Promoting environmental concerns
SET emphasizes effective water management, and has
chosen water-saving devices such as sanitary ware,
faucets, and showerheads, using 43% less water than
before. SET has a rainwater catchment system that reduces
the rainwater flow rate from green areas by 25%. In addition,
wastewater treatment technology reduces wastewater
release by 98%, as wastewater is treated and used in
cooling towers and for watering plants. In 2015, SET
used 71,137 m

SET educates its staff to contribute to environment
conservation and consume resources effectively such
as how to discard used toilet papers, use both side of a
sheet of paper, use of cane paper instead of Styrofoam,
minimize usage of plastic water bottles in meetings, and
use bicycles and public transport. SET encourages staff
to separate waste through the event the
“Cabinet and
the Paper”
, which educated staff to be responsible for
confidential information and proper paper sorting.
SET also encourages
“green procurement”
, avoiding
materials that consist of harmful substances and pollutants,
such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and
formaldehyde. SET promotes using green label products,
particularly consumables such as paper, toilet paper,
and cleaning products, and includes the use of green
technology.
