Cultivating Engineering Talents & Passing the Torch of Corporate Sustainability
CTCI EF & TAISE co-founded the Taiwan Sustainability Guildhall

As the global trend of corporate sustainability rapidly develops, CTCI Education Foundation (CTCI EF) and Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy (TAISE) co-founded the Taiwan Sustainability Guildhall and held an opening ceremony on April 20, 2017. Through cooperation, we hope to promote the knowledge, experience, and innovative initiatives on corporate sustainability issues such as sustainable engineering and sustainable energy as well as establishing a firm foundation for friendly exchanges and mutual prosperity between industry, government, and academia.

CTCI Group Chairman John Yu stated that, CTCI is one of Taiwan's exemplars as an international engineering company. Their mission is to be the locomotive in promoting sustainable engineering both domestically and abroad. Moreover, CTCI focuses on and ensures the implementation of corporate social responsibility practices through engineering, the company's core strength. In 2016 CTCI founded the CTCI Education Foundation. The aim is to raise educational standards, cultivate outstanding talent, provide incentives for academic research, build an environment which encourages lifelong learning, and improve Taiwan's competitive edge. Over the years CTCI has accumulated abundant experience and knowledge in the field of engineering both domestically and abroad. They hope to pass on their legacy to make their contributions to education and public welfare.

Eugene Chien, Chairman of CTCI EF and TAISE, stated that, to respond to the global sustainability trend, Taiwan Sustainability Guildhall will use the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) passed by the U.N. in 2016 and relevant actions as its core values. Also, the Guildhall will actively collaborate with companies, industries, think tanks, and government agencies to lead the trend of sustainable development in Taiwan, facilitate cross-strait and international exchanges, and nurture professional talent in the field of sustainability to realize the vision of a sustainable future in Taiwan.
