Management of Air Quality

The Group recognizes the importance of controlling and reducing air emissions that may impact the health of employees, nearby communities, and the environment. Accordingly, the Group has developed a Proactive Air Quality Management Plan covering both plant areas and surrounding communities to enhance air quality management beyond regulatory requirements.

Under this plan, the Group has implemented key measures as follows:

• Control and reduction of air emissions from plants that use waste as alternative fuel or raw materials, ensuring that emission levels remain within stringent standards.
• Installation of high-efficiency dust control systems, such as Bag House filters and Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP), to capture particulate matter before release into the atmosphere.
• Installation of Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS) to continuously monitor air emissions and ensure the optimal performance of dust control systems.
• Application of the “Mitigation Hierarchy” principle in air quality management strategies to minimize pollution risks and promote the adoption of cleaner technologies.
• Collaboration with key stakeholders, including government agencies, local communities, and private organizations, to jointly address environmental issues and promote sustainable development.

These initiatives represent the Group’s process-based targets to continuously reduce and prevent air pollution by enhancing technology, operational efficiency, and stakeholder engagement toward sustainable outcomes.

The Group emphasizes collaboration with government agencies and business partners to achieve sustainable environmental management. This includes cooperation with the Ministry of Industry to comply with environmental standards under the Notification on Standards for Air Emissions from Cement Plants Using Waste as Fuel or Raw Materials, B.E. 2549 (2006), and collaboration with affiliated companies in waste management by using waste as alternative fuel and raw materials in cement production. These efforts help reduce fossil fuel and natural resource consumption, lower air emissions, and support the transition toward a Circular Economy.

To support the Group’s commitment to sustainable environmental management, the Group has adopted the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, an internationally recognized standard for managing and controlling environmental performance across all operations. The certification is granted by accredited independent certification bodies such as SOCOTEC Certification UK Ltd, Intertek Certification Limited, and Management System Certification Institute (Thailand). Currently, approximately 83% of the Group’s subsidiaries and operational units have been certified under ISO 14001, while the remaining sites are in the process of obtaining certification. This reflects the Group’s goal of establishing a unified environmental management system across all operations.

In addition, the Group has continuously allocated budgets for pollution control and air emission management, covering the installation and maintenance of pollution control systems (Bag House, ESP, and CEMS), as well as expenses for air quality monitoring, regulatory reporting, and energy used in pollution control operations. In addition, the Group continues to invest in innovation and research & development (R&D) to enhance pollution control efficiency and optimize resource use. Examples include developing technologies to utilize waste as alternative fuel and raw materials, supporting sustainable production and environmentally friendly operations in line with the Sustainable Development Goals.

Continuous monitoring of air emissions through CEMS shows that all pollutant concentrations remain within the regulatory limits, including: Total Suspended Particulates (TSP) ≤ 50 mg/m³, Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂) ≤ 30 ppm, Nitrogen Oxides (NOₓ) ≤ 500 ppm, Heavy metals: Mercury (Hg) ≤ 0.1 mg/m³; Cadmium and Lead (Cd + Pb) combined ≤ 0.2 mg/m³; and other heavy metals combined ≤ 1 mg/m³ etc.

These results demonstrate the Group’s progress in achieving its process-based targets and commitment to maintaining emissions within the required standards.

Circular Economy

SCCC Group is driving circularity across our value chain to achieve operational decarbonization goals. By minimizing construction waste and extending the lifespan of buildings and infrastructure, we deliver innovative, sustainable solutions through our Green Portfolio, including hydraulic cement with reduced clinker content as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional portland cement.

One of the key actions driving circularity within our value chain is led by INSEE Ecocycle, a subsidiary specializing in waste management solutions. Since 2001, INSEE Ecocycle has been transforming waste into valuable resources through co-processing in cement kilns, eliminating waste without harmful emissions, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and minimizing environmental impact. Collaborating with government bodies and industries, INSEE Ecocycle sets benchmarks in hazardous waste management while aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on climate action and circular resource use.

our commitment to circularity extends to efficient waste management through consistent production process improvements, optimizing the value of resources while reducing the need for raw material extraction. By utilizing by-products from various industries, we substitute finite natural resources and fossil fuels in cement production. This approach not only conserves resources but also addresses critical waste disposal challenges, further reinforcing our dedication to sustainable development and resource efficiency.

