We care about Environment

The pressure on our planet’s limited natural resources and the challenge of climate change require prompt and concerted action from us all

Our planet matters. People matter. Because we care for both, we act in ways to create a more sustainable and better-shared future. Where we try to make a difference in people’s lives, communities and the earth.

We believe in implementing sustainable growth so as to preserve and improve our environment

Change only comes through continuous improvement. Our Environmental Management System is the framework that helps us achieve our environmental goals through consistent review, evaluation, and improvement of environmental performance.

The highlights of our environmental endeavours:

• We conduct product assessments to be used for the design and development of environmentally friendly products.
• As an initiative to prevent global warming, SMC achieved a 4.1% reduction of CO₂ emissions per unit of production compared to the Sixth Term (FY2014-2016) average.
• As an initiative to save resources, SMC achieved a 2.1% reduction of waste discharged per unit of production compared to the Sixth Term (FY2014-2016) average.
• All regional groups consisting of our major production facilities participated in climate change actions organised by local governments and industry groups and community beautification activities, as well as conducting awareness-building programmes for employees.
