With the vision of net-zero emissions by 2050, Yuanta Financial Holding Company (FHC) has signed the net-zero pledge, and has integrated the philosophy of net-zero transformation into operation management and decision-making through four major areas of low-carbon operations, sustainable finance, low-carbon supply chain, and sustainability initiatives. This year (2025) is the third year in a row Yuanta FHC has met the Paris Agreement’s target of limiting the temperature increase to 1.5℃ with outstanding performance in carbon reduction. Yuanta FHC was honored with the certification from the 2025 Corporate 1.5℃ Forum for the accomplishment. The award was particularly meaningful as this year also marked the tenth anniversary of the Paris Agreement.  The Corporate 1.5℃ Forum, organized by the CommonWealth Magazine, is an annual event echoing the Paris Agreement and invites Taiwan benchmark companies for sustainability to respond to the 1.5℃ temperature target. Established in 2022, the Temperature Rising Index for Pathways (TRIPs) platform is the only platform in Taiwan that utilizes the methodology by United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and aligns temperature determination with global warming pathways. TRIPs simulates temperature pathway of each enterprise based on the carbon reduction targets and carbon emission data that the company has publicly disclosed through platforms such as the sustainability report, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and the RE100 initiative, and uses it to show whether the company’s carbon reduction efforts align with the target of keeping the rise in temperature within 1.5℃, demonstrating to the global community that Taiwanese enterprises are committed to protect the planet. The results of 1,200 enterprises were disclosed on the platform this year, with nearly thirty percent achieving the target. Yuanta FHC and the group implement and disclose climate and nature- related risk and opportunity management. Our Climate and Nature-Related Financial Disclosures Report has been certified by the British Standards Institution (BSI) at the highest level of “Level 5+: Excellence” for three consecutive years. This year Yuanta FHC is again named as one of the Asia-Pacific Climate Leaders on the 2025 list by the Financial Times and the international research company Statista, which assesses companies in 14 countries in the Asia-Pacific region on their climate performance. Yuanta FHC continues to strengthen carbon reduction targets and improve operation resilience and has made CDP’s A List, the highest honor, for five consecutive years, and has been ranked at the Leadership Level for seven years in a row, making us as a leader in the financial industry.

Net-zero transformation is the core of future development for major countries in the world. In order to gradually realize the national policy of net-zero emissions by 2050, Yuanta Financial Holding Company (FHC) actively exerts corporate influence and leads suppliers to invest in the cause through sustainable supply chain engagement. On May 27, Yuanta FHC held the first supplier ESG exchange meeting of this year (2025), with the theme of “Practicing Carbon Emission Management & Promoting Green Transformation.” The event included practical lessons on conducting carbon inventory and lectures on declaration and promotion of green procurement to help microbusinesses utilize their limited corporate resources and to contribute to the backbone of environmental sustainability. Yuanta FHC is one of the founding member financial holding companies of the Coalition of Movers and Shakers on Sustainable Finance which was established in 2022. Yuanta FHC will continue to deepen concrete actions, such as green procurement, disclosure of carbon emissions and engagements. Through annual supplier exchange meetings and compiling the latest international environmental trends, Yuanta FHC strengthens partners’ understanding and practice of green issues. In response to the announcement by Taiwan’s Ministry of Environment of the Executive Yuan to expand the scope of carbon inventory registration of carbon, Yuanta FHC has specially designed a course on carbon emission management for this meeting to help companies learn to conduct their own carbon inventory, so they can gradually achieve the sustainable goal of net-zero emissions through the process of “inventory,” “verification,” and “reduction.” The meeting also actively promotes a net-zero green lifestyle and has organized practical lectures on green procurement and declaration to guide suppliers to make the sustainable transformation and create a green supply chain.  According to the statistics released by the Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs, the number of micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Taiwan has exceeded 1,674,000, a record high. They account for more than 98% of all enterprises and thus play a significant role in the nation's economic development. This supplier ESG exchange meeting focused on MSMEs and built on the physical engagement to turn the initiatives into real actions. Since 2020, Yuanta FHC has fully adopted the ISO 20400 sustainable procurement guidelines and implemented supplier evaluation and self-assessment mechanism annually. Suppliers are evaluated on their performances in six areas, including human rights, labor-related issues, ethical management and environmental sustainability, and guidance are provided individually to suppliers through engagement with actions to follow up on their specific improvement plans as a part of practicing sustainable supply chain management. Yuanta FHC hopes that through our policies, guidance, and corporate influence, we can work together to realize the core value of sustainable development.
