In order to reduce the impact of its operations on the environment and to promote and manage environmental issues within the Yuanta Group in a more systematic manner, Yuanta FHC has formed an “Environmental Sustainability Group” through the administrative departments of Yuanta FHC and subsidiaries to develop environmental management systems (including relevant environmental protection and management measures pertaining to water conservation, energy saving, GHG reduction, etc.), purchase low energy-consuming office supplies and equipment, properly manage waste, implement supply chain management, and increase green procurement.

The “Environmental Sustainability Group” promotes the Yuanta Group’s implementation of the four major ISO standard systems. Since 2015, Yuanta FHC has started to implement the ISO 14001 environmental management systems to establish an environmental management framework, and to formulate environmental policies, plan environmental improvement goals and targets, and propose continuous management improvement programs.

In addition, the Yuanta Group has been implementing ISO 14064-1 GHG emissions inventory, ISO 50001 energy management systems, and ISO 14046 water footprint inventory in accordance with the ISO 14001 environmental management system framework, and has been effectively executing carbon reduction, energy saving, water conservation, and business waste control to improve the overall environmental management efficiency.

In January 2016, we became an investor signatory of the “CDP Climate Change, Water and Forests Project”. Since then, every year we have responded to the questionnaire to assess the risks and opportunities brought by climate change, reviewed the organization’s climate governance and risk management, and implemented various energy-saving and carbon-reducing actions and green financial services to reduce the impact of our operations on the environment. We also hope that we can lead other enterprises to join the global trend toward low carbon, be in line with international standards, as well as enhance our climate resilience.

In the 2023 CDP Climate Change Questionnaire, our Company achieved high scores in GHG emissions, emission reduction activities, risk disclosure, value chain engagement, and climate risk assessment of investment and financing portfolios, and was ranked “Leadership Level score of A”, which is the highest CDP rating, for 4 consecutive years. Additionally, in Supplier Engagement Ratings, the Group has received “leader rating” for 5 consecutive years as of 2023.

1. From 2019 onwards, it is based on the new ISO 14064-1:2018 for GHG inventory, the new and old versions of the corresponding names: Category 1 for Scope 1 (direct GHG emissions), Category 2 for Scope 2 (indirect GHG emissions from input energy), Category 3 ~ 6 for Scope 3 (other indirect GHG emissions).
2. We control the Group-wide carbon emission target through the SBT methodology, and will conduct a review every 5 years and refine our carbon reduction efforts.
