Across Taiwan’s corporate landscape, sustainability is no longer just a buzzword—it is the new standard of business. Following the landmark transformation of Taiwan’s traditional Corporate Governance Evaluation into the broader ESG Evaluation earlier this year, the rules of the game are evolving once again. To ensure local enterprises don't just keep up, but lead the charge, the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) and the Taipei Exchange (TPEx) are hitting the road.

Starting November 23, 2026, the two exchanges will host a five-part educational tour across Taipei, Hsinchu, Taichung, and Kaohsiung, offering listed companies an inside look at the upcoming second edition of the ESG Evaluation.

When the framework expanded in 2026 to weigh environmental and social impacts alongside corporate governance, it marked a major shift in how market value is measured. Now, shaped by shifting global standards, updated regulations, and direct feedback from market stakeholders, the 2027 playbook has been fine-tuned. 

The updated framework features 72 total indicators—adding one new benchmark, retiring four outdated ones, revising eleven, and recalibrating several others to better reflect modern sustainability priorities.

Rather than leaving companies to decipher these updates alone, the upcoming sessions are designed as a practical roadmap.

 

Using real-world examples, specialists will walk participants through the revised scoring criteria before diving into the bigger picture: how to navigate new ESG disclosure policies, leverage the "Power UpTW" program, and turn good governance into a compelling story for global investors. Adding to the lineup, Taiwan Index Plus Corporation will take the stage to introduce its new Sustainability Evaluation and Investor Relations Engagement platform, showing companies how high ESG scores can directly translate into stronger market engagement.

The stakes—and the timeline—are clear. The 2027 evaluation window officially opens on January 1, 2027, running through the end of the year, with final scores set to be unveiled in April 2028.

For corporate leaders looking to get a head start, time is running short. Seats for the five regional sessions are filling up fast. Registration remains open through the Securities and Futures Institute website until November 18, 2026—or until capacity is reached—giving companies one final window to secure their spot before the tour begins.
