環保意識抬頭使企業面臨揭露環境資訊之壓力，進而發佈環境報告書。由於環境報告書在國內尚處發展階段，企業對其了解不深，使相關同業之經驗分享，尤其重要。 本研究採個案研究法，以個案公司為例，探討其發佈環境報告書之動機、設計與編製過程、相關內容及發佈後之效益。透過實地訪談、數次電話聯絡與書面文件相互比對後，有下列四點發現： 一、個案公司發佈之動機主要受日本母廠感召，並希望藉此達成對內、外之有效溝通、提升公司競爭力與形象，進而追求永續發展。 二、由事務局搭配相關管理機制，設計與編製出涵蓋產品生命週期之環境報告書。 三、報告書之內容從環境管理開始，進入綠色設計、綠色採購、綠色生產與綠色消費；至於環境資訊，有財務與非財務兩種表達方式。 四、發佈後之效益與動機相呼應，表現在公司形象、競爭力之提升與良好溝通上。 / Due to environmental consciousness, the enterprise is faced with the exposition of environmental information, then issues corporate environmental report (CER). However, CER is still in a developing phase domestically, and the enterprise doesn’t understand about it deeply. Thus, sharing in correlative experience of the profession is quite important. This research adopts case study, and takes the case company as the example to probe into the motive of, the design and the establishment process, the correlation content and the benefit of disclosing CER. After comparing with the penetration on the spot interview, the telephone contact and the written document mutually, there are four findings as below: First, the case company was affected by the Japanese Parent factory, and hoped to get up to communicate with its stakeholders effectively, to raise its competitive power and image, and to pursue its sustainable development. Second, the Affair Bureau introduced some management mechanisms into design and establishment process of the CER which covered a product’s life cycle. Third, the content of the report started from the environment management, then the green design, the green purchase, the green production and the green consumption came after; As for the environment information, could be divided into financial and the non-financial two statements. Finally, the benefit of disclosing CER responded to the motive, and displayed in the company’s image, the competitive power promotion of and the good communication.

許多環境管理績效研究顯示廠商會受到許多內外部利害關係人的影響而促使廠商採行環境管理作為以提高環境管理績效。影響廠商行為的利害關係人有不同的類型(Freeman, 1984)，在環境管理議題方面，主要影響廠商行為的利害關係人有四種類型，分別為：規範性、組織性、社區和媒體(Henriques and Sadorsky, 1999)。其中規範性利害關係人對廠商環境管理行為的影響深遠(Cordano, Marshall And Silverman 2010; 2010 Darnall, Heniques and Sadorsky, 2010)。其次，股東也是對廠商環境管理行為具有影響力的利害關係人(Flammer, 2013)。再者，Kassinis and Vafeas (2006)發現在美國，社區型利害關係人壓力有助於提昇工廠的環境管理績效水準。然而，既有研究尚未清楚探討，利害關係人對新興經濟體廠商實際污染行為產生是否影響？據此，關於利害關係人與廠商實際環境污染行為的實證，本研究發現，本國大股東、國外法人股東，和已開發國家客戶等利害關係人的壓力皆會正向影響廠商實際環境污染行為。然而，設置獨立董事會導致廠商實際環境污染行為機率提高的實證結果，本研究將深入討論。 最後，本研究以微觀基礎架構去剖析廠商回應利害關係人要求，發展出符合環境管理規範的回應能力。本研究透過個案研究與內容分析等方式，區分出三種類型環境管理規範，分別是技術應用型環境管理規範、專業知識型環境管理規範，和跨領域專業知識型環境管理規範。針對不同類型的環境管理規範，廠商也發展出三種類型環境管理規範回應能力，分別是：單一部門整合回應能力、跨部門整合回應能力，和跨領域整合回應能力，並進一步討論不同環境管理規範和廠商環境管理規範回應能力的關係，以及說明研究限制和後續建議。 / There are many environmental management performance studies have shown that many firms will be affected by internal and external stakeholders, their pressures force firms to improve their environmental management performance as they adopt environmental management act. Different stakeholders’ pressures influence the behavior of firm (Freeman, 1984). To environmental management issues, there are four types of stakeholders may affect firm’s behavior, namely: normative, organizational, community and media (Henriques and Sadorsky, 1999). The normative stakeholder influence firm’s environmental management act deeply (Cordano , Marshall And Silverman 2010; 2010 Darnall, Heniques and Sadorsky, 2010) . In addition, shareholders also influence firm’s environmental management actions (Flammer, 2013). Kassinis and Vafeas (2006) found that in the United States, community-based stakeholders improve factory’s environmental management performance. However, the relationship between stakeholder’s pressures and emerging markets firm’s actual pollution behavior has not been clear. Relationships between Stakeholders and firm’s actual pollution behavior, our empirical findings show that home country’s major shareholders, foreign institutional shareholders, and developed country customers may positively improve actual pollution behavior of emerging market firm. However, firm with independent board directors may lead to increase firm’s actual pollution behavior; we also have intensely discussion to this empirical result. Finally, this study use the micro-foundation framework to demonstrate firm’s development of environmental management regulation’ responding capacities. This study uses case studies and content analysis to distinguish three types of environmental management regulations, which are technology applied environmental management regulation, professional knowledge-based environmental