The Sports Administration has handled sports enterprise certification for eight years in succession, with a total of 574 enterprises certified, more than 1.06 million employees were benefited and an increasing number of enterprises have attached importance to employee sport. The 2023 Sports Enterprise Certification Launch Press Conference and Northern Area Explanatory Meeting were held on March 16. Since being introduced in 2016, Sports Enterprise Certification has been received enthusiastically by enterprises and employees across Taiwan, together building a sports common good ecosphere. Sports Enterprise Certification continued through the pandemic period and promotion of sports was maintained through an online application submission process and online activities.
The Sports Administration said the “Golden Honor List” was introduced in 2021. Enterprises that have retained Sports Enterprise Certification for 10 years in succession in a 15-year period can become “Golden Honor Enterprises”. This year is a key year because veteran enterprises that took part in certification from 2016 will gain the honor of being Golden Honor Enterprises if they are certified again this year. As well as being commended at the award ceremony, the enterprises will feature in reports and be eligible for priority invitation for Sports Administration related activities. 
Also, the Sports Enterprise Certification LINE＠ now has more than 3,000 members. As well as Sports Enterprise Certification related advice, sports event and activity news announcement and sports ecosphere enterprise priority receipt, the “Sports Enterprise Identity Card”, introduced in 2023, gives members more certification benefits. LINE＠ will also provide excusive activities for members and invite sports enterprise employees to take part.

Many certified enterprises from 2022 this year served as partners, the well-known enterprise brands including Yuen Foong Yu Consumer Products Co., Ltd. Chingshui Plant, MacroHI Ltd., Umai Group and Taoyuan Metro, all happily contributing enterprise resources and supporting the Sports Administration towards the objective of developing sports for all; Decathlon Taiwan shared its experiences of promoting employee sports as a certified sports enterprise; Taiwan Power Company and ADLink participated in certification from 2016 and were certified again this year to join the first Golden Honor List; and HT Investment Inc., part of the same group as Heyu Enterprise, an enterprise certified last year, applied for its own certification.
