29 Taiwan Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association Amid the global net-zero transition, Europe and the United States have introduced mechanisms such as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and supply-chain decarbonization disclosure requirements, urging brands and manufacturers to adopt sustainable production practices. Taiwan is actively aligned with these efforts through its 2050 Net-Zero Emissions Pathway, implementing industrial carbon-reduction programs that assist enterprises in adopting low-carbon manufacturing, recycled materials, and circular economy models, while promoting carbon footprint transparency and green design. Sustainability is no longer merely a compliance requirement; it has become a vital driver of brand trust and international competitiveness, serving as a new engine for Taiwan’s sports industry growth. The development of Taiwan’s sports industry resembles a climber’s steady ascent along a rugged mountain path. Even when facing wind, rain, and steep terrain, it continues to move upward with determination toward broader horizons and greater ambitions. With policy support, technological innovation, and sustainable practices working in tandem, Taiwan is advancing toward a smarter, greener, and more innovative future, transforming from a manufacturing-driven economy into a value-oriented one, and climbing toward new global heights in sports technology. www.freepik.com
