Advance Notice of Call for Entry for 2016 Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards in Foreign Enterpri
In recent years major international companies face various kinds of different challenges one after another in sustainable operation. Things like climate change, insufficient raw material sources, localized human rights, social care are the factors affecting corporate sustainable operation tremendously. Therefore localized sustainable performance operation and integrating into Taiwan society have become the primary tasks Foreign Enterprises need for their development in Taiwan.
Starting from 2008, Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy has been promoting and hosting Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards (TCSA) for nine years in a row. TCSA is a platform for showing and exchanging corporate social responsibilities and has been a sustainability event with scale in Taiwan that receives attention and support from domestic companies.
In 2016 the Ninth Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards specifically praises excellent Foreign Enterprises in Taiwan for their efforts in devoting to local sustainability disclosure of implementation information to provide references for various interested parties or social responsibility investment and adds “Foreign Enterprises Category” to encourage companies to take part in the selection of corporate comprehensive performance. This award category gives foreign businesses a chance to show their sustainability performances in Taiwan that is conducive to developing human resources, creating a win win situation for Foreign Enterprises to gaining profit, local employment, economic and societal development as well as sustainable operation.
The organizer expressed that the selection of the awards would help businesses to elevate their competitive advantages, highlight core values and principles of sustainable environment in company operating strategies, show their efforts and results in areas like economy, environment and society, as well as the energy and opportunity of pursuing sustainable development together with society.
Because of this the organizer here invites excellent Foreign Enterprises to join the effort and take part in the event. Not only can this help a foreign company to publicize her excellent CSR performance, but also help to enhance the company's internal cohesion and go toward the state of true, good, and beautiful as a whole. To the outside, it is even an ultimate manifestation of the company's brand value. Through the awards, a company can even review its own sustainability performance and use benchmark learning to keep elevating itself.
It is the hope of TCSA that through more involvement from the public and businesses, the importance of corporate sustainable operation could be understood and we wish it could encourage more companies to devote themselves to promotion of corporate sustainability and working together to contribute to Taiwan's development and creating a sustainable future together.
