As the global ESG movement accelerates, many small and medium-sized businesses are grappling with the issue of compliance.

Using governance-driven sustainability to influence their entire supply chain, they are demonstrating an undeniable truth: genuine competitiveness comes from lifting the whole industry, not advancing alone.

Among last year’s finalists for the Taoyuan Golden Enterprise Award in the ESG Governance category, SHIEH YIH MACHINERY INDUSTRY CO., LTD. (SEYI) and EISO Enterprise Co., Ltd. (EISO) attracted particular attention. These companies are not large, yet their sustainability vision exceeds that of many large corporations; they manage their own operations and strive to enhance the ecosystem in which they operate.
