26 II.Constructing Taiwan’s ESG Ecosystem In response to the global trend of sustainability, the TWSE, as a market player, intends to construct an ESG ecosystem by pooling together the resources of various units, thereby making ESG an advantageous quality of Taiwanese enterprises in the competitive global market. The relevant measures are as follows: 1. Integrate the ESG information platform: The TWSE completed the ESG database on the Market Observation Post System (MOPS) website on June 30, 2022, serving as the foundation for the development of the ESG ecosystem. The TWSE plans to upgrade the database into a comprehensive ESG platform, an interactive user interface which integrates major ESG performances, information on ESG products, and related laws and regulations. 2. Establish an independent ESG evaluation: The ESG evaluation will be established based on international sustainability criteria and practice, with indicators which are distinguishable and comparable. The TWSE will continue to gather feedback from all sectors and encourage companies to disclose ESG information. 3. Assist in carbon inventory and disclosure: Under the TWSE’s guidance, 487 listed companies published their sustainability reports for the year 2021. To continue enhancing the quality of Taiwan’s non-financial information disclosure, the TWSE hosted related seminars and training courses to assist companies in conducting carbon inventory and disclosure, as well as in understanding the practical aspects and key procedures in the report writing process so as to enhance the quality of reporting. 4. Augment talent cultivation and investor relations: To build up an ESG talent pool, the TWSE will actively engage in talent cultivation. In addition, the TWSE will promote the development of investor relationships and enhance connections with institutional investors. 5. To promote major corporate governance measures, the TWSE cooperates with industry leaders and NGOs at home and abroad, working closely with ACGA, CDP, ICGN, GRI, OECD, and other international organizations to maximize Taiwan’s standards of corporate governance and global visibility.
