Since 1992, the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) has sponsored the “Annual Enterprises Environmental Protection (EEP) Award of the Republic of China (ROC)” for twelve consecutive year. Each year, ten of the best organizations are honored for their outstanding performance in promoting environmental protection.
