Pioneer in Sustainability and Net Zero Efforts, CTCI Organizes First Sustainability Engineering Symposium

As sustainable development becomes a critical global trend, CTCI co-organizes the “2021 Taiwan Sustainability Engineering Symposium—Smart Engineering Technologies” with CTCI Education Foundation (CTCI EF) in December, 2021 at GIS MOTC Convention Center.

Participated by around 200 engineering experts, industry leaders, and CTCI engineers, the symposium allowed engineering professionals to engage in a meaningful exchange of ideas and discussions on the topics of sustainable development and net zero emissions.

The symposium focuses discussion on how engineering technologies could benefit to foster global sustainable development. CTCI’s sustainability efforts in iEPC (intelligent EPC), smart plants, circular economy, and green engineering, as well as carbon neutrality were shared.  

The symposium was composed of two half-day sessions. In the morning session, experts and senior managers at CTCI gave a series of lecturers: “Roles Engineers Play in Fulfilling the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals,” “Sustainable Green Engineering Projects with an Innovative Approach,” “Sustainable Engineering and a Net Zero Vision,” “iEPC Projects,” and “Circular Economy, Construction Industry, and Net Zero Emissions.” Presenters were in the following order: Pen-Chi Chiang, Emeritus Professor at The Graduate Institute of Environmental Engineering, National Taiwan University; Ming-Li Lee, President at EPC Operations, CTCI Corporation; Young Ku, CEO of Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy; Henry Han, Head of CTCI Group Research & Innovation Center; and Lian-Jeng Leu, President, Taiwan Construction Research Institute. The afternoon session was conducted in a world café fashion. Hosted by Shin-Cheng Yeh, Professor at Graduate Institute of Environmental Education, National Taiwan Normal University; participants were encouraged to discuss on the given topics and exchange opinions.

We at CTCI promote "Fulfilling Net Zero EPC (engineering, procurement, construction) Mission through Company-wide ESG (environmental, social, and corporate governance) Engagement” and aim to realize a vision of becoming a guardian of the Earth by employing innovative green engineering technologies. We advance our green engineering practices via “green technologies,” “green and low-carbon projects contracting,” and “green investment” to create a win-win situation for the economy and the environment. Besides, we actively support global carbon reduction action, joining the Taiwan Alliance for Net Zero Emission and the Taiwan Net Zero Emissions Association, and committed to achieving net zero emission target for office areas in 2030 and to include all project sites in 2050. Hopefully, we could foster “Net Zero EPC Projects” by joining hands with supply chain partners worldwide.

Committed to realizing our brand spirit as the most reliable global engineering services provider, we will continue making positive impacts in green engineering and facilitating the net zero EPC projects with over 7,000 of global colleagues heading towards this very goal at day-to-day works.
