ESG: Love the Globe & Make the Dough
In the first session of the Taiwan Environment for Good panel, discussions center around the concept of ESG: Environmental, Social, and (Corporate) Governance. PP Benson Liu and PP Sunny Huang provide global and Taiwanese context on the role of businesses as good stewards of society and the environment. Both share case studies on how businesses can promote sustainability and the circular economy, including on how cross-sector cooperation with government and academia can begin or move faster through Rotarian leadership of environmental initiatives.

A Global Grant Project on the Removal of Leucaena
Next, DG Apps Huang, provides more specificity on how we, and perhaps especially Rotarians, can bring these strategies to life. He highlights a Taiwanese Rotary initiative funded through Rotary Foundation’s Global Grants, to conserve and restore native species along a ‘corridor’ to support the Forestry Bureau’s work – a project that also provides livelihood and abides by circular economy principles. By discussing Global Grant policies and guidelines, the session aims to encourage Rotary organizations to further create initiatives that solve environmental issues.
