According to the requirements of the strategic layout of the unified petrochemical industry chain for carbon neutrality, while relying on low-carbon technology to lay out green factories, it should also have a complete carbon neutrality industry roadmap, realize carbon footprint accounting, establish a sustainable chain, and promote a diversified and reliable low-carbon culture.
Thanks to the awareness of carbon reduction, in recent years, Uni-President Petrochemical has successively obtained ISO14067 carbon footprint accounting and certification, ESG 14064 organization-level greenhouse gas accounting and certification, ISO14046 water footprint certification, ISO 50001 energy management system certification, etc. Among them, the ISO14046 water footprint certification indicates that Uni-President has the dual measurement ability of carbon emission management and water resource utilization management.
It is understood that the unified green and low-carbon alliance is established on the basis of ISO20400 sustainable procurement standard system certification. Uni-President Petrochemical will work with alliance partners to achieve awareness of voluntary emission reduction and decarbonization. By choosing to use new environmentally friendly materials and selecting sustainable raw materials, we can reduce carbon emissions from upstream procurement. At the same time, it also promotes first-class companies to carry out third-party carbon emission testing, provide carbon emission reduction data, establish a low-carbon traceability system, and achieve carbon reduction and emission reduction from the source of production.
With the concerted efforts of the alliance partners, the Himalayan series of low-carbon lubrication products based on the LCA design concept came into being, which is the first to create plasticized products, carton packaging and oil storage bags are completely degradable, and at the same time achieve 100% utilization, it also reduces emissions in the production process. In addition, the recently launched degradable barrel packaging of Uni-President is innovatively created by using the composition and process of PMU inorganic and biodegradable materials, which are environmentally friendly and can be degraded to 90 in a natural anaerobic environment for 779 days3%, while the remainder will also be completely degraded at a steady rate.
Not only that, while actively promoting the realization of the goal of carbon neutrality, Uni-President Petrochemical is also continuously improving its ESG management system, giving full play to its leading role as an enterprise to actively organize and initiate public welfare activities, disseminate and promote low-carbon knowledge in a way that people like to see, and advocate a low-carbon life. For example, in terms of company management, by integrating the low-carbon concept into the employee handbook, employees, its distributors and customers are encouraged to jointly raise their awareness of carbon reduction and participate in low-carbon public welfare activities. In 2023, Uni-President will also launch and participate in themed public welfare activities such as "Earth Hour" and "Unified Low-Carbon Conference", calling on more partners to work together for a low-carbon future.
Since China put forward the "dual carbon" goal, Uni-President Petrochemical has long been a member of the active promotion of the goal, and has long integrated the company's low-carbon development strategy with the dual carbon mission. In the future, Uni-President will continue to adhere to the low-carbon brand strategy, actively give full play to the company's technical advantages in the field of low-carbon lubrication, shoulder the corporate mission, and strive to achieve green and low-carbon transformation for China.
