Artificial intelligence has moved beyond laboratories into the daily operations of companies. Customer service responses, financial reconciliations, and supply chain monitoring are now increasingly reliant on algorithms. For both Taiwanese and Japanese enterprises, this wave is no longer just a technological option; it is a challenge that compels them to rethink governance structures and business models.

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.

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.

In 2016, Japan introduced the Society 5.0 policy framework in its 5th Science and Technology Basic Plan, aiming to deeply integrate cyberspace and physical space through AI, IoT, and big data to address societal issues such as aging populations and freque

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.

"I want to work abroad, but not too far from Asia." This sentiment has become increasingly common in Taiwanese job forums and career communities. Japan, once seen as a conservative choice, is now becoming a preferred destination for young Taiwanese with l

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 Supervisor

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.

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.

As the impact of climate change intensifies and sustainability issues attract greater attention, countries around the world are accelerating energy transitions and the pursuit of carbon neutrality. The European Union has introduced the Net-Zero Industry Act, the United States is advancing the Clean Competition Act, while in the Asia-Pacific region, Japan’s Green Growth Strategy and Taiwan’s Energy Transition Policy are driving efforts to develop green energy and environmental technologies.

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.

When Japanese and Taiwanese companies sit at the same table, language is no longer the biggest barrier. Yet misalignments often emerge—in project pacing, decision-making processes, and even interdepartmental coordination. In recent years, it's become common for Taiwanese companies to expand into Japan, and for Japanese companies to scale operations in Taiwan. Both sides are no longer strangers.
