對於全球的企業公司來說，永續是當今最熱門且不可避免的議題。即使永續發展的成熟度還不及西方國家在此議題上的發展，永續發展依然是條值得投資的路。有鑑於傳統產業對於台灣經濟奇蹟的貢獻，此篇論文將著重於在傳統產業永續發展策略的研究。文獻研究顯示永續發展對公司企業來說是很有助益的。消費者們也都喜歡投資與購買對永續發展有貢獻的公司。同時，研究顯示推動永續發展是需要持續且長遠的努力。此論文以宏遠興業公司為研究例子並藉由訪談了解其公司永續發展的組織圖、計劃、目標以及未來期望。研究結果顯示宏遠採用了學術架構以管理公司人員並且邀請業界顧問一同來完成宏遠在永續發展上的活動。因著完善且充足的準備、高層的支持、善與創新，宏遠才能實現他們在永續發展上的目標並持續往下一步邁進。

Sustainability has become a popular and inevitable topic for companies all over the world. Although the maturity of the sustainability concept was not as complete as in western countries, doing sustainability was still a journey that is worth investing. Concerning the fact that the traditional industry has helped boost the economic miracle of Taiwan, this paper aims at researching on the development of sustainability practices and strategies of traditional industry. Previous studies showed that it is beneficial for companies to do sustainability. Consumers now prefer to invest and purchase from those who devoted themselves in sustainability activities. Studies also showed doing sustainability required continuous effort and the outcome can be seen in a long run. To give more support evidence, Everest Textile, a textile company based in Tainan, Taiwan was taken as the study object. Two interviews were conducted to understand their sustainability practices in terms of the organizational framework, planning, goals and future expectation. The findings show that Everest does adopt a certain framework to structure the personnel and look for professional advice to complete their plan on sustainability campaign. With full preparation, support from the managerial level and innovation and goodwill, Everest was able to fulfill their goal and move on to the next goal.
