| 摘要: | 本研究目的在探討乾旱風險因子對臺灣上市櫃公司水資源重大議題判斷的影響，以研究臺灣上市櫃公司對水資源風險的態度。本研究手動蒐集2020、2021年臺灣上市櫃公司發布之永續報告書中重大議題矩陣上議題的名稱、數量與位置，並將蒐集到的議題依其面相與位置進行分類，取得議題的ESG面向、利害關係人關注傾向、公司營運衝擊傾向、一致傾向的資訊，配合災害風險因子，從TEJ、政府統計資料等處取得變數資訊，以迴歸分析，分別討論風險因子對企業重視程度、影響主要對象的影響，並延伸探討字詞差異隱含的企業態度。
研究發現企業是否重視水資源議題受到南北差異、是否位於科學園區、用水量、公司規模、年齡影響，而風險因子對公司營運衝擊之影響不顯著，利害關係人關注則主要受到公司規模影響，並且當利害關係人或公司高階主管有其他關注議題時，水資源議題的重要性會減弱，當利害關係人或公司高階主管兩方對議題的重視程度一致時，水資源議題會較受到公司營運衝擊的重視。因此，本研究認為臺灣上市櫃公司有認知到水資源議題的重要，但相較於其他議題，水資源議題的重要程度較低，並非企業首要關注的議題。
;The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of drought risk factors on the assessment of significant water resource issues by listed and over-the-counter (OTC) companies in Taiwan, and to examine the attitudes of these companies towards water resource risks. This study manually collected the names, quantities, and positions of issues from the materiality matrix in sustainability reports published by companies in Taiwan in 2020 and 2021. The collected issues were classified based on their aspects and positions to get information regarding the ESG aspects, and issue tendency of stakeholder concerns, company performance impacts. Disaster risk factors were obtained from TEJ, government statistics, and other sources, and using regression to analyze. The study discusses the influence of risk factors on the importance of water resource issues by companies, the impact on the stakeholders and company performance, and extends the discussion to explore the implied corporate attitudes based on differences in terminology.
The study found that whether companies prioritize water resource issues is influenced by factors such as regional differences, location in science parks, water usage, company size, and age. However, the influence of risk factors on company performance impacts is not significant, and stakeholder concerns are mainly influenced by company size. Furthermore, when stakeholders or senior executives of companies have other issues of concern, the importance of water resource issues diminishes. When the importance of th e materiality by stakeholders or senior executives of companies are on the same page , water resource issues receive greater attention regarding company performance impacts. Therefore, this study suggests that listed and OTC companies in Taiwan recognize the importance of water resource issues, but compared to other issues, the importance of water resource issues is relatively low and is not the primary concern for these companies. |
