CSRone, a Taiwanese think tank, has been a leading provider of sustainable business strategy solutions, and its efforts have been recognized by the international media outlet "Wealth & Finance International", which announced the winners of the "Ethical Finance Awards 2023" recently. CSRone with its professional coaching experience and influence over the years, became the first sustainability-focused coaching unit in Taiwan to receive the award of "Taiwan's Most Pioneering CSR Support Enterprise 2023". This not only demonstrates Taiwan's excellence in the sustainability consulting industry, but also showcases CSRone that offers outstanding solutions for corporate organizations.

Climate change and global warming have caused various impacts that are shared challenges for humanity. In recent years, crises such as energy shortage, food crisis, ecological destruction, geopolitics, and supply chain crisis have occurred frequently, making "sustainable development" the best way and opportunity for global enterprises and organizations to manage operational risks and develop new business models and markets. Financial institutions, which support the operation of the current and future global market system, play a crucial role in achieving climate transition.

To this end, Wealth & Finance International, is a quarterly global financial magazine which is circulated to over 67,000 professionals within the finance and investment marketplace. Annually, Wealth & Finance holds the "Ethical Finance Awards" to recognize enterprises and organizations that demonstrate "ethical leadership, innovation and influence" in finance and related industries. To ensure fairness and objectivity, the award selection process adopts a combination of public voting and expert review to decide the winners of the year. The industry scope covers fields such as banking, insurance, investment, financial planning and consulting units.

Sustainable finance aims to integrate and expand the sustainable ecosystem

Taiwan, a key player in the global supply chain, launched the "Green Finance Action Plan 3.0" in September 2022. This plan aims to accelerate the sustainable transformation of Taiwan's finance and related industries through five major points: "Carbon Inventory for Financial Institutions", "Climate Risk Management", "Development of Guidelines for Identifying Sustainable Economic Activities", "Promoting ESG and Climate-related Information Integration" and "Strengthening Sustainable Finance Professional Training". This plan responds to the expectations of the global capital market and various stakeholders for the performance of corporate organizations in sustainable management and ethics.

Taiwanese corporate organizations face increasingly stringent regulatory standards and operational pressures. They urgently need a "think tank" with rich knowledge and experience in ESG, covering environment, economy, and organizational management and governance, to provide appropriate business transformation strategies and solutions. CSRone, Taiwan's most influential sustainability consulting agency, has successfully accompanied dozens of well-known corporate organizations across industries such as finance, oil, chemical, medical, retail technology, etc. in Taiwan and Asia-Pacific on their journey to sustainability in the past few years. It has a complete risk issue identification and counseling system, as well as suitable methods and tools. It also helps to improve their quality of ESG information disclosure and achieve benefits in business strategy and goal setting.

"Sustainable and ethical finance are not issues exclusive to the financial industry but are the core anchors that drive all industries towards sustainable development goals." Richard Chen, director of CSRone pointed out that from a strategic consulting perspective, sustainable finance is not a single issue, but an integrated ecosystem built by financial institutions, corporate organizations, government agencies, and investors. By understanding the flow of capital, they formulate financial policies and regulations such as cash flow input and output and promote the business operation transformation of corporate organizations.

As a provider of "business strategy solutions" and "sustainable knowledge management", CSRone plays the role of "coach" in this integrated ecosystem. Through international and industry trend analysis, business and climate strategy goal setting, stakeholder consultation and other actions, it enables this system to operate more stably towards sustainable development goals.

"We are very honored to receive this international recognition, which is the best testimony to our commitment to sustainable strategy and consulting work over the past years." CSRone founder and general manager Gennie Yan said that sustainable finance has become an important proposition for the management of various organizations and enterprises, and one of the important ways to implement the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). "For CSRone, more and more challenging work has just begun." Gennie Yan promised that in the future, the consulting team of CSRone Sustainable Think Tank will continue to accompany more enterprises and organizations to join this global sustainable wave through the professional experience of "data-driven (Data driven)" and "value creation (impact create)" two aspects, creating greater social and commercial value.
