Business Weekly Group published the survey result of Taiwan top 100 companies with the most carbon competitiveness at the Carbon Competitiveness Summit 2023 held on Nov. 17.
According to the survey, 73% of the top 100 companies saw higher share prices than their counterparts.
Carbon reduction will become the most competitiveness edge in the next 20 years, and the more emissions companies reduce, the more profits it will generate, said Business Weekly’ chief writer Lu Kuo-chen (呂國禎) at the summit.
Quite a few leading Taiwanese companies have tapped into the carbon business, introducing products such as carbon neutral laptop, low-carbon cement, and low-caron steel, as well as innovative business models to drive carbon neutrality, Lu said.