management regulation, and interdisciplinary knowledge-based environmental management regulation. With different types of environmental management regulations, firm developed three types’ capabilities to respond to those environmental management regulations, namely: single department's intergation ability to fit enrionmental management regulations, cross-department integration capability to fit emvironmental management resulations, and interdisciplinary integration capability to fit environmental management regulatuons, then we discuss the relationships between different types of environmental management regulations and firm’s integration capability to fit environmental regulations. Research limitations and future research issues also discussed.

本研究蒐集各國企業所發行之獨立環境報告（Corporate Environmental Reports）共84份，採內容分析的研究方法，針對環境報告的內容進行研究分析。本研究建立一種評量模式，以聯合國環境規劃署（UNEP）所建議之環境報告揭露主題作為觀察評量單元，依揭露內容的完整性與相關主題的系統整合度，將環境報告于各單元的表現分為四個等級，依次給予0-3的權重分數，各單元所得分數加總即為整份環境報告的揭露成果。 本研究同時進行產業別與地區別的分析，依產業分為電力、汽車、能源、消費品、資本設備、化學、服務、森林產品與造紙等八種產業類別，將隸屬同一產業別的企業環境報告歸類分別進行分析比較，以電力與汽車兩種產業為例，摘出其產業中于各揭露主題表現最佳的範例置于本研究報告之中，作為樣本參考。本研究尚進行產業之間的比較，研究發現環境報告因產業特性而產生的揭露選擇與差異；地區別的分析則將環境報告依地區重新分類，分為美加、歐洲、北歐以及日本四個主要地區，觀察分析各地區報告的差異。 最後提出研究結論，歸納現階段環境報告揭露的主要內容，各產業之環境報告揭露選擇的差異，各地區環境報告的表現，以及提出對國內企業製作環境報告的建議。 目 錄 第一章 緒論 ……………………………………………………. 1 第一節 研究動機 ……………………………………………1 第二節 論文結構 …………………………………………... 3 第二章 文獻回顧 ……………………………………………….. 5 第一節 企業環境報告的重要性 ……………………………. 5 第二節 企業環境報告的演進及相關研究 ………………10 第三節 環境報告的指導方針與具體作法 ………………24 第四節 環境報告製作所遭遇的困難與待改進的問題 …31 第三章 研究方法 ………………………………………………35 第一節 研究架構 ………………………………………….35 第二節 研究對象 ………………………………………….39 第三節 研究方法與分析單元 …………………………….41 第四節 研究限制 ………………………………………….42 第四章 產業環境報告分析 ……………………………………..44 第一節 分析評量方法 ……………………………………..44 第二節 產業別分析 ……………………………………..48 一、 電力產業 ………………………………………….48 二、 汽車產業 ………………………………………….78 三、 能源產業 ………………………………………..106 四、 消費品產業 ……………………………………115 五、 資本設備產業 ……………………………………123 六、 化學產業 ………………………………………...131 七、 服務性產業 ……………………………………139 八、 森林產品與造紙產業 …………………………..146 第五章 產業別與地區別分析 ……………………………….155 第一節 產業別分析 ……………………………………155 第二節 地區別分析 ……………………………………172 第六章 結論與建議 ………………………………………...178 第一節 研究發現 ………………………………………...178 第二節 研究建議 ………………………………………...187 環境報告＆參考文獻 ………………………………………...189 / Abstract Out of strict environmental law, intensive market competition, and the trend toward sustainable development, the environmental responsibility has now become one of the essential elements in doing business. Under the pressure of stakeholders, such as employees, shareholders, and environmental groups, there are more and more enterprises trying to have their own presentation of environmental performance. Among the enterprises of Fortune 500, Three hundreds of them have environmental reports. They believe the environmental report is a good instrument for promoting their image of environmental protection as part of marketing strategy. In Taiwan, both the academic and the public have known very little about environmental report. In the meantime, there are only a few enterprises have their own environmental reports. Consequently, it is necessary for us to systemically examine the environmental reports of the leading company in the world to understand the contents and the level of the information they disclosed. The study collected and analyzed eighty-four standalone corporate environmental reports from different industries around world. Four major issues - management systems, input／output inventory, finance, and stakeholder relations, and twenty more detail disclosure subjects of environmental report suggested by the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) are used as our research units. Via content analysis, we categorized content of these disclosure subjects into four degrees according to their qualitative, quantitative and systematic levels. The eight industries we studied are electrical & gas utilities, automobiles, energy, consumer goods, capital equipment, chemical, service, forest products and papers. We draw the best practice of each disclosure subject in electrical & gas utilities and automobiles as benchmark. In addition to analyze each industry, we compared the industries, summarized the average and the deviation of the disclosure in these twenty subjects, explored the priority of disclosure choice and discuss the differences cause of the industry's differences. We also analyzed by four regions - America-Canada, Europe, Scandinavia, and Japan, to observe and analyze the differences of the reports by the companies in different regions. The main findings of this research are: (1) Currently, the contents covered by most of the environmental reports are: 1. The "Environmental Policy" which declares the organization's determination to preserve the environment. 