Climate Leadership

Transitioning towards Low-Carbon Resilience

ASEH adopts a four-prong approach through low-carbon strategies, a comprehensive management framework, socially responsible actions and performance-oriented results. We begin by establishing a clear-cut strategic axis for low-carbon transition and then applying international management standards to strengthen internal systems and taking responsible actions to improve production models and create green value with our value chain partners.

Climate change and energy resource management present a host of challenges and opportunities for ASEH as developments relating to government policies, technology and decarbonization as well as natural disasters can drastically impact ASEH’s operations. ASEH views challenges as opportunities and in response to climate change, we plan to share our low-carbon solutions with the global market to demonstrate our leadership in sustainability and to meet stakeholder expectations. To meet the expectations of stakeholders, we issued our first Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, TCFD report this year, which publicly disclosed our net zero emission plans, targets, and strategies.

Low-carbon strategies

• Low-Carbon Energy Resource Diversification：promoting low-carbon development through energy saving, green energy and energy storage
• Smart green facilities: building low carbon buildings and factories which use resource recycling and smart technologies to manage operations and production
• Innovative technology and investments: Invest in green energy or carbon capture and storage technologies to lower environmental and external social costs
• Climate solutions: providing the global market with feasible low-carbon solutions
• Sustainable lifestyle: promoting and internalizing a sustainable way of life by fostering a low-carbon culture internally and contributing low-carbon solutions externally

Comprehensive management framework

Managing climate-related risks and opportunities within ASEH’s enterprise risk management (ERM) framework by adopting the recommendations issued by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD, formed by the Financial Stability Board) yearly. Through the combination of scenario analysis, possible outcomes can be simulated from various uncertainties in climate change so as to control risks within acceptable parameters, thereby protecting and advancing the company’s overall interests.