By 2030, our ambitious Circular Economy targets, we aim to increase the use of waste-derived fuels and raw materials in clinker production from 0.5 million tons to over 1.4 million tons. Additionally, we plan to boost by-product utilization such as fly ash and slag by 65 percent, reaching over 1.7 million tons annually to produce cementitious products.

• Our circularity strategy is built on reducing the reliance on primary raw materials and enhancing the longevity of structures built with our products. We are committed to promoting sustainability through the following key initiatives:
• Promoting Circular Products and Alternative Fuels: We focus on increasing the use of alternative fuels and incorporating circular products in our operations. This includes efforts to meet our thermal substitution and clinker factor targets, thereby reducing the consumption of virgin raw materials.
• Reducing Carbon Footprint: Through initiatives such as adopting hydraulic cement and closing the carbon loop, we aim to significantly lower our carbon emissions. These steps are part of our broader commitment to mitigating climate change and advancing sustainable construction practices.
• Partnerships in Construction and Demolition Waste Management: We are exploring partnerships across Southeast Asia to manage construction and demolition waste more effectively, ensuring that these materials are repurposed and reused in a circular economy framework.

Management of Waste

Human activities create approximately 2,000 million tons of waste annually, which adversely affects the environment and contaminate various ecosystems. 31% of waste disposal is done by landfill, which habors the risk of a variety of waste contaminating groundwater in an around the area. 20% of methane emission is also found in open landfill areas. The Group is committed to completely avoid using landfill for disposal and reduce the volume of solid waste gradually, aiming for Zero Landfill. We also embrace the concept of circular economy to reduce total waste, aiming to reduce waste from the sources. In addition, to guarantee no landfill disposal, we adopt an advanced recycling system, which greatly reduce the amount of waste that requires disposal. One of our Group Companies, INSEE Ecocycle Limited, has operated with the concept of circular economy built into its business chain, offering waste management solution wherein waste is turned into a valuable resource through treatment in the cement kilns, which dosposes of waste without resulting in pollutants, reduce reliance on fossil fuel, and minimize environmental impact. The Company also collaborates with the public sector agencies and other industrial sector organizations to formulate a hazardous waste management standard, and has operated in full alignment with our sustanability targets, particularly meeting the challenges of climate change, and effective usage of circular resources.

Using industrial byproducts in place of natural resources and fossil fuel in cement production not only helps with conserving limited natural resources, but also helps with waste disposal concerns. The Group has set the target to increase usage of fuel from waste and material from waste in clinker production, increasing from 0.5 million ton to over 1.4 million ton annually. Concurrently, plan to increase usage of byproducts such as fly ashes and slags by 65% or over 1.7 million ton annually in cement adhesive by the year 2030. These strategies reflect our committment to reduce any impact to the environment, promote circular economy, and improve the efficiency of resource usage in a responsible manner in the cement industry, such that the industry is further driven towards environment friendliness and long term sustainability.

Biodiversity and Water

The Group recognizes that natural resources, such as biodiversity and water, are fundamental to ecosystems and serve as essential resources supporting the Company’s operations. This is particularly relevant to the cement manufacturing industry, which relies on the responsible use of natural resources. Therefore, sustainable management of these resources is considered a key business strategy of the Group.

Under this responsible operating approach, the Group has established clear measures and targets to minimize environmental impacts, restore ecosystems, and use water resources efficiently. The Group strives to create a balance between economic growth and environmental conservation, ensuring long-term benefits for the business, communities, and nature.

Protection and Restoration of Water Resources

The Company sees the significance of biodiversity and water resources management. Water is a vital resource for development and is crucial in supporting biodiversity and human life. Unfortunately, it is plagued with issues of scarcity, which lead to biodiversity loss and negatively impact nutrient cycles within soils, plant life and essential food crops. These issues are interconnected and will assist in handling land erosion and the regulation of the quality and quantity of water. The conservation of water and biodiversity cannot be neglected. Therefore, we must adopt and emphasize best practices. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 17 proposed by the United Nations (UN) urges collective action toward ensuring clean water and sanitation security for all.

SCCC Group is committed to reducing specific water consumption by over 20 percent and increasing the use of surface water collection to over 45 percent by 2030, Using a water resources management scheme that is focused on efficiency, the Group has worked to reduce unnecessasry use of water during production processes. We are also constantly looking for new ways to manage water usage even more effectively and efficiently.

