Taiwan currently faces daunting challenges amid the evolving global political–economic landscape and the demands posed by low-carbon transition. In 2025, the Risk Society and Policy Research Center at National Taiwan University conducted the Fourth Corporate Sustainability Disclosure Readiness Survey. Building on the Climate-related Financial Disclosures corporate survey framework applied over the past three years, the scope of this latest survey was further expanded to include aspects such as climate disclosure, labor rights, and human rights due diligence, with the aim of examining the sustainability disclosure practices and readiness of companies following the announcement of the carbon fee policies. We hereby invite all stakeholders to review the survey findings and jointly drive Taiwan's progress toward a transition to sustainability that is equitable and resilient.
