| dc.description.abstract | This study explores text mining analysis of environmental aspects in sustainability reports within the computer peripherals industry. By analyzing corporate environmental disclosures, it was found that high levels of environmental disclosure might reveal adverse information that could affect corporate reputation. However, effective environmental management practices can improve resource efficiency, reduce pollution and carbon emissions, and thereby enhance economic performance. We emphasize the importance of environmental disclosure as the foundation of environmental management and suggest that companies establish an environmental management framework to control and reduce environmental impact through the analysis of input and output indicators, achieving sustainable development goals.
In the past, companies focused on economic, environmental, and social aspects, pursuing maximum shareholder interests. With the drastic changes in the environment and climate, ESG principles have been re-emphasized, and companies have started to value environmental protection and proactively disclose environmental data. This study uses SAS text mining and topic analysis functions, taking companies in the computer peripherals industry with total revenues exceeding NT$100 billion in 2023 as research subjects, to explore important indicators and actual practices related to environmental aspects in sustainability reports written according to the GRI framework from 2019 to 2023.
The research results show that the sustainability policies of benchmark companies revolve around energy use, waste management, and supplier management. These companies not only honestly disclose environmental data but also actively fulfill corporate social responsibility and contribute to environmental protection. By adopting environmental protection measures, these companies not only reduce negative environmental impacts but also enhance resource efficiency, achieving a win-win situation of economic and environmental benefits. This study highlights the key indicators in sustainable development and practical actions for a sustainable environment, encouraging other companies to follow it. | en_US |
