Every year, the Environmental Protection Administration of the Republic of China holds the 'Annual Enterprises Environmental Protection Award' (AEEPA). The award is designed to encourage enterprises or organizations who implement environmentally-friendly methods of operation; and, in doing so, to spur enterprises with less environmentally-friendly policies to follow suit.
Competition for the award is intense, and evaluation of the vying organizations is divided into two separate phases: preliminary evaluation and final evaluation. The former involves an analysis of the organization's attributes on paper; the latter comprises an "on-site" assessment.
Only a handful of organizations make it into the final evaluation. And this year, Tamkang was one of them. On July 21, nine "assessment commissioners" arrived at the TKU Tamsui Campus. They were received by the President of TKU, Dr. Flora Chia-I Chang, and the TKU Vice President for Administrative Affairs, Dr. Po-yuan Kao. The commissioners listened to a briefing by the Dean of General Affairs, Dr. Jeng Hoang-ell, who explained the difficulties TKU faced in implementing environmental policies given the locations of the Tamsui and Lanyang Campuses, and the subsequent solutions sought. Such solutions have culminated in a range of substantive advances, like the establishment of the TKU Center for Environment Protection, Safety, and Health, and recognition in the form of a "Green Building Award", issued by the Ministry of the Interior for TKU's building of the Lanyang Campus. Following the briefing, the commissioners were taken on a tour of the Tamsui Campus' various facilities.
The winner of this year's AEEPA will be announced in October.
