Chairman Ambassador Eugene Chien, the general convener of this award, expressed that in order to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the "Information Security Award" was specially added in the category of excellent enterprises, to encourage national firms to enhance their implementations of information security. The “USR Sustainability Plan Award” to facilitate universities and colleges to promote social responsibility practices and local placemaking. The “Hospital HSR Sustainability Plan Award” to affirm hospitals’ promotions of national and international medical care for the public and the elderly.
Chairman Ambassador Eugene Chien further stated that 289 companies will be participating in this award, and the annual total turnover ratio of the nation’s 2018 GDP is 112%. He is very pleased to see that many domestic companies have shown long-term and sustainable results through the TCSA, not only to upgrade their companies’ image, reputation and brand, but to simultaneously create new value for the company, strengthen the supply chain relationship, and to improve international competitiveness, so that the company can become the first choice for investment institutions and recent university graduate job seekers, and to finally firmly establish a position in the international market.
This year’s awards are divided into 4 categories: “Corporate Comprehensive Performance Award”, “Best Performance of Specific Category Award”, “Corporate Sustainability Report Award”, and “Outstanding Corporate Sustainability Professionals Award”, to ensure that the judging and selection are fair, honest and transparent.
The volunteer judge system has been established since 2016. In 2019, an impressive judging pool of 488 members sharing in the evaluation work, composed of 373 volunteer judges and 115 scholars and experts, has been reached in order to achieve certain objectivity.
The organizer invites domestic and foreign firms, hospitals and educational institutions to jointly expand and continue to promote CSR notions, to play a leading role and exert a positive influence on society, and move towards a sustainable and bright future; for more event information and volunteer judge assessment training plans, please visit the event's official website: tcsaward.org.tw or call 02-2768-2655 (Mr. Cheng).