2. The operational "Environmental Management System". 3. The "organizational framework" which is responsible for environmental matters. 4. "The data of energy consumption and the effects of energy saving" which response the concerns of the scarcity of energy resource. 5. "The data of air emission and the reducing method " which response the greenhouse gas, global climate changes and local air pollution. 6. "The method of wastes disposal and the result of wastes reduction". 7. "The real effect to environment and consumers" by the operations and the products of business. (2) The disclosure by different industries in four main observed issues are: n Environmental Management Systems 1. Presentation environmental policy is a common consensus, but disclosure of the other three subjects - environmental management system, management responsibility and legal compliance has large variance. 2. The level of disclosure in the management system is not related to the nature of industry's character. 3. Energy industry has the most disclosure on legal compliance subject, and automobiles industry is least one. 4. Chemical and service industries' disclosures in this area are more conservative, and the rest six industries are at same level. n Input╱Output Inventory Unit 1. Wastes disposal, air emission, and energy consumption are the top three subjects most disclosed by all industries. Accidents and emergency response, water consumption, health and safety are the least three. 2. The nature of the industry will effect the disclosure priority. For example, automobiles industry pays much attention on reducing material and disposing with the wastes because it dealing with thousands of components. n Related Financial issues 1. The sequence of industry's disclosure in finance is forest products and papers, energy, consumer goods, chemical, service, electrical & gases utilities, capital equipment and automobiles. 2. Companies' disclosures of environmental spending have wide variance in each industry. n Stakeholder Relations Unit 1. Employees, industry association and local community are the top three stakeholders thought by all industries, so the disclosure information are mostly relevant to them. 2. The industry, which affects the environment badly, like energy and automobiles, will be monitored usually by the government agencies, regulators, or environmental protection group. Therefore, their disclosure performance about the issues is much better than others. (3) The disclosure performance differences of regions are: 1. Companies in Scandinavia region have better environment disclosure in management systems and input／output inventory issues, but the average performance in stakeholder relations unit is not as good in four regions, it appears that they have a large room to improve on that. 2. Companies in America-Canada region have the best disclosure performance in finance issues, but for those high pollution industry like chemical or energy industry still do not disclose their input and output information sufficiently. 3. The Japan companies' disclosure performance is not as good currently, but we found their environmental management system are established in most companies, they also interacted with stakeholders actively. So we think Japanese companies have the potential to perform better in the future and reach the world class. Finally, we make some suggestions about how to encourage companies in Taiwan to prepare their environmental reports. (1) Reasons and motivations for company to disclose its environmental information, such as: 1. The responsibility to the environment. 2. Response to the unavoidable trend. 3. Direct and indirect business benefits. 4. The demands from the stakeholders (2) Making corporate environmental report step by step First, establishes a web site, put the most important environmental information (like air emission or wastes disposal). Second, the company must establish its environmental management system, environmental department, and go a step further to report the more extensive input/output data. Third, connection with the shareholders includes employees, investors, legislators, regulators, industry associations and local communities, and keep well interaction with them. As long as you "say what you do, do what you say", then to publish an standalone environmental report with relevant content will be easy!

