[[alternative]]Eco-efficiency Indicator Framework for Industry--Take LCD Inustry As an Example

[[abstract]]由於液晶顯示器(LCD)在價格與功能的優勢，以及廣泛的產品應用，已使其成為傳統CRT映像管顯示器最大的競爭者。而國內除了擁有全球近半之筆記型電腦出貨量之外，最近多家廠商也相繼斥資生產大尺吋之LCD。而由最近國內各類型與尺寸之LCD的出口成長，更可以看出未來與LCD應用的相關產業，將是我國繼半導體產業之後另一波重要的明星產業。本研究根據WBCSD在前年(2000)經過全球企業之試行計畫，所建議的生態效益指標架構，研擬出LCD產業的生態效益指標及分析評估架構工具，並選定國內二家LCD製造業者，進行個案試算研究，結果顯示： 一、根據WBCSD之指標架構，並與參與廠商共同擬定之計算生態效益比值的財務與環境指標，經本研究的試算顯示可以呈現該公司之生態效益(資源生產力)的情況。 二、LCD產業指標架構可據以計算生態效益值，供相關產業公司管理改善決策參考與標竿比較，能了解改善行動的重要順序，同時可作為企業在提昇獲利能力及環境保護績效的決策參考工具。[[abstract]]Due to the superiority in price and functionality and its wide application as well, the liquid crystal display (LCD) has become the biggest competitor for traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) display. Currently, several Taiwanese companies have heavily invested in producing larger sizes of LCD. It seems that LCD’s manufacturing will become another star industry for Taiwan in the near future. Recent years, notion of eco-efficiency has become more and more popular for business to adopt and integrated into their operation. In this paper an eco-efficiency indicator framework, which originally developed by WBCSD, was adopted and modified for assessing both economic and environmental performance of LCD industry. Two LCD factories were selected for the case study. The study shows the following results: 1.The indicator framework used in this study has successfully displayed the status of eco-efficiency (resource productivity) of the sample company. 2.The eco-efficiency ratios calculated from the data provided by the company showed that these ratios could be used for companies to track their performance and to set the priority for future improvement, as well as to be the internal and external communication tool
