Sustainability Report 2017

57 footprint evaluation guidelines of Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization and have the results verified by a third-party expert on an annual basis The record showed that SET’s main source of greenhouse gas emissions is electricity consumption. Therefore, SET has set the goal to reduce the electricity consumption by 3% in 2018. In addition, SET also aims to become a low-carbon organization. SET is developing carbon offsetting plans to enhance the organization’s environmental management in line with international standards. Greenhouse gas emissions from business operations are the main cause of the global warming and climate change which, in turn, have negative impact on the business sector in several ways, including natural disasters, the depletion of raw materials and energy, and high production costs. SET places importance on efficient energy and resource management to minimize the greenhouse gas emissions. In 2017, SET managed to: • Prepare and implement its energy and environmental conservation plans • Use renewable energy, including solar energy generated from panels on the parking building’s rooftop • Evaluate and report the results of the greenhouse gas emission management in accordance with the carbon Type Sources of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Amount of Greenhouse Gas Emitted (Unit : Ton of CO 2 equivalent per year) 2016 2017 Scope 1 • Organization’s automobiles (diesel) • Organization’s automobiles (gasoline) • Diesel for fire-fighting water pumps • R-404A refrigerants for air-conditioners 73.56 106.28 8.82 2.13 71.77 97.01 6.51 - Scope 2 • Electrical power 5,162.06 5,223.18 Scope 3 • Paper • R-22 refrigerants for air-conditioners 16.24 19.37 32.45 18.28 Total 5,388.46 5,449.20 With the determination to reduce environmental impact through the implementation of the energy and environmental conservation policy, in 2017, SET was locally and regionally recognized of its environmental management and granted the following awards: • Thailand Energy Awards 2017: The Award for Excellence in Energy Conservation for EE Creative Building (New and Existing Building) by Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency, Ministry of Energy • ASEAN Energy Awards 2017: The second runner-up award for Green Building, by ASEAN Centre for Energy • Green Office Awards: The gold medal (Excellent), by Department of Environmental Quality Promotion and Mahidol University • Certification of Carbon Footprint for Organizations, by Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization Greenhouse Gas Management (305-4), (305-5) (305-1) (305-2) (305-3)
