The Carbon Emission and Sustainability of Manufacture for Better Carbon Efficiency
Abstract
Taiwan is an export-focused manufacturing economy instead of a brand-marketing one. In other words, the manufacturing exporters in Taiwan are generally adopting supply chain management measures to secure orders. The upcoming implementation of the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has caused carbon anxiety in Taiwanese manufacturers before it has been enforced. The emphasis on environmental conservation is a sign of progress; however, amid significant social change, businesses often feel pressure rather than seeing it as a positive development. Although the total amount of resources is still increasing, businesses have not yet fully adapted to the new society and businesses will tend to become agitated and anxious, even frantic. Unfortunately, this problem can not be resolved in the short term. The businesses can only focus on developing and adopting to meet the market. To maintain Taiwan’s position in the global supply chain, it’s essential to adapt and comply with the new international regulations. The first step is voluntary carbon disclosure to address carbon challenges. The purpose of this research is to investigate Taiwanese manufacturers’ understanding of how voluntary disclosure to aid corporate decision-making.
Conclusion and Suggestions
Manufacturing industries experiencing carbon anxiety must focus on enhancing carbon efficiency to effectively address these challenges. But what exactly is carbon efficiency? "Carbon efficiency" is a practical concept that refers to the efficiency with which energy is utilized in the production processes of an enterprise. During energy use, whether it involves fossil fuels or electricity, greenhouse gas emissions are inevitably generated. Therefore, improving energy utilization efficiency becomes a crucial strategy for effectively reducing these emissions. Moving forward, carbon efficiency is likely to be recognized as a key indicator in the effort to reduce carbon emissions, as it enables companies or organizations to lower their carbon footprint while simultaneously boosting production efficiency and optimizing resource utilization. In this context, carbon efficiency should be viewed as a method or means to achieve the broader goal of net-zero carbon emissions. By enhancing carbon efficiency throughout both production and consumption processes, companies can reduce carbon emissions, thereby advancing closer to the net-zero carbon goal.
Improvements in carbon efficiency may encompass a range of measures, including refining production processes, optimizing energy usage, managing resources more effectively, innovating product design, and enhancing supply chain management. Achieving these improvements typically requires comprehensive management and continuous refinement within the organization. What constitutes progress? It is the pursuit of a better life, achieving more through the simplest means - by increasing efficiency. Thus, humanity bears a significant responsibility in the pursuit of enhanced carbon efficiency. We must deepen our understanding of energy and environmental issues, drive technological innovation, and advocate for supportive policies to achieve improvements in carbon efficiency, thereby
