Sustainable Development Goals
Abstract/Objectives
This study reviews relevant literature, and summarizes the preliminary framework of ESG indicators applied to the National Tsing Hua University. After revising indicators through the expert questionnaire, an attempt had been made to construct a formal hierarchical structure includes twenty-one indicators. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was employed in this study to establish an evaluation model. Based on the Quadruple Helix Model, relevant stakeholders are divided into “industry”, “government”, “academic” and “public” to answer AHP questionnaire surveys. Level of importance attached to the ESG overall result, as well as to each dimension of E, S, and G of the National Tsing Hua University can be found after analysis. This study could provide different results, regarding the direction of the university's sustainable institutional development. Further methods can be found in the future so as to establish a practical ESG evaluation system, as well as providing ESG policy suggestions.
