Under the global trend of carbon reduction, The Environmental Protection Administration of the Republic of China on Taiwan (EPA,ROC(Taiwan)) has operated product carbon label scheme from 2010, and at the same time Taiwan is 11th country to promote carbon label scheme. With calculating the product carbon footprint, EPA,ROC(Taiwan) hopes the companies can increase their ability to calculate and disclose carbon footprint and to find the opportunity of carbon reduction. Along with the development of carbon label scheme, EPA,ROC(Taiwan) has constructed product carbon footprint calculation platform to correspond to the industry’s need in 2012.We hope the platform can be the important communication tools for government and industry to achieve carbon reduction targets, to declare its corporate social responsibility and to market green product to the public. This year, we develop the new task based on the basis of “107 annual carbon footprint disclosure of information services project work plan “and “Project of the Authorization and Promotion on the Carbon Footprint Labeling Scheme (The Second year)”, there are five points as follows: (1) Counsel the company about calculating and verifying product carbon footprint with using product carbon footprint calculation platform and obtaining carbon label.(2)Follow-up and monitor carbon label product and evaluate whether to modify the carbon label scheme.(3) Construct local raw material and energy’s carbon emission factor and keep managing and promoting product carbon footprint calculation platform.(4)Hold the campaign to promote carbon label scheme.(5) Attend the Asia Carbon Footprint Network (ACFN) conference in order to let our carbon label scheme in line with other country and to obtain the latest information from other country.
