MVC's Framework for Sustainable Development

Among our many initiatives, the reduction in greehouse gases emission is one of the company’s contributions to addressing climate change. We monitor our CO2 emissions and have implemented strategies for its reduction. These strategies are included in other plans such as energy conservation.

The total annual CO2 emission has been greatly reduced since 2000. This was mainly due to the conversion of the Diaphragm Cell Plant (DCP) to an Ion Exchange Membrane Plant (IEM), which has lower steam consumption due to the production of higher concentration cell liquor caustic soda from the electrolyzers.

The figure below shows the decreasing trend of CO2 emissions from 2002 to 2008.
