Achieving Sustainable Management: Building a Better Future for the People and the Environment
CPC has been loyally serving as a bridge between government and businesses to enhance productivity and competitiveness for 68 years since its establishment, while actively fulfilling its social responsibility by supporting domestic companies in achieving net zero and sustainable development. In response to sustainability issues, CPC signed the “Green Productivity Taipei Declaration” with member countries of the Asian Productivity Organization (APO) as early as 2012, upholding the principles of balance, growth, and coexistence to promote sustainable development, environmental protection, and social justice. CPC was approved by the APO Council as an APO Green Excellence Center in 2013 and promptly began actively connecting with productivity organizations across member countries to assist businesses in advancing green transition. CPC has established an independent GHG “Verification Office” after extensively researching the latest trends and relevant regulations concerning net-zero emissions in recent years.Additionally, CPC has developed an ESG blueprint of sustainability training to enhance its capabilities and effectively assist businesses in achieving shared growth with the industry and creating outstanding sustainability progress.
CPC has not neglected its own ESG sustainability strategy while supporting businesses in sustainable development. CPC has obtained the ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 quality and environmental management system certifications. Additionally, through its internal “ESG New Business Development Committee”, CPC reviews its business operations concerning the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and adheres to relevant standards, such as the GRI Standards, SASB Standards, and TCFD Framework. CPC has also published its own sustainability report and was awarded the “TCSA Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Award - Silver Award” in 2023.
Under the trends of sustainable development issues, 2050 Net Zero, the concept of corporate governance has been increasingly focusing on presenting ESG Performance. With the rising awareness of the #MeToo movement, as well as Gen Z and senior citizens joining the workforce, new workplace culture initiatives have become a global phenomenon, while DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) has gained significant momentum worldwide, becoming one of the mandatory focus for businesses. According to a McKinsey survey in 2020, companies with a more diverse employee background demonstrate a profit performance that is 12% higher compared to other companies.
It is evident that a company's future competitiveness is no longer limited to tangible assets but increasingly hinges on the demonstration of intangible assets, particularly in the capital of talents.However, sustainable business operations are fundamentally dependent on a high-quality corporate culture. In light of this, CPC published “The Footprints of Productivity” in 2023, which provides a detailed account of over 20 years of leadership and transformational evolution. This publication aims to help all CPC employees understand the organization's origins and future direction, thereby fostering a sense of belonging and perpetuating CPC's high-quality corporate culture. Subsequently, CPC established a 'Human Rights Commitment Policy' in 2024 to address critical issues including employee welfare, talent management, diversity in recruitment, gender equality, and the protection of digital rights, thereby implementing DEI principles into the corporate culture.
Going forward, CPC will continue to be the most steadfast partner for businesses on their journey toward sustainability, supporting them in achieving the vision of balance, growth, and coexistence.
