The targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions

"The company has set a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with Thailand's policy following its participation in the COP26 conference. The main objective is for Thailand to achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2050 and to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2065. Subsequently, at the COP27 conference, Thailand established new policies and plans for climate change as follows:"

Set the greenhouse gas emission

target 5 years earlier than previously planned

from 2030 to 2025.

Adjust the carbon neutrality

target to be 15 years earlier than originally planned.

Advance the net-zero greenhouse gas emissions target

by 35 years

from 2065 to 2050.

Set the NDC

target at 40% by 2030.

Reduce net greenhouse gas emissions

to zero by 40% by 2030.

Environmental Improvement Roadmap for GHG Reduction

Greenhouse Gas Management

The amount of greenhouse gas emissions GHG (ton CO2e) in 2024

SCOPE 1 : Direct GHG Emissions

507 ton CO2e

SCOPE 2 : Energy Indirect Emissions

2,362 ton CO2e

Others

635 ton CO2e

SCOPE 1 : Direct GHG Emissions

From activities within the organization, such as the incineration of machinery, the use of company-owned vehicles, the utilization of chemicals for wastewater treatment, and the occurrence of leaks or spills from processes or activities.

SCOPE 2 : Energy Indirect Emissions

The purchase of electricity, heat energy, and steam energy for use within the organization.

SCOPE 3: Other Indirect Emissions of Greenhouse Gases

Employee commuting using non-organization vehicles, traveling to off-site conferences, and the use of various materials and equipment contribute to the establishment of management guidelines for effective greenhouse gas emissions reduction. This applies to the levels of factories, industries, and the country as a whole. The benefits of conducting a Business Sector Carbon Footprint Assessment (CFO) include evaluating the amount of greenhouse gas emissions released from organizational activities and identifying significant causes of emissions. This assessment helps identify strategies to reduce the organization's greenhouse gas emissions and may involve implementing carbon offset activities. The government can utilize such assessments as a guideline to drive the management of greenhouse gas emissions for the collective benefit of the country.

Target

Recycle of garbage and waste by 20% compared to 2022

Management strategy

Implement 3Rs principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle)

Operate according to the ISO 14001 environmental management system

2023 performance

22% of waste and garbage was recycled, higher than the set target

Future plans

Continuously control waste and garbage management in line with the 3Rs principles.

Manage waste by separating and disposing of it according to the laws, as well as promoting reuse and recycling. For example, recycling toll receipts and unused paper into Green Way notebooks, which are then donated to underprivileged schools throughout the country. The company cooperates with GEPP Sa-Ard, a startup for waste management, to sort waste for reuse. This cooperation includes the implementation of sustainable waste management, aiming for Zero Waste to Landfill. Waste generated within the office and at the toll gates is sorted into a system, allowing part of the waste to become useful.

โครงการติดตั้งแผงรับพลังงานแสงอาทิตย์บนหลังคาอาคารสำนักงานและอาคารด่านเก็บค่าผ่านทาง (Solar Rooftop)

In 2023, the Company installed solar rooftops at two locations: the MOC building and the Don Muang Toll Plaza building, with a capacity of 200 kWp. These installations can generate 484,900 kWh of electricity per year, helping to reduce electricity consumption by more than 25-30%, which is equivalent to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 225 tons of CO2e per year. This is part of the Company's efforts to implement various energy-saving measures. Moreover, the Company plans to install solar rooftops on eight more toll plaza buildings for an additional 180 kWp within 2024. The Company is also conducting studies on the installation of equipment that reduces electricity consumption for lighting systems, as the majority of electricity consumption comes from tollway lighting.

Solar panel equipment for emergency calls on the way

Installed a solar-powered emergency phone To replace the old equipment that has been in use for more than 25 years, 99 sets of emergency telephones have been replaced on the road with GSM and solar energy.

Using and servicing electric vehicles (EVs)

The company has installed a 50KW DC Fast Charge charging station that can be charged to full capacity within 1 hour and changed the executive car to an EV.

Pollution Management

The Company has monitored and measured pollution values from operations by a legally authorized measurement agency to control in accordance with the law. The measurement results are as follows:

The quality of air pollution measured by 3rd parties is within the standard.

The Company measures air quality in general and collects air samples using a High Volume Air sampler to analyze the concentration of dust particles up to 100 microns in size over a 24-hour period at a location in front of the toll booths.

The Company measures and assesses noise levels throughout its operations using an external agency. This helps to control, prevent, and improve the working environment related to noise in accordance with specified laws, as well as monitor potential impacts on communities near the service routes.

The company manages waste by separating and disposing of it according to legal requirements. It follows the 3Rs concept: reduce, reuse, and recycle, to minimize environmental impacts. The company aims to reduce the amount of waste sent for disposal to a minimum and seeks opportunities to reuse waste for maximum benefit, in line with the principles of the circular economy. The goal is to achieve zero waste from business processes being sent to landfills.

The Company manages effluent in accordance with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment's regulations regarding the standards for controlling wastewater discharge from certain types and sizes of buildings (B.E. 2548) and the announcement on building types as sources of pollution that must be controlled for wastewater discharge to public water sources or the environment (B.E. 2548). As a result, an external agency is hired to measure and evaluate the effluent at least once a year.

Assessment of Risks and Opportunities from Climate Change GRI201-2

Greenhouse Gas Reduction Data for Don Muang Tollway Public Company Limited According to the business classification by the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), and an examination of the impact of future legislative measures, an analysis of risks and opportunities for organizational development has been conducted. The significant issues are as follows:

  1. Extreme Risk Issue The assessment and disclosure of greenhouse gas reduction data in the annual report only cover 2 projects out of 16. Additionally, there is a lack of clear identification of significant greenhouse gas emission sources (hotspots). This may hinder the ability to meet the greenhouse gas reduction targets as outlined in risks 1, 2, and 3, due to insufficient monitoring of reduction efforts.
  2. High Risk Issue Due to the Climate Change Act and the Clean Air Management Act, which specify national targets and tax measures, as detailed in risks 4, 5, 6, and 7.
  3. Medium Risk Issue Arises from the Clean Air Management Act, which regulates vehicles to ensure they do not exceed pollution standards, as mentioned in risk 8.
  4. Low Risk Issue Related to the Reporting Requirements Act and various penalties, as indicated in risks 9, 10, and 11.
