Environmental
The company is dedicated to advancing business initiatives within the SMART GREEN CITY framework, emphasizing the promotion of clean energy utilization and energy-efficient technologies that minimize pollution. It is firmly committed to environmentally sustainable practices by effectively managing and reducing greenhouse gas emissions that adversely affect ecosystems as a result of its business operations.
Energy Management
Solar Energy
Solar Energy is essential and a key factor in daily operations. The company recognizes the importance of using green energy, renewable energy to replace energy sources that cause pollution. Solar cells are an alternative that is easy to install, cost-effective, and efficient in producing stable electricity.
Building Management with Applications
The company has implemented AIoT and FMS systems for managing various systems within the headquarters and branch offices, including Smart Meeting Rooms, Smart Lighting and Control to manage devices such as lighting, air conditioning, and CCTV systems. This improves operational efficiency and convenience, with controls accessible via an application from anywhere. Motion sensors are also installed in stairways and bathrooms to automatically turn lights on/off when someone is present, as well as in outdoor areas like gardens and walkways to reduce unnecessary energy waste. This initiative not only reduces company costs but also raises employee awareness of energy conservation.
Encouraging the Use of Electric Cars and Motorcycles
The company has set up charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) and motorcycles within the company premises, providing a trial service for employees and the general public to familiarize them with electric vehicles. The company is also developing a platform application for convenient and efficient use of these charging stations to enhance user experience and build confidence in EV usage, aiming for higher adoption in the future.
Waste Management and Landscaping Around the Building and Parking Lot
Waste Management within the Building
The company runs continuous campaigns for waste segregation and paper reduction, making it easier to dispose of or recycle materials, helping to reduce environmental impacts. Waste bins are placed in various locations inside and around the office, and employees are educated about different types of waste separation. The company also encourages reducing paper usage to conserve natural resources, protect the environment, and reduce purchasing costs. Additionally, food scraps from employees are separated for composting and distributed for use as fertilizer for plants.
Landscaping Around the Building and Parking Lot
The company has committed to creating gardens around the office and maintaining large trees (over 50 years old) in the parking lot to help reduce environmental impacts, such as reducing the heat that increases the need for air conditioning and preventing heat buildup in vehicles. This reduces energy consumption and enhances the overall environment, benefiting employees, visitors, and nearby residents over the past 25 years.
Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Problem
Greenhouse effect Management
In line with its environmental conservation policy, the company has undertaken various initiatives to reduce greenhouse effect emissions:
- A policy to switch from gasoline-powered motorcycles to electric motorcycles to reduce air pollution, with battery swapping stations set up at the headquarters. Electricity used for charging is sourced from the company’s solar panels. The company also conducts research and development on a platform to analyze energy efficiency and further develop energy services in the future.
- Implementing sustainable resource management practices to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse effect emissions, such as setting policies to reduce paper printing and shift to electronic document storage.
- Produces organic fertilizer from food waste generated by employees to reduce the amount of waste that needs to be collected, which is a primary source of methane emissions from food decomposition. Methane has a significantly higher potential for heat retention, or greenhouse gas effect, being 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
- Implemented a process for disposing of plastic film and carbon materials, which are waste products from printing vehicle registration plates, by recycling them and converting them into industrial fuel. This initiative helps reduce the contamination of microplastics and carbon film through the company's waste sorting facility.
