Principles Reporting This is the ninth issue of the annual Sustainability Report published by Taiwan Power Com- pany (Taipower). This year, the statistics and disclosures in the report have been compiled in ac- cordance with the “Core” option of the G4 Guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). This report has been verified by the British Standards Institution (BSI) Taiwan to ensure that the report meets the requirements of the Core Option of the GRI G4 Guidelines and the GRI Electric Utilities Sector Disclosures, as well as the accountability principle standards (APS) set forth in AA1000 (Type I Moderate Level). In response to changes in the external environment and in line with its long-term vision for the future energy development of Taiwan as well as the company’s own sustainable development, Taipower initiated a process of corporate renewal in 2013, designed to improve its overall busi- ness performance and strengthen its operating structure in the hope of creating a better future en- ergy system for Taiwan. Therefore, the Sustainability Report 2015 has “Change for Power” as its theme, and reidentifies the material aspects of the company’s operations. The report also presents the preliminary results of the organizational restructuring, which reflect the beginning of a trans- formation, and aims to help the public develop a fuller understanding of Taipower’s endeavors in developing itself as a sustainable enterprise. ◆ Period Covered by the Report From January 1 to December 31, 2014 (For the sake of complete disclosure and compa- rability, the report also includes some historical data.) ◆ Scope of the Report This report covers data and information regarding sustainability issues and achievements within the areas of management, social responsibility and environmental sustainability. ◆ Inquiries The complete report (in the PDF format) can be downloaded from Taipower’s website (http://www.taipower.com.tw/). In addition, Taipower has a dedicated section on Sustainable Development (http://csr.taipower.com.tw) on its website, which functions as a platform to com- municate with stakeholders about its performance on sustainability issues. The Information Dis- closure section of Taipower’s website contains information related to this report and statistical data from the past years. We will be very glad if you have any feedback regarding Taipower’s Sustainability Report. This will enable us to better meet your requirements to publish the next Sustainability Report in the third quarter of 2016.

At Taipower, everyone’s cost-consciousness was reinforced, which drove us to activate assets, reduce capital expenditure, lower fuel inventory levels, shorten repair times, refine our generation scheduling system, and much more. All these economical measures contributed to turn the Chairman Statement from our company figures black again, and engendered outstanding results in many aspects of our op- erating performance. Taipower’s energy sales reached 205,956 GWh in 2014, 2% up from 2013, putting an end to eight consecutive yearly losses. Even after passing TWD 9.4 billion of softer fuel prices on to the general public, we still concluded the year with a TWD 14.1 billion surplus, in contrast with a TWD 17.8 billion deficit the year before, a substantial increase of TWD 31.9 billion in operating results. Even though by the end of 2014 accumulated losses still totaled TWD 193.5 billion, the transfor- mation of our management resulted in stellar performance, as we step out of the woods and unto greener pastures. In 2014, Taipower improved economic, environmental and social aspects of sustainable business, such as: ● In terms of management performance, the thermal efficiency of our fossil-fired power plants (gross Lower Heating Value) reached 43.35%, the line loss rate dropped to 4.09%, and the SAIDI diminished to 17.496 (min./cus./Yr.) — all new records for our company. Nuclear power generation capacity posted 40.8 TWh, with a capacity factor of 93.75%, and not a single emergency shutdown at the six generators in our nuclear power plants, which were excellent results indeed. ● Our many efforts to ensure a steady supply of fuel for power generation resulted in permission for autonomously purchasing natural gas from abroad, and also in the establishment of a “natural gas business performance task force” within the Ministry of Economic Affairs, which will benefit the transparency of natural gas cost data. ● In line with the Pilot Program for Voluntary Purchase of Green Power of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, our company prepared a green power subscription plan. Moreover, building a green power information management system, actively promoting the service, and highlighting the company’s energy saving and love for the earth enable Taipower to enhance its image as a responsible corporate citizen. ● To improve its customer service, Taipower complemented its telephone hotline 1911 with additional online services, such as blackout updates and queries page on its website, offering more options to obtain information on power outages. ● As part of the Light of Love program, we invited villages around power plants to join the Unique Feature for each township program to promote local industrial development and improve local living standards. We also pushed the Project to Support the Beautification of Areas Surrounding Power Plants to enhance the company’s corporate image and good neighborship. 02 03 Statement from the Chairman ● In 2014, our performance again received recognition through numerous awards. Internationally, Taipower received four awards in the Asian Power Awards. In the Getting Electricity Index in Doing Business 2015, released by the World Bank, Taiwan ranked no.2 among 189 economic entities worldwide. Domestically, Taipower received an award of engineering excellence in the 14th Public Works Gold Medal Awards. Taipower’s Sustainability Report 2014 was honored with the Large Enterprises Service Gold Award and the Innovation and Growth Award, both from the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy. Looking to the future, Taipower will continue improving and reforming matters of concern to stakeholders, especially the following: 1. Enhancing Information Disclosure The Information Disclosure section of the Taipower website continuously releases the status of 23 parameters, such as power generation, power supply and demand, pricing, etc. In addition, as of April 2014, Taipower’s new tariff formulas are listed in the Electricity Tariff Sched- ule section. In the future, even more operational information and performance indicators will be added.

I argue that this exhibition and related Taiwan-Canada state Aboriginal exchanges

  • 2016-2017 CCKF Annual Report
    2016-2017 INTRODUCTION The Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange (the Foundation) was established in 1989 in memory of the outstanding achievements of the late President of the Republic of China, Chiang Ching- kuo (1910-1988). The Foundation’s mission is to promote the study of Chinese culture and society, as well as enhance international scholarly exchange. Its principal work is to award grants and fellowships to institutions and individuals conducting Sinological and Taiwan-related research, thereby adding new life to Chinese cultural traditions while also assuming responsibility for the further development of human civilization. Operational funds supporting the Foundation’s activities derive from interest generated from an endowment donated by both the public and private sectors. As of June 1, 2017, the size of this endowment totaled NT$3.62 billion. The Foundation is governed by its Board of Directors (consisting of between 15 and 21 Board Members), as well as 3 Supervisors. Our central headquarters is located in Taipei, Taiwan, with a regional office near Washington D.C. in McLean, Virginia. In addition, the Foundation currently maintains four overseas centers: the Chiang Ching-kuo International Sinological Center at Charles University in Prague (CCK-ISC); the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation Inter-University Center for Sinology at Harvard University (CCK-IUC); the Chinese University of Hong Kong – Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation Asia-Pacific Centre for Chinese Studies (CCK-APC); and the European Research Center on Contemporary Taiwan – A CCK Foundation Overseas Center at Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen (CCKF-ERCCT). There are also review committees for the five regions covering the geographic scope of the Foundation’s operations: Domestic, American, European, Asia-Pacific and Developing.
