Message from Our Chairperson
From Taiwan's Challenges to
Global Solutions
Dear Partners and Future Colleagues,
Twenty years ago, we made a choice: to tackle Taiwan’s most demanding environmental projects—the ones others considered too complex or too risky.
Today, we safeguard the water quality for 20% of Taiwan’s households. But our real competitive advantage isn’t scale—it’s what we learn from running these facilities every day. The data and experience we gain becomes the institutional knowledge we can apply to the next project, and the next.
We remain humble about what we don’t know. Environmental challenges evolve constantly, requiring us to stay agile, listen carefully to our clients’ needs, and adapt quickly. Our commitment is straightforward: deliver measurable environmental outcomes for Taiwan’s communities and industries.
If you share our belief that Taiwan can contribute meaningful solutions to global sustainability challenges—whether as a partner organization or as part of our team—I invite you to join us. Together, we can create solutions that serve Taiwan today and the world tomorrow.
