01. What is this Hackathon about?
We are looking for innovative solutions to enhance corporate transparency in ESG practices and green marketing.
In accordance with the global pledge to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) has required all listed companies in Taiwan to publish sustainability reports by 2025 and lay out roadmaps to reach net zero [1].
With anti-greenwashing and green supply chain laws coming into place [2], how can we help Taiwanese corporations be more transparent and authentic in their ESG reporting to reduce their environmental impact and remain competitive in the global market?
