Why the Sustainability Award?
Sustainability — also known as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), ESG, or Responsible Business — has evolved into a cornerstone of long-term business resilience and purpose. Once viewed primarily as philanthropic effort, it now represents a company’s commitment to future-proofing operations, building stakeholder trust, and actively contributing to the planet’s wellbeing.
Today, employees, investors, and consumers increasingly expect businesses to take a proactive role in addressing climate change, resource use, and social impact. A strong sustainability strategy is not only a driver of brand value and competitive advantage — it’s a vital element in attracting top talent, building meaningful partnerships, and creating long-term, scalable impact.
The Sustainability Award recognises a company operating in Taiwan that demonstrates excellence, innovation, and integration in its sustainability journey. This includes not only standalone initiatives, but also how sustainability is embedded into business strategy, operational processes, and decision-making frameworks. We are especially interested in organisations that show tangible outcomes for people, communities, ecosystems, and supply chains.
This year, the award is proudly sponsored by Cadeler, a key player in the offshore wind industry and a strong advocate for the global energy transition. Cadeler delivers offshore wind installation solutions that support the world’s shift toward decarbonisation. With a commitment to innovation, safety, and environmental stewardship, Cadeler partners with industry leaders to build a cleaner and more resilient energy future. Their sponsorship reflects the importance of engineering sustainability into every level of business — from strategy to execution.
We welcome submissions from companies of all sizes and across all industries. Whether you're enabling low-carbon technologies, building circular systems, or empowering communities through sustainable practices, this is your opportunity to share your leadership and impact.
