2026 Sustainability Report Case Competition | Application Guidelines

Preliminary submission deadline Friday, September 4, 2026

Sustainability reports document in detail what each company actually does for environmental protection and social contribution, yet few people read them closely. The Amundi Sustainable Investment Research Centre at NCCU's College of Management held the Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Report Case Study Competition, guiding students to study the sustainability reports of five of Taiwan's leading sustainability companies, to understand how enterprises advance sustainable development and take concrete action, and to learn how such a report is compiled.

The competition asked students to evaluate corporate value from a sustainable-investment perspective and to persuade the judges (playing investors with a strong preference for sustainability) to invest in the company, balancing theoretical understanding with real-case analysis and broadening their view of sustainable investment.

Competition Theme

From a sustainable-investment perspective, analyze five of Taiwan's leading sustainability companies, assess their sustainability value, and seek to persuade investors to fund them in pursuit of a green transition.
