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.
