Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) is a fully state-owned energy distribution company headquartered in Taipei City, Taiwan. Taipower has over 14 million customers, comprising an estimated population of 23 million people, making it one of the largest utilty companies in the country.
Summary
Taipower reports on numerous sustainability topics but has potential to strengthen its performance in many areas. The company publishes its sustainability strategy which includes targets for its most material impacts. However, it is yet to report against all these targets, making it difficult to track progress. Taipower discloses its engagement with local governments during infrastructure projects, but lacks disclosure on its engagement with other stakeholders, including those affected by its activities.
The company demonstrates its commitment to affordability and quality by reporting and setting targets on the frequency and duration of power outages, and by investing in electricity bill discounts for disadvantaged groups. It also discloses its policy commitments to respect fundamental human and labour rights across its operations. It shows leading disclosure on air pollution, by setting a target to reduce air pollutants by 75% from 2016 to 2030 and reporting the processes and technologies used to monitor and mitigate dust and air pollutants. The company is recommended to report in similar detail on other topics, such as greenhouse gas emissions and water withdrawal, to facilitate a better understanding of its efforts and progress in these areas.
