ESG
As nations worldwide declare their intentions to achieve net-zero carbon emissions, large corporations both domestically and internationally are beginning to implement carbon reduction measures to align with the ESG trend. While Taiwan's large tech manufacturing companies have gradually implemented these policies, small and medium-sized manufacturers, facing limited resources and manpower, are confronted with the significant challenge of digital transformation and ESG implementation.
To address this issue, Epicor, MetaGuru, and MetaAge joined forces to host the "Digital Transformation for ESG and Sustainable Operations" seminar at the Le Méridien Taichung Hotel. The event attracted numerous manufacturing clients who engaged in extensive discussions and exchanges on topics ranging from digitalization, automation, cloud computing, and data analytics to business model transformation.
During the event, Well, the General Manager of Epicor Taiwan, shared how Epicor supports digitalization in large companies across different countries. He highlighted the value created by Epicor ERP in enhancing employee productivity, reducing operating costs, and increasing net income. He also introduced Epicor's leading position in the international ERP market. Following this, Epicor Solution Manager Shia Min provided an in-depth analysis of how the manufacturing industry can use digital tools to streamline operations and boost revenue.
Jason Wu, Digital Transformation Service Manager at MetaGuru, discussed how, beyond the core ERP system, seamless integration with Business Process Management (BPM) is crucial. He emphasized the integration of contract management, robotic automation technology, and carbon emission management systems to establish a comprehensive digital infrastructure for enterprises. Wu highlighted MetaGuru’s recent development of the iCarbon Cloud platform, which assists companies in tracking carbon processes, generating data reports, and utilizing big data and visual war room charts. This approach significantly reduces the labor-intensive nature of sustainability and ESG tasks in the manufacturing sector, lowering the barriers to management and implementation, thereby helping companies achieve green business goals.
Supporting these diverse applications is the robust infrastructure provided by global cloud leader AWS. Jessie Su, Cloud Architect at MetaAge, shared how AWS, under international high-standard ESG compliance regulations, creates the necessary infrastructure services for the development of digital transformation applications. He also mentioned AWS's recent launch of AI tools in response to the trend of generative AI technology, aiming to empower enterprises and create more operational value.
MetaAge Business Process Consultant Fanger Zhong pointed out that in recent years, besides cloud and AI technology, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has also seen significant advancements. He provided numerous practical examples of how RPA tools can take over tedious, repetitive, time-consuming, and error-prone processes, thereby greatly enhancing the productivity of enterprises.
In conclusion, KT Chen, Business Development Manager of the METAMatch Cloud Marketplace Ecosystem at MetaAge, explained that through the collaboration of MetaAge, MetaGuru, and Epicor, and based on Qisda Group's "Great Fleet" strategy, end-user companies can achieve seamless integration across different units and deep cooperation up and down the supply chain. The innovative marketplace business model allows users, even with limited IT resources, to focus on their core business operations. By leveraging external team integration, companies can reduce the risks associated with digital transformation implementation.

The University Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development Center of Lunghwa University of Science and Technology (LHU) recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for social responsibility and sustainable development with MetaAge Digital Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Qisda Group. The signing was represented by Professor Lu Liangjun, Director of the center, and Yang Shuoyou, Chief HR Officer of MetaAge Digital Co., Ltd., with LHU President Ge Zixiang and Vice General Manager Huang Shufen witnessing the event. This partnership aims to integrate the synergistic effects of USR (University Social Responsibility) and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) to enhance local engagement and strengthen SDG 17 by developing industry-academic partnerships from a social responsibility perspective.
LHU President Ge Zixiang stated that the core spirit of the Ministry of Education’s promotion of University Social Responsibility (USR) is talent cultivation. Through curriculum planning, faculty and students go beyond the campus, using their academic expertise to guide students in empathizing with and addressing local community challenges. By applying social innovation concepts, they can identify the most suitable solutions for community issues. This interdisciplinary learning process allows both faculty and students to grow together and cultivates integrated professionals with humanistic qualities for industry and society.