Remarks: The disclosed information includes the Group's cement segment, domestic and international, which includes Siam City Cement Public Company Limited, Siam City Cement (Vietnam) Limited, Siam City Cement (Bangladesh) Limited, and Siam City Cement (Lanka) Limited, and the waste heat power generation business which includes Siam City Power Company Limited. Including the joint venture company, Chip Mong Insee Cement Corporation.

Approaches to Water Resources Management

The Group is acutely aware of the importance of water resources, expecially amidst the ongoing climate challenges. Each site has a water action plan. Among site specific actions, it consists of more general initiatives such as systematic measurement of our water consumption to ensure water conservation. To identify and track potential water loss as well as opportunities to optimize water consumption such as increasing equipment cooling efficiency, regular water balances are conducted by using the GCCA guideline and tools. Moreover, we keep collecting surface water by building more reservoirs (ponds and quarry dewatering) to ensure sufficient water supply for continuous operation. This also serves to maintain and reduce usage of groundwater, which is in line with the Group’s 2030 Sustainability Ambition.

The Company has appointed a Water Management Committee to oversee, supervise, and drive the implementation of water management activities at Saraburi operations. The Water Management Commitee’s responsibilities include the below processes:

• Review and develop a Water Diagram.
• Inspect and analyze the Water Balance.
• Survey water meters and pipelines, and compile a Water Meter List.
• Verify the accuracy of water meters and update relevant records.
• Test and validate meter functionality, and repair or replace faulty meters.
• Identify water leakage points and develop maintenance plans for critical areas.

The above are regularly analyzed for continuous improvement of water management enhancement plans, and are part of the push towards introduction of processes that promote recycling and usage reduction of groundwater. These work processes are consistently monitored and improved upon, to guarantee alignment with our sustainability goals.

The Company’s focus is on environmentally responsible operation, and to this end we operate in strict compliance with the relevant laws and water quality standards. Wastewater treatment systems are regularly inspected, as is the quality of wastewater output by such systems, to ensure they meet global standards. All business units of the Group are in complete alignment with the Sustainability Guidelines of the Global Cement and Concrete Association: GCCA,) with water usage regularly tracked and water usage reports covering key indicators in a consistent manner. In particular, water usage for our operation in Saraburi is independently monitored and verified by Kasetsart University through the carbon footprint assessment process as dictated by the regulations for ready-mix cement products of the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization.)

Important Projects

The Group is well aware of the importance of efficient and sustainable water resources management to prepare for water quality and climate challenges in various areas, which can directly affect operation costs. The Group, as such, has adopted a systematic water risk assessment and management scheme, which tracks all relevant costs, such as expenses for reserve water procurement, water treatment, reservoir maintenance, and compliance to relevant laws and regulations. The Group has worked towards reducing water risks and enhancing long term water flexibility through investment in various water management systems, such as the water metering system improvement project for improved accuracy and eficiency in assessing water usage, the waste heat recovery (WHR) water recycling system, and retention and usage of rainwater in production processes.

• Water metering system improvement – The Group has invested in improving the water metering system, adopting the variable speed drive (VSD) for improved water circulation and reduced leakage. A smartphone application has also been developed for water meter recording, which helps with accurate tracking of water usage and ease of use. This allows for systematic, efficient water resources usage tracking with high accuracy.
• Plant water leakage monitoring project – The Group has initiated an ongoing activity to detect water leakage in plants, with all employees and contractors welcome to participate in inspecting and reporting leakages in operation areas, to encourage timely reporting of malunctions and swift addressing of such, while also encouraging efficient use of water resources and operation cost reduction. The activity covers the cement business of the Group, both domestic and overseas.
• Ground water reservoirs - The Group has constructed two reservoirs for surface water reserving various areas, including 2 reservoirs in Saraburi, one being an open pit with a capacity of 200,000cbm, and another a P8 reservoir with a capacity of 25,000cbm. Two reservoirs are in Vietnam, one in the Cat Lai Port area, and one in the Hiep Phuoc plant area. One reservoir is in Sri Lanka, being located in the Puttalam plant area. Surface water in said reservoirs are used in pollution control processes as well as temperature control during production, which aligns with out goal to reduce reliance on groundwater, per our 2030 Sustainability Ambition, which aims to use surface water for as much as more than 45% of the processes.
• Zero Discharge project – The Group prioritizes comprehensive wastewater management, with water used in production processes within the Company’s operation area being treated before being reused in entirety, resulting in zero wastewater reaching external water reserves. For our operation in Vietnam, the waste heat receovery (WHR) system is used in the Hon Chong plant, with 10,000cbm – 15,000cbm of wastewater being treated and reused annually. Such water is also used, after treatment, in the Hon Chong plant, and the Cat Lai port as part of the operation of the Company’s other businesses.

