Fuel Energy Management

Sabina Public Company Limited places great importance on the management of fuel energy consumption resulting from its business operations. Our goal is to enhance energy efficiency, reduce logistics costs, and minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions arising from fuel usage—a significant contributor to our Scope 1 (Direct Emissions).

In alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 13: Climate Action), the company is committed to implementing fuel consumption control measures and developing innovative logistics solutions that effectively reduce fuel dependency.

Operational Goals For 2025

Short-Term Targets (2025)
  • Reduce Scope 1 GHG Emissions: Achieve a reduction of more than 3%, or not exceeding 934 tCO2e, compared to 2024 levels.
  • Carbon Intensity Control: Limit GHG emissions per unit produced to no more than 0.0420 kgCO2e/unit sold.
  • Seasonal Fuel Reduction: Reduce fuel consumption in logistics by at least 10% during January–March to mitigate air pollution (PM2.5) during the haze season.
Medium and Long-Term Targets
  • By 2030: Reduce Scope 1 emissions to no more than 552 tCO2e (a 42% reduction from the 2023 base year).
  • By 2065: Reduce emissions to 96 tCO2e, representing a reduction of approximately 90% from the base year.

Operational Guidelines

The Company develops fuel management strategies by optimizing logistics and production systems to enhance energy efficiency and reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.

1. Logistics System Optimization

The Company has adopted a Holistic Logistics Strategy to manage product transportation, with a primary focus on reducing waste and inefficiencies throughout the process. Key initiatives include:

  • Milk Run Route Planning: Implementing "Milk Run" logistics to streamline collection and delivery, thereby reducing empty backhauls (running empty vehicles).
  • Backhaul Management: Consolidating the transport of raw materials and finished goods within a single trip to maximize vehicle utility.
  • Load Optimization: Improving cargo loading efficiency to ensure maximum vehicle capacity is utilized.
  • Effective Route Management: Enhancing overall transportation pathing to ensure the most fuel-efficient journeys.

These approaches have significantly contributed to reducing fuel consumption and mitigating Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from the organization’s logistics activities.

2. Enhancing Energy Efficiency in Production Processes

The Company has implemented stringent fuel consumption control measures within its production processes, including:

  • Smart Scheduling Optimizing production schedules by grouping dyeing processes by color to minimize machine changeover times and downtime.
  • Perfect Maintenance Enhancing machinery maintenance protocols to ensure complete combustion and peak energy efficiency.
  • Energy Transition Transitioning from Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to advanced heating systems to significantly reduce carbon emissions.
  • Monitoring & KPIs Continuously tracking and evaluating energy consumption and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions against established performance indicators.

"Zero Waste to Landfill" Management Strategy

SABINA manages donated lingerie through two primary channels to ensure that no waste is disposed of in landfills:

  • Waste-to-Energy (Thermal Recovery): Lingerie that is no longer fit for use is sent for disposal through a controlled, closed-loop thermal process. This converts waste into thermal energy for electricity generation, effectively serving as an alternative to coal.
  • Social Support (Re-use): ): Lingerie in good condition is meticulously sorted and donated to the Association for the Promotion of the Status of Women (Emergency Home) and female correctional facilities nationwide to assist underprivileged women.
Strategic Partnerships

The project’s success is driven by strong collaboration across our extensive network:

  • Collection Partners: Collaborating with leading department stores, real estate groups, and office buildings to increase the number of collection points, ensuring greater accessibility for consumers.
  • Disposal Partners: Partnering with Insee Ecocycle Co., Ltd. (Insee BCM) to manage the waste through a clean and environmentally safe thermal co-processing method.

Greenhouse Gas Emission Control

SABINA recognizes the critical importance of Climate Change and has integrated greenhouse gas management into its core corporate strategy through the following actions:

Compiling the Carbon Footprint for Organization (CFO) report.
Operating in accordance with international standards, including the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1.
Establishing a corporate-level Greenhouse Gas Management Committee.
Setting the long-term "SABINA Net Zero 2065" target.
