About SET and Sustainable
Sustainability Performance
Sustainability Management Market Growth
In 2020, SET generated 86,120 kilograms of waste. Of this amount, 25,650 kilograms, or 29.78% of total waste, was sent to be used as fuel for cement production. Moreover, SET aims to reduce the amount of total waste by encouraging employees to use resources wisely and continue the implementation of the “Care the Whale” Project. 305-1 305-5
SET is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to zero (carbon neutral). In 2020, key greenhouse gas management efforts were as follows:
Reduced direct greenhouse gas emissions (scope 1) and indirect greenhouse gas emissions (scope 2) by controlling the total volume of greenhouse gas emissions to under 5,398 tCO2e per year (compared to base year 2017).
Operated according to the energy conservation plan, particularly on electricity use (scope 2 emissions), which constitutes 95% of the organization’s total greenhouse gas emissions.
Participated in the Thailand Voluntary Emission Reduction Program (T-VER). From 2018 to 2020, SET received the certification that it had been able to reduce 2,777 tCO2e of greenhouse gas emissions by generating electricity from solar energy and through the replacement of conventional lightbulbs to LED lightbulbs.
SET has prepared a greenhouse gas emissions report in accordance with the guidelines of the Carbon Footprint for Organization (CFO) assessment of the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO). The report covers scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions. It has been verified and assured of accuracy by an external agency. In 2020, SET’s total greenhouse gas emission was 4,056 tCO2e, a reduction of 298 tCO2e per year. This is equivalent to a 6.80% decrease from 2019.

SET’s approach to water consumption ensures efficiency from the selection of water-saving equipment, such as the water pipeline system, sanitary ware and faucets, to the improvement and maintenance of its wastewater treatment system using modern technology. Such efforts ensure that treated wastewater can be reused effectively for building maintenance. Examples of measures include:
Improving the wastewater filtration system (treated wastewater). The quality of the water that has passed through the filtration system is of the same high quality as achieved using a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system, meaning that more water can be reused. Improving the efficiencies of the wastewater treatment system and the RO water pretreatment system.
In 2020, SET consumed a total of 42,256 cubic meters of water, a decrease of 17.14% from 2019. This resulted from the decrease in building visitors and activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Waste Management 306-2
SET has in place an efficient waste management system and campaigns to raise employees’ awareness regarding waste. SET encourages its employees to actively participate in reducing and sorting waste correctly by using the “Invisible Trash” concept of the Care the Whale Project, in order to achieve the “Zero Waste to Landfill” target. In 2020, SET’s achievements on waste management were as follows:
Continued partnering with Siam Cement Group Public Company Limited (SCG) to reuse waste as a fuel source for cement production, thereby mitigating the problem of waste to landfill.
Replaced plastic bottle packaging with glass bottles.
Processed organic waste into organic fertilizers. Promoted awareness and behavioral change among employees and building users to foster cooperation on reducing environmental impacts with the goal of “Zero Waste to Landfill”.