本研究探討台灣企業實施環境風險管理與資金成本及財務績效之關係。以ISO14001環境管理系統認證做為實施環境風險管理的指標，研究實施環境風險管理的企業在資金成本與財務績效上是否具有較佳之表現。本研究以截至2011年4月通過ISO14001認證之上市櫃公司為實驗組，以及未曾通過認證之公司為對照組。並分為三部份進行迴歸分析，其主要研究結果如下： (一) 實施環境風險管理對債劵資金成本有負向影響。但對股東權益資金成本是正向顯著的影響。因股東權益占公司資金比重較大，故加權平均資金成本亦為正向顯著影響。 (二) 在財務績效的部份，大都支持企業實施環境風險管理時，與財務槓桿呈負向關係。並且實驗組均支持通過年數越長對稅盾有負向影響。此外，實驗組全體產業與實驗組非高污染性產業，通過認證時間越長，則對系統性風險有負向顯著影響。但實驗組高污染性產業之環境風險管理與系統性風險則無顯著相關。 (三) 由實驗組與對照組之研究比較，發現支持實施環境風險管理之公司具有較低之大股東持股比。 (四) 根據實驗組之研究，發現公司通過環境風險管理之認證，與外資法人投資比率有正向關係。但實驗組與對照組之比較，通過認證與否則對外資呈負向顯著的關係。實驗組高低汙染性產業比較中，高污染性產業僅通過認證年數與外資投資比率呈顯著相關，但非高污染性產業則不論是否通過認證與通過年數，均與外資投資比率呈正向顯著相關。 關鍵字：ISO14001環境管理系統、環境風險管理、資金成本、財務績效。 / This study investigates the relationship between implementing environmental risk management and cost of capital and financial performance for the public companies in Taiwan. Using the ISO14001 environmental management system certification as the indicator of environmental management, this thesis explores whether the companies implementing the environmental risk management system will possess lower the cost of capital and better financial performance. Among the sample firms, the companies with ISO14001 certification in year 2011 are regarded as the experimental group, and the companies have not been certified as the controlled group. Then this study conducts regression analyses for environmental risk management. The major findings are as follows: 1. Implementation of environmental risk management and the capital cost of bonds have a significantly negative relationship. However, the capital cost of equity shows a significantly positive relationship. Since shareholders' equity is a greater proportion on the company's funds in the sample firms, so the weighted average cost of capital also presents a significantly positive relationship. 2. Regarding the relationship between firm’s financial performance and its environmental risk management, this study finds that financial leverage exhibits a negative relationship. The experimental group supports that the companies with ISO14001 certification for longer years have a negative relationship with their tax shields. Besides, in the entire experimental group and experimental group of non-highly-polluting industries, the systemic risk shows a negative relationship with the longer years of certification. However, environmental risk management and the systemic risk do not present significant correlation in the experimental group of highly-polluting industries. 3. The comparison between the experimental group compared and the controlled group support the hypothesis that implementation of environmental risk management can have a lower ratio of large shareholdings. 4. The study of experimental group supports that foreign investors’ shareholdings have a positive relationship with the firms passing the certification. However, the comparison between the experimental group and the controlled group shows certification and foreign investor negatively related. In highly-polluting industries, the number of certified years is the only factor influencing foreign investors’ shareholdings. In non-highly-polluting industries, passing the certification and number of certified years both are positively associated with foreign investors’ shareholdings. Keywords：ISO14001 environmental management system, environmental risk management, cost of capital, financial performance.
