As leaders in Asia's energy and environmental sectors, CPC and Apollo embody Taiwan's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Established in 1946, CPC Corporation, Taiwan's largest state-owned petroleum company, has been at the forefront of transitioning to renewable energy sources and sustainable practices. Apollo Technology, an innovator in water and waste management, specialises in transforming industrial by-products into valuable resources through a circular economy approach. Their partnership strengthens Taiwan's journey toward a greener future, showcasing how collaboration can drive meaningful environmental change.

In alignment with Taiwan's Green and Sustainable Remediation (GSR) initiative, CPC has integrated green practices in site remediation since 2008. In collaboration with Apollo, they have launched remediation projects at key sites, such as the Hsinchu and Taichung Oil Distribution Centers. Apollo's advanced soil and groundwater remediation techniques aim to restore ecological balance and ensure the sites' long-term sustainability, benefiting both local communities and natural habitats.

Apollo's expertise in sustainable remediation has already delivered substantial results. At the Hsinchu Oil Distribution Centre, the company successfully treated over 43,200 tonnes of oil-contaminated soil and reduced 848 tonnes of carbon emissions through bioremediation and in-situ groundwater systems. Their work enables CPC to identify high-priority remediation sites and apply innovative solutions like phytoremediation, which uses specific plants to extract pollutants from soil and groundwater.

This award reflects CPC Corporation, Taiwan, and Apollo Technology's unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable industrial practices. The Top Green Companies is awarded to companies that run their business operations yielding minimal negative impact on the environment, community, and society.
