Recently, the USI Group was invited by the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy (TAISE) to participate in the “CSR Café” forum, where sustainability experts including Gu, Yang, Zhou, Li-Fang, Shen, Yong-Shun, and Guo, Cai-Ji discussed the transformation trends of the 2026 ESG evaluation. With the restructuring of the evaluation framework, the environmental aspect (E) will increase its weighting to 20%, and new key indicators such as biodiversity and natural carbon sinks will be introduced.
Experts emphasized that the key to scoring in biodiversity lies in "formulating clear policies" and "disclosing concrete implementation results". The USI Group is actively referencing the TNFD framework and the LEAP methodology (Locate, Evaluate, Assess, Prepare) to systematically identify the dependencies and impacts of its operating sites on nature, internalizing these management mechanisms into its existing environmental systems.
During the event, USI Group shared several sustainability highlights: The “Solar Power Combined with Mushroom Cultivation” project in Nantou utilizes modern facilities to support mushroom farmers, successfully realizing local revitalization and corporate social responsibility. This exchange has enhanced USI Group’s understanding of the new indicators, and moving forward, the company will continue to implement scientific-based sustainability actions, advancing from compliance to leadership, and fulfilling its long-term commitment to the environment.
