British Chamber of Commerce in Taipei

British Chamber of Commerce in Taipei (BCCTaipei) is a value-adding resource that champions the business and social interests of its members in Taiwan. Made up of large and small corporations, individuals, and overseas associations, BCCTaipei is a strong and cosmopolitan mixture of successful enterprises in diverse industries.
BCCTaipei acts as a key resource for UK companies interested in the Taiwan market by ensuring that businesses, especially SMEs, have a direct line to assistance and networks. They provide landing pad services and offer a united but unbiased commercial perspective on all issues affecting British business interests in Taiwan, and Taiwan business interests in the UK.
BCCTaipei provides a broad range of membership activities and events including business networking opportunities and free-for-member Talent Development Workshops. BCCTaipei also has a number of Signature Events including the St Andrew's Ball, Charity Golf and Football Tournaments, and the Christmas Charity Auction. We also have a number of specific events, large and small, throughout the year focusing on CSR, Young Professional Development and Women in Business.
The Chamber is housed inside the British Office and shares a very close relationship to the Foreign Office, Department for Business & Trade and the British Council, and holds periodic joint events with other foreign chambers.
In conjunction with membership activities, BCCTaipei has donated over 18 million NT dollars to local Taiwanese charities, and has an active programme to support the CSR initiatives of its members in Taiwan.

Summary

Summary


As a highly progressive, industrialised and democratic nation in southeast Asia, Taiwan (ROC) has remained committed to reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, together with its broader impact on climate change, through an unofficial commitment to a string of global climate action agendas such as COP26. Drawing on the success of our 'Women in the Taiwan Offshore Wind Industry' report in October 2021, the British Chamber of Commerce in Taipei (BCCTaipei) has launched a new project entitled 'Women in Climate Action Taiwan (2022)'. In view of the country's pledge to achieve 'Net-Zero Emissions by 2050', in this Forum we will share insights on the status and role of female leadership in key industries at a domestic level in relation to Taiwan's national prospects and vision for climate action.


As part of the study, a survey was conducted amongst more than 70 companies active in Taiwan from a broad spectrum of industries. In addition, a series of in-depth interviews were held with organisation representatives in senior leadership positions. The results of the study will be published in a bilingual report, which will be presented at this event. Our list of attendees will include a number of government and industry speakers, and the event will conclude with a panel discussion.  


About The BCCTaipei Women in Business Network


The Women in Business Committee runs events to promote diversity in business and to highlight opportunities and strategies for women to be successful in business. Events are held to allow women and diversity champions to get together to discuss business issues, career advancement and expanding networks. Since 2010, the BCCTaipei Women in Business Network has offered a great opportunity to make new friends, share experiences as well as develop important business contacts and advance professional careers.


Aim of the Women in Business Network:

  1. To strengthen the voice of women in business
  2. To inspire women in Taiwan to feel empowered in their workplace
  3. To give participants information and perspectives on work-life balance
  4. To give participants a chance to discuss the above issues, and offer them opportunities for future collaboration
