| Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility Forum |
|
| Date: 2008/06/25 |
|
| By: Lee and Li Foundation, College of Law, National Chengchi |
|
| Probing into views, theories and historical backgrounds of both positive and negative sides of corporate social responsibility will facilitate developments in the practices. Regardless of whether a company shall have social responsibility, in terms of legislation, the Company Law shall add more specific provisions with regard to corporate governance and mergers and acquisitions. Recently, there are many scandals regarding defalcation of big companies. When we observe Taiwan or Mainland China through American experience, we realize large-scale companies having social economic power have emerged, the merger era has come, therefore, maybe it is the time to face topic of corporate social responsibility. |

The Industrial Development Bureau of the MOEA has promoted clean production vigorously in recent years, helping enterprises to meet international environmental protection demands and pursue sustainable development. Thanks to the efforts of the governmental, industrial, and academic, and research sectors, concrete results have been achieved in the promotion of clean production in Taiwan. The Industrial Development Bureau organized this symposium to give the relevant sectors a chance to exchange information on their experiences, and results, in clean production.
The symposium included keynote speeches, paper presentations, poster presentations, briefings on the results of guidance work, and an exhibition of related technology and equipment.
