When talking about TISCO green development practices, Mr. Li Xiaobo said, in recent years, by taking idea innovation as guidance, technology innovation and management innovation as support, TISCO insists on the green development, realizing harmonious development between inland steel company and provincial capital city. The main methods of TISCO including the following five aspects:
To understand the development between steel company and society by harmonious ideas. We think, steel company is one part of the society, which has countless ties with the city where it is. Moving out is not the optimal solution to solve the contradiction between steel company, city and social development, is not, and is even no realistic choice for the less-developed regions, steel enterprises should use the latest achievements of modern science and technology to solve the pollution problems. As the whole society, it must take the development standpoint to recognize and resolve the contradiction between steel company, city, and society. As a steel company, it must consciously take measures, establish higher energy conservation and environmental protection standard, actively increase energy conservation and environmental protection investment at advance, to realize green development; must fulfill the function of steel company to service for cities and society; must strive for excellent environmental performance to return society, and visually and truly show to the public to enhance the understanding and promote harmony. We definitely put forward to insist on the green development road and make energy saving and emission reduction and recycling economy become new development mode, new benefit growth point and competitiveness for TISCO, to construct demonstration company of energy saving and emission reduction and recycling economy in metallurgical industry with full efforts, to build TISCO as a truly urban steel company which can create value, with responsibility, respectability and green development.
To drive energy conservation and environmental protection of enterprise by independent innovation. Driving by both management innovation and technology innovation, TISCO accelerates the realization of environmental-friendly process equipment and manufacturing process. In the management innovation, by setting the excellence steel companies from home and aboard as examples, TISCO establishes standardization system with green development. Bring the energy-saving environmental protection performance into evaluation of economic responsibility system, TISCO realizes to link together closely with whole process and common economic interests; by implement 4 levels (company, factory, process, equipment) energy index management, TISCO promote the level of energy-saving delicacy management. In the technology innovation, by always tracking international advanced technology and aiming at the top level, TISCO accelerates the integrated innovation and upgrading of process, technology and equipment, and has built a stainless steel production line which is the world's largest in scale and highest standards in technological equipment. Meanwhile, with investment of 8.2 billion Yuan, and on the basis of independent innovation, TISCO implements 87 pieces of energy-saving emission-cutting and circulation economic projects, by taking the lead in applying and popularizing the world most advanced energy-saving technology at home, realizes the high-efficiency comprehensive utilization of wastewater, waste acid, waste gas, waste residues, excess heat and excess pressure. TISCO input 500 million Yuan to company environment renovation and greening.
