- Abstract
Since the Industrial Revolution of 1750, excessive use of natural resources has worsened the global environment and severely consumed resources. More and more advanced countries are paying attention to environmental issues, and more international procurement requires sustainable production. International trade is the main economic lifeline of Taiwan. At the same time, the main source of GDP growth in Taiwan is the Information Technology (IT) industrials. Inevitably, it will be faced with the need to construct green design systems and performance evaluation models. These systems will help strengthen sustainable resource management in industries. Evaluate 13 of the world's TOP100 IT companies based on published industry statistics annual reports. The results show that only one company have a strong efficiency in the green design system. Five of the 13 green design companies can achieve marginal efficiency. The green design systems of the remaining seven companies are inefficient. In addition, recommendations for improving capital investment status are proposed through differential variable analysis. This research will help to enhance the investment management of green design system in the technology industry to meet the requirements of the future international environmental sustainability.
