The Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards, known as the "Oscars of Corporate Sustainability", held their award ceremony today (December 11). Taipower stood out among 526 companies to win the Corporate Sustainability Report Platinum Award, as well as a Best Sustainability Practice Awards in Taiwan and a Creative Communication Leadership Award. Notably, Taipower has been recognized in the Sustainability Reporting category for 16 years in a row since 2009. This also marks the sixth time the Company has received the Platinum Award, the highest honor in the Energy Industry category. A Taipower representative stated that because electricity is a vital foundation for Taiwan’s livelihood and economic development, Taipower remains committed to ensuring both stable power supply and environmental sustainability.

For the 17th Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards in 2024, the individual performance awards were presented on November 20. Then, today, the award ceremony for the Sustainability Reporting and Comprehensive Sustainability Performance categories was held today at the Grand Hilai Taipei hotel. Department of Corporate Planning Director Kuo Chiu-Ying represented Taipower in accepting the prestigious awards from Eugene Chien, Chairman of the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy.

A Taipower representative pointed out that winning a Corporate Sustainability Report Platinum Award and a Best Sustainability Practice Awards ( Comprehensive Performance Category) this year highlights the Company’s outstanding achievements in three aspects – environmental sustainability, social inclusion, and corporate governance – and in thoroughly and transparently disclosing this information in the sustainability report. Taipower’s 2023 Sustainability Report outlines the Company’s comprehensive sustainability development plan, presenting five sustainability visions, ten strategic pathways, and initiatives corresponding to each. These efforts align with both the United Nations and Taiwan’s sustainable development goals (SDGs). This year, the report places even greater emphasis on disclosing information in key areas such as climate action, sustainable supply chain development, and ecological inclusion, showcasing Taipower’s concrete actions toward achieving sustainable operations.
In recent years, Taipower has continuously advanced renewable energy development, promoted modernization for low-carbon power generation, and adopted new energy technologies, steadily progressing toward the goal of net-zero emissions for the power sector. In addition, Taipower embraces the spirit of other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs), applying nature-based solutions to foster harmony between power infrastructure and ecological systems, and thus protecting biodiversity and the natural environment. Examples include using conservation efforts at the Yong'an Wetlands near the Hsinta Power Plant to create a Flying Bird Power Plant; and implementing a bat habitat relocation project at the Taixi Wind Plant.

A Taipower representative explained that this is the Company’s fifth time receiving the Creative Communication Leadership Award in the corporate governance category of the Sustainability Performance Awards. The Company has continued to promote popular science education on electricity through initiatives tailored to audiences of all ages. These initiatives include helping create the Taiwan Science Train and the Workplace Visitation Program for Youth; organizing the kW Design Award, Taiwan’s only electricity-themed design competition; and creating TAIPOWER D/S ONE, Taiwan’s first green energy-themed exhibition hall. Through these diverse, creative, interactive platforms, Taipower effectively connects knowledge of power to everyday life. In recognition of these efforts, Taipower was also honored with a Taiwan Sustainability Action Award at the 2024 SDG Asia this August.