Biodiversity Disclosure Scope of the Group

Disclosure of information pertaining to biodiversity, as well as the use of “the Group” in this context, cover only Group Companies that deal in the cement production business, which operates mines as part of the production processes. This include such Group Companies in Thailand, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka, excluding a Group Company Bangladesh which only operates a cement production plant.

Biodiversity Strategic Missions and Target Setting for Group Sustainability

The Board of Directors fully respects the natural capital, which is critical to doing business in a sustainable manner, and sees the importance of monitoring and tracking operations of all levels to ensure, with strategies in place to promote the achievement of such a goal, the Group’s business operations are truly environmentally and socially responsible.

In 2020, the Board of Directors considered and approved 5 sustainability targets of the Group, with “Biodiversity and the Significance of Water” being one of such targets. As well, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of relevant Key Performance Indicators (KPI) including net positive impact to biodiversity within 2030 with the baseline year being 2020, with all businesses in all countries that operate mines being mutually responsible for this KPI.

Our Domestic and International Allies

In all countries where the Group operates mines, environmental impact assessment reports (EIA) are conducted for new projects as part of the application for concession, and for existing projects as well for renewal of concessions. These reports include considerarion of biodiversity matters jointly assessed by private and public sector experts. During operation, we collaborate with academics from leading universities on environmental subjects to conduct biodiversity self evaluations and biodiversity audits to ensure our operation plan is continuously improved

On the international scale, Siam City Cement Public Company Limited is a member of the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) whose objective is to elevate the cement and concrete businesses. We collaborate with GCCA members, who are leading cement producers around the globe, in designing biodiversity targets for net positive impact. The Group also co-signed a memorandum of understanding with the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) in 2021, which dictates the implementation of roadmaps to support the countries in developing biodiversity action plans.

These actions reflect the Group’s resolve to leave positive impacts biodiversity-wise to the areas we operate in, in tandem with improving the quality of the environment, addressing local communities’ needs, and meeting the expectations of all stakeholders. Utmost care is given to all parts of our operation, with plans in place to prevent and reduce the impact to, and to restore, maintain, and promote biodiversity in the operation areas and surrounding areas.

Assessment of Critical Habitats and Biodiversity Risk Management

To prepare reports on the environmental impacts by mining, government registered experts are fully involved in data collection and field survey. Collected data include species of plants and animals found in the project areas, and the coverage of assessments include the assessment on potential impact to the environment and wildlife in the operation areas during the projected operation timeline in financial terms. As well, measures to reduce, control, and prevent potential impact are reviewed by government agencies.

Environmental impact assessment reports are a requirement for all new mining concession proposals and concession renewal applications, and as such the Group is proactively conducting annual self-assessments jointly with associated academics, with external experts employed to conduct perdiodical reviews, to ensure measures according to the restoration work plan are executed efficiently and that appropriate improvements are made where needed.

Our mining operations are mountaintop mining, which requires only deforestation of the operation areas and utility areas at the centre of the operation areas, with surrounding areas being excluded, to act as buffers and to reduce environmental impact. Continued mining operations will only see the same operation areas being slightly expanded. Our mining operations are accompanied by the area restoration plan, which aims to rehabilitate the affected areas and restore them to as close to their natural state as possible. Limestone mines in Thailand are located in Saraburi, in mountainous areas, covered in mixed deciduous forests, with buffer zones surround the mines nearly as large as the mining areas themselves.

The Group manages biodiversity risks systematically as dictated by our migitation hierarchy, as shown below.

The Mitigation Hierarchy

Examples of Mitigation Hierarchy, Targets, and Annual Results

Avoid : We set a target for deforestation prevention in the buffer areas, aiming for zero deforestation. In 2024, this target was met at 100% success rate.

Minimize : We set a target for all mining operations to be conducted only in the pit areas, and to comply strictly to the mining area plans, with expectation being 100% compliance. This was fully achieved in 2024.

Rehabilitate : We set a target for restoration of mining operation areas after their operations have concluded as determined in the EIA. For example, in Thailand, we aim for an annual 5.875 rais of area restoration. For 2024, we exceeded this target, with 377 rais of area being restored, 32,646 tree planted, and 40 species of seedlings being planted. As well, our target for extermination of white lead trees, an invasive species, to preserve other species in the target areas, was exceeoded in 2024. Our obligations to IUCN set to be met within 2025, as well, were all met in 2024.

