From GRS Classroom to Practice: Critical Carbon Neutralization Actions at OTIZ



Global GHG emissions are on the rise. To tame the surge and reach net zero, the corporate community has a pivotal role to play, and seeking effective carbon management strategies is imperative. To achieve carbon neutrality, OTIZ has been engaging in low-carbon transition through the development of green products. In March 2023, the plant conducted the training, Carbon Neutrality Trends and Analysis, which covered the philosophy behind corporate sustainability and explored topics such as carbon footprints, product life cycle, recycled product certification as well as carbon trading schemes and carbon quota to strengthen employees’ environmental awareness and integrate corporate sustainability into development strategies.
In addition, to promote recycled materials and manage product carbon footprints, OTIZ held the Global Recycling Standard (GRS) training, a two-month online program with general courses based on the GRS knowledge that has been internalized within OTIZ. The program, which entails GRS background, overview, terminology and certification standards, was made available to the entire 1,270 employees at the plant. They underwent assessments after the training and achieved a 100% passing rate. Aside from increasing employees’ understanding of GRS, OTIZ also helps brands and consumers delve into factors influencing the selection of recycled materials, which is enhancing its brand image and competitiveness.
