Since the semiconductor industry became the engine of global innovation and resilience, director accountability for sustainability has gained international prominence. This session examines the establishment of ESG committees in Taiwan’s semiconductor firms and compares them with the latest landmark cases in the U.S. and Australia. By synthesizing empirical evidence with judicial developments, we analyze how boards navigate implementation challenges across these three jurisdictions. The discussion reveals the strategic transition from short-term profit guardians to accountable sustainability stewards in a complex regulatory landscape.
