In the speech of chairman Young Ku, he mentioned that TCSA has been held for 13 years since 2008. In order to expand public participation and sustainability awareness, TCSA has recruited sustainability volunteer judges for preliminary selections of the sustainability reports and the comprehensive performance since 2015. As long as the recruits are interested in and enthusiastic about CSR, they are all welcome to join the volunteer judge group. After 5 years of hard work, so far there are 1,217 qualified volunteer judges, which has exceeded the target of recruiting 1,000 judges by 2020, showing that people are paying more and more attention to sustainable development issues. Finally, chairman Young Ku said that the foundation will provide retraining courses for volunteer judges annually, giving them the latest and most incisive sustainable knowledge and professional courses. It is hoped that through this platform, volunteers and the foundation can grow together for Taiwan’s sustainable development.
