Industrial Sustainable Development

People begin to pay more attention to the environmental problems in the world. Now we have recognized that as we pursue the economic development, we should not sacrifice the future of our environment since enterprises or industries should focus themselves on and look for industrial sustainable development. In Taiwan, semiconductor industry is one of its economy pillars. We regard it as a typical case for environmental management. Taking UMC as an example, the present thesis will discuss the concept of eco-efficiency in the corporation. In addition to the traditional financial accounting, enterprises also establish an environmental accounting system to realize the true cost of products. Moreover, eco-efficiency indicators and enterprise social responsibilities become the basis for the evaluation of the enterprise market value.Now a green trade protectionism is gaining popularity on global scale. As a result of this phenomenon, the attitude of environmental management is not to administer with simple pipe end, but to be conducted from the point of view of the life-circle of products and services. And then, there comes the green value chain. The thesis posits proposals on the formation of green value chain in Taiwan's semiconductor industry. The author will use "central-satellite system" to actively motivate the manufacturers at all the upper, middle and lower levels to establish their own ability in D&R, etc. However, it is the key to combine tightly the whole value chain if corporations can cultivate the atmosphere of mutual aid and cooperation.
