Taiheyo Cement Corporation
Statements on Climate Change
“The Taiheiyo Cement Group ‘aspires to play a leading role in pioneering a
sustainable future by ensuring that its business activities reflect not only economic
development priorities, but also environmental and social responsibility
considerations.’ We put this philosophy into practice by strengthening our overall
profitability and financial standing, and maximizing the sum total of our corporate
value while striving to utilize management resources in an integrated and efficient
manner that minimizes costs and risks.
At the same time we are dedicated to protecting the Earth’s environment and
realizing a recycling-based society by taking advantage of both the unique ability of
cement plants to process and recycle large volumes of waste products and
byproducts, and the recycling technologies we have developed over time to enable
this approach.”282
“This year we will strive to increase profitability by boosting sales of biomass fuel
to the rapidly growing number of biomass power plants, processing incineration ash
from these facilities and processing waste plastic, a service for which we expect
demand to grow due to Chinese import restrictions on waste.”283
