The Taiwan Stock Exchange will conduct the online educational sessions of the 2023 Corporate Governance Evaluation from March 1 to March 15, 2023. The sessions include an introduction to Corporate Governance Evaluation, the amendments of corporate governance regulations, and an introduction to ESG information disclosure, with the goal of supporting listed companies to implement corporate governance and enhance enterprises’ sustainable development.

The revisions to the 2023 Corporate Governance Evaluation are made with reference to the "Corporate Governance 3.0 - Sustainable Development Roadmap" and "Taiwan Capital Market Roadmap," foreign corporate governance and development trends, the latest domestic amendments to the statutes and policies as well as the feedback collected to continuingly enhance the evaluation standards. Eight indicators were added; six indicators were deleted; 18 indicators were revised; and four indicators types were adjusted to promote corporate governance excellence among all companies. The educational sessions will explain the main revisions of the evaluation indicators, and scoring guidelines through examples. The sessions also provide specific topics regarding the recent modifications to the regulations of corporate governance, and the ESG disclosure measures. Our purpose is to assist listed companies to understand the contents and prepare in advance. 

Since the implementation of the Corporate Governance Evaluation from 2014, the evaluation indicators, scoring methods and evaluation results have been increasingly valued by listed companies. More and more enterprises are following the indicators and have adopted various effective corporate governance measures, leading the overall market to emphasize the culture of corporate governance and sustainable development. Holding educational sessions online through the TWSE WebPro Website offers more flexibility for listed companies. There will be questionnaires to gather participants’ feedback.

All listed companies are invited to watch the videos on https://webpro.twse.com.tw/webportal/vod/115/?categoryId=150 or by visiting the TWSE WebPro website and choosing “Corporate Governance.” For the course handouts, please visit the website of the Corporate Governance Center (https://cgc.twse.com.tw/evaluationCorp/listCh) to download from February 24 onward.
