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.

From Carbon Accounting to Joint System Building

Net-zero commitments and ESG regulations are becoming the shared language of global supply chains. In recent years, mechanisms such as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) have gradually taken effect, making carbon accounting, carbon certificates, and green procurement not just an added option, but a baseline requirement for any company that wishes to remain part of the global supply chain.

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?

Earth Day Special: How ESG Disclosures Help Companies Uncover Hidden Risks

April 22 marks Earth Day—a moment when businesses and society take a step back to reflect on their sustainability efforts. As we’re reminded of the urgency of climate and environmental issues, companies should also ask themselves: Is ESG disclosure merely a compliance checkbox, or a strategic tool to safeguard long-term resilience?
According to Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission’s 2023 “Sustainable Development Roadmap for Listed Companies 2.0” and the IFRS S2 climate-related disclosures standards taking effect in 2024, ESG reporting is no longer just about brand image or regulatory obligations. It is fast becoming a core component of a company’s risk management system.In this article, we’ll explore how ESG disclosures help companies identify emerging risks early on—shifting the mindset from passive compliance to proactive control.

The Era of Carbon Reporting: The Emerging Role of Accountants in Driving ESG Transformation!

Traditionally, financial reports have been the cornerstone for investors, financial institutions, and regulators to assess a company’s performance. However, with sustainability becoming a global priority, "non-financial indicators" —such as carbon emissions, environmental impact, and social responsibility—are increasingly recognized as critical factors in evaluating corporate value. Carbon reporting, including carbon footprint disclosures and sustainability reports, is emerging as a new standard for transparent and responsible business practices. In this evolving landscape, accountants—with their deep expertise in finance and compliance—are becoming key enablers of ESG implementation.
