SET’s Environmental Management Approach
SET has established its environmental management policies and practices in accordance with laws, regulations and international standards. In addition, performance reports are regularly submitted to the Board of Governors to ensure efficient resource management and consumption, increased efficiency in business operations, and reduced environmental impacts. SET’s key environmental management approach can be summarized as follows:
1. Apply innovation and technology in building management to enable efficient use of energy and resources.
2. Reduce direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions, and produce a greenhouse gas emissions report based on the criteria of the Carbon Footprint for Organization to serve as the basis for controlling and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Green Building
The SET Building serves as the center for asset and investment services. With 64,000 square meters of usage area, it offers spaces for both offices and multi-purpose use, such as for the Maruey Library and INVESTORY Museum. This translates into daily and potentially wasteful consumption of electricity, water and other non-renewable materials. This is particularly the case for electricity consumed by air-conditioners, computers, and indoor office lighting. SET is thus fully committed to maintaining and caring for the building in order to optimize resource use and minimize environmental impacts according to Green Building guidelines. SET’s 2020 goal was to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its business operations by 3%. 302-1
302-4 Energy Management 302-5
SET prioritizes building design by focusing on the usage and maintenance of energy-efficient electrical appliances and environmentally friendly technologies that reduce electricity and fuel consumption. In 2020, key performances were as follows:
Reduced the use of electrical appliances. Generated electricity from renewable energy sources (solar panels) with a power
3. Promote green procurement processes.
4. Build partnerships with organizations to reduce environmental
impacts.
In 2020, SET passed the assessment criteria for the Green Office Award 2020 and became the first in Asia to receive the highest 3-star rating for the “fitwel Award”. The award recognizes buildings that enhance the well-being of its occupants, and reflects SET’s commitment to environmental management and the health and safety of its building occupants. Over the past year, SET also passed the assessment criteria for the ASEAN Building Fire Safety Awards 2020.
supply distribution equal to 69,829 kWh, an amount capable of reducing electricity purchases by 1%.
Utilized technologies that enable a reduction in fuel consumption by increasing the hybrid vehicle fleet by 25% from 2018 to 65% of the total number of vehicles. Furthermore, three parking spaces with EV chargers have been installed for hybrid electric vehicles and battery powered electric vehicles.
In 2020, SET consumed a total of 7,819,829 kilowatt hours of electricity (totaled from 7,750,000 kilowatt hours of electricity purchased and 69,829 kilowatt hours of electricity generated from solar energy). However, SET's energy conservation measures and impacts from the state of emergency arising from COVID-19 have resulted in reduced electricity purchases by 6.74% from the previous year. This translated into more than 2,470,119 baht in electricity costs saved. Meanwhile, the organization’s total fuel consumption was 80,434 liters, a decrease of 2.14% compared to 2019 due to a decrease in work-related travel.
