杜絕漂綠行為：未核定產品碳足跡標示最高罰百萬元

為推動企業加強溫室氣體減量並實現淨零排放目標，環境部今日預告「自願性產品碳足跡管理辦法」草案。該草案明確規定，未經核定的產品不得標示碳足跡資訊，違者將面臨1萬元至100萬元不等的罰鍰，以杜絕漂綠行為。

In order to promote enterprises to strengthen greenhouse gas reduction and achieve net-zero emission goals, the Ministry of Environment today announced the draft "Voluntary Product Carbon Footprint Management Measures". The draft clearly stipulates that unverified products shall not be labeled with carbon footprint information, and violators will face fines ranging from 10,000 yuan to 1 million yuan to prevent greenwashing.

加強產品碳足跡核定與管理

根據環境部發布的新聞稿，此草案旨在建立健全的產品碳足跡揭露制度，推動事業核算並揭露產品碳足跡排放量。預告期間為30天，環境部將廣徵各界意見，完善相關規範。

Strengthen product carbon footprint verification and management

According to a press release issued by the Ministry of Environment, this draft aims to establish a sound product carbon footprint disclosure system, promote business accounting and disclose product carbon footprint emissions. The notice period is 30 days, and the Ministry of Environment will solicit opinions from all walks of life to improve relevant regulations.

事業如需揭露產品碳足跡，需依以下程序向中央主管機關申請核定：

環境部進一步指出，草案特別強調產品碳足跡的計算標準化，確保同類產品具備一致的計算範圍。同時，要求企業提供全廠產量及能資源分配數據，作為碳足跡核算的基礎。每項核定的產品碳足跡有效期限為兩年，期滿需重新申請，以確保數據的準確性與時效性。

If an enterprise needs to disclose the carbon footprint of its products, it must apply to the central competent authority for approval according to the following procedures:

The Ministry of Environment further pointed out that the draft places special emphasis on standardizing the calculation of product carbon footprints to ensure that similar products have a consistent calculation range. At the same time, companies are required to provide plant-wide output and energy resource allocation data as the basis for carbon footprint accounting. Each approved product carbon footprint is valid for two years, and a new application is required upon expiration to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the data.

強化查驗機構管理與合作機制

為確保產品碳足跡查驗的規範性與透明度，環境部同步修正「溫室氣體認證機構及查驗機構管理辦法」，新增相關規定：

環境部也聯合經濟部及農業部，共同推動查驗機構的成立，增設查驗項目，並加強人員培訓，提升查驗品質與數量，滿足市場需求。

Strengthen inspection agency management and cooperation mechanisms

In order to ensure the standardization and transparency of product carbon footprint inspection, the Ministry of Environment has simultaneously revised the "Management Measures for Greenhouse Gas Certification Agencies and Inspection Agencies" and added relevant regulations:

The Ministry of Environment has also joined forces with the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Agriculture to jointly promote the establishment of inspection agencies, add inspection projects, strengthen personnel training, improve inspection quality and quantity, and meet market demand.

違規標示的法律責任與社會影響

Legal liability and social impact of illegal markings

草案明訂，未經核定的產品不得擅自標示碳足跡資訊，以防止漂綠行為的發生。違規企業將面臨1萬元至100萬元的罰鍰，對惡意誤導消費者的行為形成有力的法律震懾。環境部指出，此舉旨在建立消費者對碳足跡標示的信任，並激勵企業積極參與減碳行動。同時，這一制度也為市場上的可持續商品提供了公平競爭的環境。

The draft clearly stipulates that unapproved products are not allowed to label carbon footprint information without authorization to prevent greenwashing. Violating companies will face fines ranging from 10,000 yuan to 1 million yuan, forming a strong legal deterrent against malicious misleading of consumers. The Ministry of Environment pointed out that this move aims to build consumer trust in carbon footprint labeling and encourage companies to actively participate in carbon reduction actions. At the same time, this system also provides a level playing field for sustainable products in the market.

結語：推動淨零轉型的里程碑

Conclusion: Milestones driving the net-zero transition

「自願性產品碳足跡管理辦法」的預告標誌著台灣邁向淨零經濟的重要一步。透過嚴格的核定程序和法律約束力，環境部期望促進企業提高碳排放透明度，並引導市場朝向可持續發展的方向。未來，隨著相關配套措施的逐步完善，企業在節能減碳領域的創新將成為重要競爭力。這不僅是應對氣候變遷的必要之舉，更是提升國際市場競爭力的關鍵策略。

The announcement of the "Voluntary Product Carbon Footprint Management Measures" marks an important step towards Taiwan's net-zero economy. Through strict approval procedures and legal binding, the Ministry of Environment hopes to promote companies to improve carbon emission transparency and guide the market in the direction of sustainable development. In the future, with the gradual improvement of relevant supporting measures, enterprise innovation in the field of energy conservation and carbon reduction will become an important competitiveness. This is not only a necessary step to deal with climate change, but also a key strategy to enhance competitiveness in the international market.
