[ESG Forum] 2025 Digital Finance ESG Sustainable Management Education Forum
The College of Management at Fu Jen Catholic University, in collaboration with the Chinese Knowledge Economy Association, grandly hosted the “2025 Digital Finance ESG Sustainable Management Education Forum” on Friday, November 21, attracting nearly 130 distinguished guests from government, industry, and academia for in-depth exchange and dialogue. The forum focused on sustainable finance and talent development in the context of climate change and technological transformation, with expert speakers offering profound insights on topics ranging from green finance policies, AI and sustainable governance, the philosophy of the Middle Way, to the role of educational innovation.
In the morning session, representatives from the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, CTBC Financial Management College, and Taipei University of Business shared perspectives on the challenges of sustainable finance, the disruptions brought about by AI, and the critical role of education in advancing sustainability.
During the luncheon session, distinguished guests including President Lan, former Minister of Education Ching-Kuo Wu, and President Szu-Ling Lin of Providence University were present to offer remarks.
President Lan highlighted Fu Jen Catholic University’s efforts and progress in sustainability impact, as well as the University’s GRACE (Dual Graces) educational philosophy and its emphasis on student competencies. Former Minister Wu also expressed strong recognition of Fu Jen’s achievements in promoting sustainability education.
The afternoon session opened with the Chinese Association for AI and ESG Sustainability, which began by referencing this year’s Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences on “innovation-driven economic growth.” The discussion emphasized that the knowledge economy requires an open society that encourages experimentation in order to foster sustainable innovation. This was followed by a presentation from the Taiwan Academy of Banking and Finance, which examined the interconnections among international trade, savings, investment, and national income, and explained their implications for sustainable investment.
The panel discussion, moderated by Vice Dean Li-Meng Lee of the College of Management, explored topics including the blueprint for a sustainable campus, U.S.–China trade dynamics and competition over rare earth resources, AI computing power and technological transformation, and the adoption of sustainable management systems by enterprises. Professor Ming-Chou Hung also cautioned that while AI can be a powerful tool, its use should enhance students’ independent thinking and innovative capabilities, rather than leading to overreliance that may hinder personal growth.
Bringing together diverse perspectives on sustainable governance, financial innovation, and the mission of education, the forum illuminated new possibilities for the future of society.