Offset : We collaborate with the communities, related government agencies, and the IUCN and other such similar organizations in the forestation of areas surround our plants, as well as in other plant and wildlife preservation projects. As an example, in Sri Lanka, the Group has initiated a project to restore mangrove forests negatively impacted by fishery and tourism. As part of the project, in collaboration with the Wildlife and Ocean Resource Conservation (WORC,) the Group has planted 1,500 mangrove trees, and 1,500 other plants around the Thalathuduwa and Kurulu Duwa islands, with the outcome of this project continuing to be tracked by WORC. Another example is the restoration project for coral reefs adversely affected by the En-nino effect, which sees the surface temperature of the Central Pacific Ocean and the near-equator area of the Eastern Pacific Ocean rising to an abnormal degree, with the project aiming to create an infrastructure for coral and species of fish’s habitation and reproduction. The project is currently under monitoring by the Sri Lanka Navy and the IUCN. Another example in Vietnam is our sarus cranes conservation program in the Binh Tri and Phu My areas.

Examples of Mitigation Activities in Thailand in 2024

• The mining area restoration fund – The Group fully supports the restoration of operation areas after mining is concluded, annual mining and restoration plan available, prepared in collaboration with experts from Kasetsart University with extensive and ongoing surveying and research in the areas’ biodiversity to ensure the areas are restored to as close to their natural state as possible. Data of wildlife and plant species is collected and analyze, acting as a base of scientific information for which we use in managing the restoration areas. The Company also tracks the growth of planted trees as part of this project, to assess the effectiveness of the restoration. The data we collect is used for habitat restoration, preservation of plants and wildlife, and ecosystem preservation. The result of this project not only helps with more effectively restoring the areas, but also reflects the Company’s progress in creating a positive impact towards biodiversity, and our commitment to achieve net positive impact by the year 2030.
  

  

• Seedlings project – The Group has surveyed the buffer areas and has found that there are more than 100 local species of plants in such areas. We have gather seedlings of the local species from these areas for propagation in the established plant nursery, which are then ised as part of the conservation and restoration of loca plants in the areas to return them to as close to their natural state as possible. The resultant plant seedlings from the nursery are also used in other coporate social responsibility programs with communities surrounding the areas. The Company’s target is to propagate at least 50 species of local plants by the year 2030. In 2024, over 40 species of local plants have been propagated. The Company also consistently minitors and controls invasive species of plants found in the areas, to ensure they are contained and their impact to biodiversity is minimized.

• Give & Grow project – The Group collaborates with the relevant government agencies and organizations for the offsite tree-planting initiative, which is aimed at restoring the ecosystem and promote diversity on a wide scale. The Company provides seedlings from the Company’s nursery to said agencies and organizations both national and local for planting and restoring areas, with the target being 500 seedlings provided annually. In 2024, the Company provide more than 900 seedlings, with collaborations being made with the Navaminda Kasatriyadhiraj Royal Air Force Academy, the Chet Kot-Pong Kon Sao National Park, and local communities in the Thap Kwang subdistrict, Kaeng Khoi district, Saraburi. This coordinated effort with the agencies and local communities reflects our role in being a driving force behind the conservation of natural resources and lessening of the negative impact to biodiversity, which pave way to sustainability for the communities and the country.
  

  

• The seedlings for communities and schools project – The Group promotes participations in conservation and restoration of biodiversity in the operation areas by the local communities and schools through the communities and schools seedlings project, an activity which sees a total of 800 seedlings being planted annually. The project encourages participation and building the sense of community pride in the people of the communities and the local students, as drivers of the restoration and sustainable conservation of the ecosystem.
  • Communities seedlings – The Group buys seeds from the local communities which are then nursed into seedlings for use in restoring the mining areas. This provide the communities with additional income, and involves the communities directly in the sonservation and restoration of natural resources.
  • Schools seedlings – The Group provide small seedlings from the nursery to local schools, such as the Thap Kwang Kindergarten, and encourages students to care for and learn about the plants and conservation of nature. Grown seedlings are collected by the Company for further use in mining areas restoration.
• Stakeholders knowledge sharing – The ecology classroom activity is created to provide knowledge and information on biodiversity in the Saraburi quarry and the surrounding areas. An Open House activity is also arranged for the local communities and schools, to promote the awareness of and participation in conserving biodiversity and community participation.
