BYK Shanghai receives “Carbon Footprint Award”
BYK Shanghai has received the “Carbon Footprint Award” commissioned under “Responsible Care® Initiative Award”. The prize was handed over at the sixth AICM Responsible Care® Award Ceremony in Chongqing in May in recognition of the company’s excellence in sustainability and its decarbonization commitments. This is the first such prize that BYK Shanghai has received honoring its successful sustainability achievements. Mr. Liang Ma, BYK Shanghai Operations Manager, accepted the trophy on behalf of the company.
The project that earned the award is the 2,000-square-meter solar plant located on the BYK Shanghai integrated site. The plant is capable of providing approximately 400 MWh of electricity for use on the site, representing a 200-ton reduction in carbon emissions per year. In 2023, BYK Shanghai will continuously reduce energy consumption by purchasing supplementary green power. This will mean a 75 percent reduction of CO2 emissions in total.
