To enhance Board functions and operation, FENC arranged two three-hour training sessions targeting governance and risk management for the Board members in 2024. The sessions, which were held in July and November, are titled “The Era of Carbon Pricing and Corporate ESG Actions” and “From Digital Transformation to AI Empowerment.” Several senior executives joined the Board members during the training sessions, both of which reached over 80 in attendance count. 

“The Era of Carbon Pricing and Corporate ESG Actions” was led by Professor Chien-Ming Lee, who is known as the father of carbon trading in Taiwan. Professor Lee currently holds a teaching post at the Institute of Natural Resources Management at National Taipei University. He shared global trends in net-zero governance and approaches for self-evaluating carbon risks amid the arrival of the carbon pricing era, exploring topics such as carbon pricing systems in Taiwan and international communities, carbon credit quality management as well as global sustainable strategies for reaching net-zero emissions.

Lee-Feng Chien, board member of the startup, Appier/iKala AI, led the session, “From Digital Transformation to AI Empowerment.” His main focus was on corporate opportunities and impacts from AI. He also shared the latest progress and trends as well as his insights regarding digital transformation, which he believed should entail three critical aspects, “empower your employee, engage your customers and optimize your operation.”
