According to Bangkok Post article published on December 14, 2022, IRPC Public Company Limited (IRPC) has joined the Carbon Footprint for Organizations (CFO) powered by the Federation of Thai Industries with support from Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organisation forming an extensive network of carbon footprint calculation across industrial sectors.
In collaboration with Polyolefins Department, Styrenics & Aromatics Department, Quality Management, Safety, Occupational Health, Environment Department & Industrial Zone Management Department, IRPC is thereby certified with a carbon footprint label approved by Carbon Footprint for Organizations on 29 November 2022, for the following seven manufacturing sites: Polypropylene (PP) Plant, Compounded Polypropylene Plastic (PPC) Plant, PTK Catalyst Plant, High Density Polyethylene with High Density and Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (HDPE & UHMWPE), Polystyrene Pellet (PS) Plant , Benzene, Toluene, Xylene (BTX) Plant, and Ethyl Benzene Styrene Monomer (EBSM) Plant.
In applying to the Carbon Footprint Registry, IRPC reaffirms its vision and leadership in environment good governance and sustainability. At the same time, it inspires others as a role model laying out a blueprint for a carbon footprint sequestration framework which can handle the emergence of carbon tax and trade regulations for the environment going forward. This, in turn, also reassures trade partners in their policies concerning environment preservation and carbon footprint evaluation.
