Supervision and Inspection of Green Point Collection Program Project of Year 2022-2024

Absrtact
To promote the concept of "green consumption cycle," encouraging the purchase of green products and other environmental actions, and guiding the public to practice green living through the "valuation of environmental actions," thereby driving the green economic cycle. Since December 2015, the Environmental Protection Administration(EPA) of the Executive Yuan has officially promoted the “Environmental Green Point Collection System”(Green Point), integrating government and private resources. As of November 2023, over 949,000 members have joined the Green Point, and cooperation with numerous well-known channels has been established within the affiliate institution system. To strengthen the protection and trust of various stakeholders (such as consumers), this project supervises and manages the actual implementation of the Green Points Office, ensuring that the execution aligns with existing laws and policies, and achieves the following three main goals: Goal 1: Implement the supervision and audit operations of the environmental points system, assisting the Ministry of Environment in auditing the implementation of the environmental points platform. Actual execution results include conducting two financial audits and a review by an accountant, with no significant deficiencies found in the review results. Additionally, assistance was provided to ensure the basic security checks of the environmental points APP mobile application were completed and passed. Goal 2: Conduct online and offline audits of the Green Point Platform, pre-test environmental point-related activities, and conduct system information checks to enhance the real-time information of the Green Point Platform and improve service quality. The actual execution results included completing audit reports for physical/online channels under the Green Point and providing three lists of missing products to improve the real-time accuracy of the platform's information. Goal 3: Assist in reviewing the legality of legal documents related to the Green Point to ensure its stable operation. The actual execution results include providing legal consultation assistance during points redemption events at participating merchants and offering optimization suggestions for the "Audit and Supervision Management Procedures of the Green Point." Finally, based on actual implementation experience, future recommendations are proposed, including evaluating the transfer of the system to a private cloud to enhance platform service levels and scalability, strengthening incident handling and optimizing channel data accuracy, communicating with channels to enhance label exposure through star products, establishing standard procedures to improve processing efficiency and legal compliance, and promoting mobile verification to effectively reduce account anomalies. These recommendations aim to establish a foundation of digital trust between the Green Points and the public.
