Leveraging solid technical expertise and continuous innovation, EDF plays a pivotal role in advancing Taiwan’s green transition. Our core mission encompasses eco-labeling and green product certification, carbon and water footprint verification, corporate ESG consultation, industrial water recycling, and organic waste-to-energy technologies.
