Why Was General Manager Sheng-Yang Mai Recognized as a Sustainability Changemaker?

General Manager Mai received the “Changemaker in Sustainability” recognition for his leadership and commitment to developing sustainability capabilities across Hsin Tung Yang.

As companies navigate complex challenges—including climate change, energy management, responsible supply chains, and corporate governance—sustainability must be supported by qualified professionals and integrated into organizational decision-making.

Recognizing this need, General Manager Mai not only supported employees in undertaking professional training but also took the lead by obtaining the Corporate Sustainability Manager certification himself. He subsequently guided mid- and senior-level managers and key employees from multiple departments in strengthening their ESG knowledge and practical management capabilities.

By the end of 2025, Hsin Tung Yang had achieved two measurable outcomes in sustainability talent development:

• 23 employees had obtained the Corporate Sustainability Manager certification.
• 25% of managers at section chief level or above held the certification.

Through management-led and cross-functional learning, Hsin Tung Yang is establishing a shared understanding of sustainability across the organization. This enables environmental, social, and governance considerations to extend beyond the responsibilities of a single department and become progressively integrated into management decisions, operational processes, and cross-functional collaboration.

What Is the Corporate Sustainability Management Leadership Recognition Ceremony?

Organized by the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy, the Corporate Sustainability Management Leadership Recognition Ceremony brings together corporate leaders and sustainability professionals from a broad range of industries.

The event recognizes individuals who have demonstrated sustained commitment to ESG management, organizational transformation, and positive social impact. It also provides a platform for sustainability professionals to exchange practical experience, share resources, and explore opportunities for cross-industry collaboration.

By highlighting the contributions of sustainability practitioners, the event seeks to strengthen Taiwan’s professional ESG community and expand its collective capacity to address emerging sustainability challenges.

Translating Professional Certification into Cross-Functional ESG Capabilities

Corporate sustainability cannot be advanced by a single department or achieved through policy commitments alone. Effective implementation requires coordinated participation across the organization—from setting objectives and collecting data to monitoring performance and pursuing continuous improvement.

Hsin Tung Yang therefore regards professional talent development as a fundamental component of its sustainability strategy. With the General Manager leading by example and engaging mid- and senior-level managers and key employees in professional training, the company is strengthening a consistent understanding of ESG principles across its departments.

This shared foundation enables Hsin Tung Yang to translate sustainability objectives into practical management measures that can be implemented, monitored, evaluated, and continuously improved.

The 25% certification rate among managers at section chief level or above further indicates that sustainability expertise is becoming embedded within the company’s management structure. This provides an important foundation for informed decision-making, cross-functional coordination, risk identification, and operational improvement.
