Unveiling Taiwan’s CBAM: Carbon Fees Begin in 2026 — These Industries Must File First!

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) was first introduced by the European Union in 2021 to impose carbon tariffs on high-emission imports, aiming to prevent carbon leakage and safeguard fair competition for domestic industries. While Taiwan’s version of CBAM has yet to be officially named, joint announcements and policy planning by the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Environment, and other agencies in 2024 have outlined its framework. It is now taking shape as a key carbon-cost mechanism scheduled to roll out between 2026 and 2027.

Supply Chain ESG Audits: A Comprehensive Strategy from Board Governance to Financial Implementation

Amid increasingly stringent global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) regulations, supply chains are no longer just a matter for procurement departments but have become one of the core risks directly influencing board-level decisions. With IFRS S1 and S2, along with the EU’s CSRD, imposing higher transparency requirements on “supply chain disclosures,” supply chain audits have been elevated to a governance issue, directly tied to corporate financial reporting and market credibility. This means companies must not only monitor supplier compliance and ESG performance but also ensure that every piece of supply chain–related data is integrated into their financial systems and can withstand third-party audits.

New ESG Risk Trends in Taiwan 2025: From Climate Change to Natural Capital

The year 2025 will mark a new watershed for Taiwanese companies in disclosing ESG risks. While many firms have already begun addressing issues such as carbon emissions and energy use, global trends indicate that focusing solely on single environmental topics is no longer sufficient to meet broader sustainability requirements.
According to the latest insights from the Big Four accounting firms and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), natural capital, biodiversity, and water security are rapidly emerging as new focal points in ESG-related financial risk assessments.

Key Strategies for Integrating Tax and ESG: Navigating Carbon Pricing, Tax Incentives, and Green Subsidies

As global sustainability regulations continue to tighten, carbon fees, carbon taxes, green subsidies, and tax incentives have become more than just environmental issues—they are now central to corporate strategy and financial planning.
Traditionally, tax management focused on minimizing tax liabilities and ensuring compliance. However, in the era of net-zero and responsible investing, taxation is no longer merely a cost—it has become a powerful lever to support ESG goals.

Pitfalls in ESG Reporting? How to Ensure Safety through Proper CSRD Controls and Audits

With the implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) in the EU, companies around the world are facing the most stringent ESG disclosure requirements in history. According to EU regulations, starting in 2024, the first batch of large listed companies must prepare sustainability reports in accordance with the ESRS and undergo limited assurance by a third party.
Many Taiwanese companies, even if not directly subject to CSRD, are required to enhance their ESG controls and internal audit standards due to their roles in global supply chains and investor expectations, ensuring data reliability, transparency, and alignment with international norms.

Have You Budgeted for ESG? Practical Advice on Three Major Cost Items for 2025

As ESG becomes central to business operations, Taiwan’s regulations will take another step forward in 2025. From carbon fees and sustainability disclosures to cross-department collaboration, finance departments must plan and allocate related budgets in advance. In the past, many companies saw ESG as an additional burden, which led to reports and frameworks that were merely procedural. However, the next wave of policy trends is gradually turning ESG into a quantifiable cost, an institutionalized process, and a subject of scrutiny. With new requirements — from listed company disclosure rules and carbon fee collections to sustainability-linked financial ratings — companies that fail to plan ESG spending early may face rising costs, higher capital expenses, or be rated as high-risk suppliers.

Green Bonds and Corporate Sustainability Competitiveness: Is Your ESG Finance Ready?

Financial instruments are steadily becoming a vital channel for global ESG financing. They also place higher demands on companies to ensure transparency in financial reporting and the maturity of their internal systems. In Taiwan, the Financial Supervisory Commission continues to promote the Green Finance Action Plan 3.0, encouraging financial institutions to develop sustainable financial products and support businesses in their sustainability transitions.
For companies, green bonds are not just a funding tool — they are also a public testament to their commitment to sustainability and their financial credibility.

The ESG Clues Hidden in Your Tax Forms: What Your Reported Expenses Reveal

As sustainability disclosure moves into the audit-ready IFRS S1/S2 framework, more companies are beginning to realize that ESG is no longer just a “report-writing task” for the annual report. Instead, it is a systemic challenge where auditors cross-check line by line. Every expense classification, invoice, and depreciation entry in a company’s financial statements becomes a verifiable basis for ESG reporting.

CBAM Delay Doesn’t Mean Safety: Carbon Tariff Risks and Action Checklist for Taiwanese Companies

Although there is talk of a possible delay in the implementation of CBAM, companies cannot overlook the compliance pressure and systemic transformation it represents. Export-oriented industries, in particular, will face rising customs and tax reporting costs if their supply chain carbon data and accounting systems are not yet aligned—and they may lose their competitive edge in international markets.

From Carbon Footprint to Asset Impairment: How Finance Teams Can Use IFRS S2 for Climate Risk Early Warning

With the official release of IFRS S2 “Climate-related Disclosures,” companies are no longer just expected to report on ESG initiatives—they are now required to specifically disclose the impacts of climate change on their financial statements.
Two key disclosure obligations closely tied to finance and accounting teams are: the impact of climate risk scenarios on asset impairments, and the integration of carbon costs and policy risk factors into cash flow forecasts. However, many companies have yet to realize that conducting this level of financial risk analysis hinges on having institutionalized carbon footprint data. Without credible emissions data and climate parameters, it becomes impossible to build impairment models or support the disclosures in financial statement notes, ultimately leading to trust risks and audit challenges.

From Trump’s Withdrawal from the Paris Agreement: How Financial and Accounting Systems Can Anticipate “Disclosure Risks” and “Compliance Costs”

On January 20, 2025, U.S. President Trump announced the country’s renewed withdrawal from the Paris Agreement. This declaration has once again heightened international sensitivities around climate commitments and disclosure policies. What companies now face is not just shifting international policies, but the real risk of fragmentation in ESG disclosure logic and standards.
While the EU continues to tighten disclosure requirements, the U.S. may move in the opposite direction, easing regulations. Without stable internal systems, companies will struggle to cope with these external shifts.
In this climate of global disclosure uncertainty, what companies need most is not more reporting templates, but a proactive early warning mechanism and a solid institutional foundation led by the finance and accounting teams.

How Should Companies Build ESG Internal Controls? A Three-Line Defense Starting with Finance & Accounting

As sustainability disclosure regulations become increasingly stringent, ESG reporting is no longer “just about writing a good report.” It has evolved into a critical foundation for corporate integrity and risk management. In Taiwan, both the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) and the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation（TWSE) have recently made it clear that companies are expected to establish internal control mechanisms for sustainability information—to ensure accuracy and consistency in ESG disclosures. However, in practice, many companies still struggle with one key question: Where do we begin when building an effective ESG internal control system?
