Taiwan boasts a sophisticated market economy, distinguished by a thriving technology sector, strong connections to international markets, and a lively landscape of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This environment has created a dynamic foundation for the development of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices. Understanding the trends and practices in Taiwan’s CSR efforts offers valuable insights for stakeholders across the region.
This report, developed in collaboration with Taiwan’s leading media outlet, CommonWealth Magazine, investigates CSR trends and practices in Taiwan, with a focus on companies recognized by the prestigious Sustainable Citizenship Award from 2007 to 2023. Drawing on 17 years of longitudinal data, the report reveals how Taiwanese companies are embedding CSR into their business strategies, consistently exceeding regulatory requirements, prioritizing environmental sustainability, and contributing to broader global sustainability goals.
Taiwan’s ability to integrate CSR into its economic framework offers valuable lessons for other Asian economies striving for sustainable development. As Taiwan’s CSR landscape continues to evolve, it is poised to drive innovations and practices. Its forward-thinking approach and successful policies offer a blueprint for balancing economic growth with environmental and social stewardship, providing a model for sustainable development across the region.
台灣擁有發達的市場經濟和穩健的全球貿易連結，科技產業蓬勃發展，而當地的中小型企業（SMEs）亦充滿活力。這種環境為企業社會責任（CSR）實踐的發展奠定了基礎。瞭解台灣企業社會責任工作的趨勢和實踐，可以為整個亞洲地區的利益相關者提供寶貴的見解。
本報告與台灣《天下雜誌》合作開展，基於2007 年至 2023 年間獲得「天下永續公民獎」的企業樣本數據，深入分析了台灣CSR的發展趨勢與特徵。通過對過往 17 年間的縱向資料進行質性和量化分析，報告揭示了台灣企業逐步將CSR融入其經營戰略，在實踐上超越法規要求、聚焦環境因素，並為更廣泛的全球永續發展目標做出貢獻。
台灣將CSR融入經濟和業務發展的策略，為其他致力於永續發展的亞洲經濟體提供了寶貴的經驗。隨著台灣CSR的持續演進，台灣也在不斷推動新的創新與實踐。這種具有前瞻性的思維模式與政策框架，成爲了當地平衡經濟成長與社會環境治理的藍圖，也為整個區域的永續發展提供了範本。
