Questions & Answers
What is Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)?▼
ESG represents three core pillars for evaluating a company's performance in environmental protection (E), social responsibility (S), and corporate governance (G). According to the 'Sustainable Development Roadmap for TWSE/TPEx Listed Companies' by Taiwan's FSC, ESG guides enterprises to prioritize sustainable operations and integrate non-financial performance into risk management and investment decisions. It's a key framework for assessing long-term resilience and value creation.
Why is it important for Taiwanese companies?▼
Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) has mandated a phased-in requirement for all TWSE/TPEx listed companies to prepare and file sustainability reports. Furthermore, regulations like the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and global supply chain demands make ESG performance critical for securing orders and market access. Poor management can lead to supply chain exclusion, financing difficulties, or penalties under laws like the Climate Change Response Act.
Which ISO standards or international regulations are directly related?▼
ESG aligns with several international standards. The Environmental (E) pillar relates to ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), ISO 14064-1 (Greenhouse Gases), and ISO 50001 (Energy Management). The Social (S) pillar connects to ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety). The Governance (G) pillar is associated with ISO 37001 (Anti-bribery Management Systems) and ISO 37301 (Compliance Management Systems). These standards provide concrete frameworks for implementing and verifying ESG practices.