Ge Zixiang emphasized that vocational and technical colleges play a crucial role in nurturing industry talent and serve as essential bases for the nation’s sustainable development. Meanwhile, enterprises are key drivers of ESG and social responsibility. Therefore, the partnership between LHU and MetaAge Digital Co., Ltd. seeks to expand from the perspectives of USR and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), integrating industry and academic resources towards sustainable development. The goal is to establish a partnership that promotes social responsibility practices and creates lasting social value.
LHU has been actively advancing its USR initiatives, gradually expanding its social impact. The university continues to enhance its efforts by upgrading and developing its emerging USR projects. This progress is supported by MetaAge, which has integrated corporate resources to assist LHU. Through the efforts of Professor Shih Chiaowang, the director of LHU’s USR project, "Holding Hands with Guishan: Co-prosperity and Elevation in Conservation, Humanities, and Technology," MetaAge has donated laptops to support this initiative. The project aims to help international students from Southeast Asia, who are studying at LHU, to promote digital education in their hometowns’ rural areas. Additionally, through discussions and exchanges, a platform is established for academia and industry to engage in mutual learning and experience sharing.
Yang Shuoyou, Chief HR Officer of MetaAge Digital Co., Ltd., expressed that combining ESG and USR is just the beginning. Moving forward, MetaAge will work closely with LHU on three key aspects: talent cultivation, social engagement, and environmental sustainability. This includes leveraging the resources of the group's Digital Talent Academy to align with USR courses, jointly addressing local community challenges, and promoting climate action through community care activities and environmental conservation efforts. By effectively integrating corporate resources, MetaAge aims to assist LHU in advancing its USR initiatives and gradually deepening their collaboration.
Professor Lu Liangjun, Director of LHU’s USR and Sustainable Development Center, emphasized that promoting ESG has become a global trend among enterprises. Combining university social responsibility with corporate ESG principles represents an exemplary model. The collaboration between LHU and MetaAge Digital Co., Ltd. exemplifies a practical approach to resource integration, strengthening local connections while gradually aligning with international standards. By merging ESG and USR efforts, the partnership aims to enhance the synergistic effects of local engagement, creating a model for impactful practices and increasing social influence.

In 2020, COVID-19 broke out and swept across the globe, and until mid-2021, the world was still combating the virus. In response to the changes in work style as a result of the pandemic, working remotely and in shifts, as well as the hybrid model as a compromise, have accelerated the digital transformation of many companies. The survey by Willis Towers Watson (WTW), a world-leading advisory company, shows that employee experience has become more important in the post-pandemic era, and 92% of respondents, 42% up from the previous survey, emphasized more on employee experience. According to Benjamin Chou, Talent & Rewards Consulting VP of WTW, it is necessary for companies to think outside the box. While flexible working will become a new normal and even a new corporate competitive strength, how to help company officers to lead the reform in the aid of technology will be the key to future success for solution providers.
MetaAge, a leader in ICT solutions, has made impressive achievements in applying the most sought-after AI technology to talent recruitment. According to MetaAge CHRO ShouYo Yang, it usually took two days for companies to screen applicant CVs in the past; now, with AI, it takes only 10 minutes. This means that an applicant may receive an interview notice within 10 minutes after submitting their CV. It is so efficient because the human resources unit has digitized the description of all jobs and the data of past employees and constructed different models. Then, model screening is implemented through AI’s data learning ability. Take MetaAge for example, it has created over 300 models and selected the best one for verification. It has also constructed the talent models of competitors for comparative study. Through constant system optimization, AI can select talent more accurately. Then, an online interview process follows. During the level 3 lockdown, MetaAge conducted over 100 online interviews, saving 50% of time compared to the past. In the past it took two days to screen CVs before arranging interviews.
By integrating AI talent selection and online interviews, everything can be done within 48 hours, including accurate talent selection, interview completion, and offer confirmation. For applicants (potential future employees), this is even more of a highly-efficient, smooth, and beautiful job application experience.
