ESG Trainings & Sustainable Environmental Education
ESG Trainings
Starting from 2020, Chunghwa Telecom has been actively promoting ESG education and trainings for suppliers, inviting numerous ESG experts and industry representatives to provide in-depth analysis of sustainable development concepts so as to enhance the sustainability capabilities of its suppliers.
In 2023, we held the "Supplier Sustainability Capability Assessment & Supply Chain Carbon Management and Training." with 130 representatives from key suppliers in attendance. The event featured internal and external experts, including professional ESG lecturers, as well as professional auditors and consultants from SGS and csrCommunity International Limited. The 4-hour ESG course not only informed the participants on the latest international sustainability trends and industry dynamics but also facilitated substantial support for ESG actions via interactions and exchanges, promoted sustainable development of the supply chain, and offered concrete support to the vast army of suppliers in their ESG endeavors.
Sustainable Environmental Education
In 2016, Chunghwa Telecom launched the first "sustainable environmental education" for suppliers. Each year, supplier partners will be taken to environmental education facilities for the education and trainings of "sustainable environmental education." The education not merely solidifies the environmental consensus throughout the supply chain but also boosts the momentum of overall sustainable development. "Supplier Partner ESG Education and Training" organized each year further deepens the sustainability/ESG understanding and concrete practices of the supplier partners.
In 2023, Mr. Di-Yao Jhan, Vice President of the Supply Department, Chunghwa Telecom, led the supplier partners to visit the Luo-Dong Water Resource Recycling Center, Yilan, and the Yilan Campus, Cardinal Tien Junior College of Healthcare and Management. They jointly explored topics such as renewable energy, local revitalization, water resources, and biodiversity. The symbiotic methods for coexistence between humans, water, and ecological resources were introduced to the participating supplier partners. Also, the practical cases of converting agricultural waste into high-quality products were discussed in depth. It not only deepened the cultural literacy of the technology professionals but also strengthened the determination of the sustainable supplier partners to move towards the goal of net-zero sustainability together.
Key Results
- 709 cumulative supplier partners involved in the Sustainable Environmental Education with 4,488 hours invested
- 780 cumulative supplier partners involved in the ESG education and trainings with 3,120 hours invested.
Sustainable Product and Service - Green Gold Workshop
The ever-evolving international trend of international supply chain sustainability management has shifted from focusing on suppliers’ “sustainability of organizations” to the “sustainability of products and services.” As a champion that is Always Ahead, Chunghwa Telecom organizes “Green Gold Workshop” to lead its vast army of supplier partners to incorporate ideas of sustainability and low carbon deeper into products and services. It not only assists supplier partners to keep up with the trends and goals of net-zero emissions but also further seeks to jointly explore the opportunities for “green gold.”
