摘要
隨著全球氣候變遷議題持續升溫,能源產業的淨零轉型及氣候承諾已成為全球共同關注的核 心。本研究專注於評估我國能源產業在氣候承諾與ESG環境面的具體落實情況,運用新氣候研究所 (NewClimate Institute)的「企業氣候責任監測(CCRM)」方法,探討企業所提出的氣候承諾與減量策 略的透明度與可信度,並分析這些企業是否存在宣稱環保但實際行動不足,即所謂的「漂綠」現 象。 本研究首先分析我國能源產業在全球氣候變遷背景下的角色和挑戰,接著詳述企業氣候責任 監測(CCRM)的評估方法,並以此為基礎,評估我國能源產業各大企業的氣候承諾和減量策略。研 究結果揭示,部分企業在宣告氣候承諾時,有過度美化實際氣候行動的風險,進而形成「漂綠」現 象,難以落實ESG環境面之達成氣候承諾與淨零目標。最後,根據企業氣候承諾評估結果與分析, 本研究提出一系列具體建議,以幫助我國能源產業更有效地達成氣候承諾,減少「漂綠」風險,並 在淨零轉型的過程中持續推進永續發展。

As the global climate change issue continues to escalate, the net-zero transition of the energy industry and climate commitments have become a central focus of global attention. This study concentrates on evaluating the concrete implementation of climate commitments and the environmental aspect of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) in our country’s energy industry. Utilizing the “Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitoring (CCRM)” methodology developed by the NewClimate Institute, this research investigates the transparency and credibility of the climate commitments and reduction strategies proposed by corporations. Additionally, it analyzes whether these corporations are involved in “greenwashing,” where they claim to be environmentally friendly but their actions are insufficient. Firstly, this study analyzes the role and challenges of our country’s energy industry in the context of global climate change. Following that, it provides a detailed description of the evaluation method used in the Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitoring (CCRM). Based on this, the climate commitments and reduction strategies of major corporations in our country’s energy industry are assessed. The results reveal that some corporations risk overstating their actual climate actions when making climate commitments, leading to greenwashing and making it difficult to fulfill climate commitments and Net-Zero goals in terms of the ESG environmental aspect. In conclusion, based on the evaluation results and analysis of corporate climate commitments, this study puts forward a series of concrete recommendations. These recommendations aim to assist our country’s energy industry in more effectively achieving its climate commitments, reducing the risk of greenwashing, and continuing to promote sustainable development throughout the net-zero transition process.
