Questions & Answers

What is ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance)?

ESG represents three pillars of sustainable business evaluation: Environmental aspects include carbon emissions and energy efficiency; Social aspects cover labor rights and community relations; Governance focuses on board structure and risk management. It has become a crucial indicator for investors assessing long-term corporate value.

Why should Taiwanese companies prioritize ESG? What are the actual risks or regulatory pressures?

Taiwan faces international pressures like EU CBAM carbon border tax and RE100 renewable energy requirements, plus domestic regulations like FSC's Corporate Governance 3.0 and mandatory sustainability reporting. Neglecting ESG risks losing international orders, increased financing costs, and regulatory penalties, especially for export-oriented semiconductor and manufacturing industries.

Which ISO standards or international regulations are directly related to ESG?

ESG correlates with multiple international standards: Environmental aspects align with ISO 14001 environmental management and ISO 50001 energy management; Social aspects include ISO 45001 occupational safety and SA 8000 social accountability; Governance relates to ISO 31000 risk management and ISO 27001 information security, requiring systematic integration.
