The United Nation calls for the safe and sound chemicals management, responsible investment as well as corporate social responsibility over 20 years and those have been taken as the ways to achieve sustainable development goals since 2015. By virtue of this global trend, the Toxic and Chemical Substances Bureau (TCSB) of Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration initiates this project as the first step to assist manufacturing industry transition to green chemistry so as to gradually reduce chemical risks at its source for pollution prevention then move forward a non-toxic, healthy and sustainable environment. Throughout this project, we have a good knowledge of what international policies, strategies and measures have been done and currently be dedicated to in terms of green chemistry involved into production management. Also, we have approximately depicted the phase of chemicals transition and how the green financing enables to assist among domestic manufacturing industries. Importantly, we have demonstrated a collaborative model of chemical transition among industry-government-university-institute by building a counseling and guidance group, co-visiting corporations and offering consultancy services on a case-by-case basis including providing outcome evaluations and further feasible approaches with suggestions. Last but not least, we have created performance index based on dividing chemical-related risks and opportunities into aspects of health, environment, market and finance so as to facilitate manufacturing corporations to keep tracing then improved.
