Yuanta Financial Holding Company (FHC) has been recognized for sustainability achievements and has been awarded the Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards (TCSA). In addition to receiving the Corporate Sustainability Report - Platinum Award for the sixth consecutive year, Yuanta FHC has also been awarded the Taiwan Top 100 Sustainable Model Enterprise Award, actively demonstrating the impact of sustainability and common good.

The TCSA is in its seventeenth year. This year, the number of participants reached 164, and 1,731 renowned experts and scholars were invited to jointly evaluate the awards, which are linked to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, and select the outstanding enterprises. Yuanta FHC publishes credible and high-quality sustainability reports every year, communicates with stakeholders with transparent and complete sustainability information, and obtains independent verification from third-party organizations, which fully reflects Yuanta FHC’s efforts in sustainability information management and improving the quality of disclosure.

The financial industry plays a central role in helping companies move towards sustainability. As a member of the Coalition of Movers and Shakers on Sustainable Finance and the convener of the Empowerment and Certification Working Group of the Net-Zero Promotion Working Platform, Yuanta FHC has not only completed the formulation of a code of practice for sustainable finance practitioners, but also assisted the Securities and Futures Institute in promoting Taiwan’s first sustainable finance license. Yuanta FHC is also enthusiastically carrying out the sustainable talent cultivation program, officially announcing a NT$1,300 subsidy for each employee to apply for a basic sustainable finance license, laying a solid foundation for Taiwan’s sustainable development.

Yuanta FHC is concerned about the impact of climate change and has implemented an ISO environmental management system through matrix management, and has completed a carbon inventory of investment and financing assets. We lead the industry in internalizing external costs by introducing an internal carbon pricing system (ICP). We have demonstrated our commitment to environmental sustainability by actively participating in international initiatives, including being one of the global Early Adopters of the Nature-Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), joining the Partnership for Biodiversity Accounting Financials (PBAF) as a supporter, and signing a commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

In order to continue to promote sustainable financial products, Yuanta FHC has been vigorously utilizing financial influence to increase Yuanta Group’s engagement and divestment strategies in high carbon emission related industries. Yuanta Securities, a subsidiary of Yuanta FHC, has passed the product carbon footprint and carbon neutrality certifications for its “Mr. Investor APP” and has also assisted Taiwan’s Ministry of the Environment in formulating the Product Category Rules (PCR) for “Securities, Futures, and Investment Trust and Consulting Online Services,” and is the first securities company in Taiwan to obtain a carbon label for its “Online Investment and Wealth Management Services,” working together with customers and investors to build a low-carbon and sustainable financial ecosystem.
