Yuanta Financial Holding Company (FHC) responds to the international trend of carbon reduction by incorporating ESG (environmental, social, and governance) risk factors into daily operations and decision-making, and has received international recognition for sustainable management strength. We have made the A List for carbon disclosure, the highest honor, for five consecutive years, and have been ranked at the Leadership Level for seven years in a row, in the 2024 scores published by the CDP, a global non-profit environmental disclosure organization. Moreover, S&P Global, an international sustainability rating organization, announced its 2025 Sustainability Yearbook, in which Yuanta FHC has been selected for six years straight and placed in the top one percent (1%) of the world’s best companies, making Yuanta FHC a benchmark company in Taiwan’s financial industry. Yuanta FHC is the first financial institution in Taiwan to clearly price the “internalizing of the external costs” of greenhouse gas emissions, and has introduced various sustainability standards and ISO management systems to regularly track Yuanta Group’s carbon reduction performance. In terms of renewable energy utilization, by 2024, all subsidiaries of Yuanta Group have started to use green power, and new Yuanta-owned buildings have been equipped with solar panels, and energy management has been effectively implemented through intelligent energy monitoring and control. With a 30% coverage rate of green power usage in branch offices, Yuanta is currently the financial institution with the widest coverage in Taiwan. As a member of the Coalition of Movers and Shakers on Sustainable Finance, Yuanta FHC is committed to taking more proactive and concrete actions in the five major areas of green procurement, funding and engagement, information disclosure, assistance and promotion, and international outreach. Yuanta FHC signed the Net-Zero pledge of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), following the SBT methodology, to fully inventory and disclose the carbon emissions of investment and financing portfolios in the Climate and Nature-Related Financial Disclosures Report, in order to prudently respond to the risks of climate change for the entity and its restructuring. Following the review by the SBTi, Yuanta FHC, with the goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, continues to reduce carbon emissions from our own operations, comply with the Sustainable Finance Guidelines, and exert key impact in the financial industry, which has once again been acclaimed by the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook, an international sustainability rating organization with a high benchmark. The Yearbook takes into account the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) scores for the governance & economic, environmental, and social dimensions, and recognizes Yuanta FHC for our outstanding performance in each of these dimensions.

The Lunar New Year is the most important festival in Taiwan. In order to make the orphanage students feel the festive joy and social care during the Lunar New Year, Yuanta Financial Holding Company (FHC) and Yuanta Cultural and Educational Foundation (Foundation) organized two “Yuanta Happiness Days” on January 21 and 22, inviting 107 orphanage students from the northern part of Taiwan to visit famous sports stores to select sportswear and shoes as New Year’s gifts. 30 Yuanta volunteers participated in the two events, accompanying the children to celebrate the warm and meaningful New Year’s holiday in advance. Yuanta Happiness Day started before the 2012 Lunar New Year. The then chairwoman of Yuanta Foundation, Mrs. Li-Chuang Tu, also known as Grandma Tu to the children, once said, “The most exciting thing for the children during the Lunar New Year is to wear new clothes and shoes.” On the eve of the start of the school year after the Lunar New Year, Yuanta Foundation arranged for the orphanage students, accompanied by Yuanta volunteers, to choose their own new clothes and shoes at a department store. We hoped that this exclusive, heartwarming gift would bring support to the children, and we have since established the Yuanta Happiness Day, a meaningful event that has been passed down to the present day. A shuttle bus was arranged to transport the orphanage students to the sports store. Students’ faces were filled with joy as they carefully selected their favorite sportswear. Yuanta volunteers were eager to assist the students in choosing their clothing, providing advice on how to dress up, and sharing their own life experiences and anecdotes, making the event full of warmth and laughter. Volunteers said, “When the children grow up, they may remember that one Lunar New Year, some big brothers and big sisters accompanied them to pick out clothes, so that they could have a pleasant New Year’s memory, and that’s the role we play.” A volunteer also shared, “Yuanta Happiness Day warms children’s hearts with love, and it’s very touching to see the children’s happy smiles.” Yuanta FHC has been investing in child and adolescent care for a long time, realizing the commitment and original intention of the enterprise to give back to the society through practical actions. Over the past fourteen years, a total of 49 Yuanta Happiness Days have been organized, and 8,756 Happiness Gift Packs have been delivered under the warm companionship of 2,238 volunteers to give the schoolchildren exclusive gifts, encouraging them to be brave enough to pursue their dreams and embrace their future.
