The energy transition and continuous development of renewable energy are pressing issues. Given this, the question of how to create a favorable environment for green energy development and assist businesses in implementing compliance has become a key concern for every sector. Today (July 17th), Taipower held an enterprise integrity forum on green energy development, to which Taipower invited key public and private organizations involved in green energy development. These included the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, as well as the District Prosecutors’ Offices of Taipei and New Taipei City. The forum focused on cross-sector exchanges on topics such as streamlining government services in line with the energy transition, green energy-related crimes, whistleblower protections, and corporate ethical management. The forum was focused on collaboration to prevent green energy crimes and promoting sustainable development and operations, for industry and enterprises alike.

Taipower held the "Power ESG: New Opportunities in Green Energy" Enterprise Integrity Forum at its Southern Taipei Branch Office in Banqiao, New Taipei City. The opening remarks were delivered by Taipower Chairman Tseng Wen-Sheng. Other participants included Minister of Economic Affairs Kuo Jyh-Hui, Minister of Justice Cheng Ming-Chien, representatives from green energy industry development organizations, and corporate representatives.

At the forum, Taiwan Cement Corporation's Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer Yeh Yu-Jun shared the company’s experience in the green energy transition and sustainable development. Prosecutors from the Taipei and New Taipei District Prosecutors’ Offices explained how to prevent green energy-related crimes, and clarified the differences between green energy development for public benefit and that for personal gain. The Ministry of Justice's Agency Against Corruption also introduced the whistleblower protection system. Following this, a comprehensive discussion on the theme of sustainable green energy development was held, moderated by Taipower Vice President Wang Jenn-Yeong, with representatives from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the Financial Supervisory Commission, and the Taiwan Shilin District Prosecutors’ Office participating in the discussions.

A Taipower representative stated that, in order to provide an effective communication channel for businesses, the Ministry of Economic Affairs established the Enterprise Service Integrity Platform in 2022. As one of the promoting agencies for the Platform, Taipower organized this forum. Through cross-sector exchanges, the forum aids understanding of the challenges and difficulties faced by businesses in the green energy development process and the assistance they need. Moving forward, Taipower will use this information to implement streamlined government services, improve administrative efficiency, help prevent green energy-related crimes, and promote sustainable development and operations for industry and enterprises alike.
