Yuanta Financial Holding Company (FHC) has been spreading love with passion and is not afraid of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In the wake of the pandemic, blood banks across Taiwan have been alerted. Yuanta FHC organized a campaign of Blood Donation Month in April and a total of 707 people participated, collecting 924 bags of warm blood. Yuanta FHC has been promoting blood donation activities for ten years, with a cumulative number of bags donated reaching 17,032. This year, Yuanta FHC was once again recognized by the Taiwan Blood Services Foundation and was awarded the “Outstanding Blood Donor Group” for the fifth consecutive year. A manager of Yuanta, who participated in the blood donation, shared that there was a period when she was unable to donate blood because of low blood pressure and insufficient hemoglobin due to staying up late. But later she adjusted her work schedule and supplemented her nutrition, and finally she was able to continue to donate blood. “What a blessing it is to donate blood. It is not only to help others, but also represents that you are healthy!” The manager said. A Yuanta staff, who donated blood for the first time, said, “I was very nervous to donate blood for the first time, and it was very scary to see how thick the needles were for blood donation!” But after thinking more about it, he thought it would be meaningful to donate a bag of blood to help others, and he will participate again in blood drives in the future. In response to the coronavirus pandemic, Yuanta FHC adjusted the campaign content of Yuanta Blood Donation Day by abolishing fixed-point blood donation vans and replacing them with an online campaign. Through its Facebook fan pages “Yuanta GoodNews” and “Yuanta Love Unlimited,” Yuanta FHC spread the message of public welfare, called on its employees and the public to join the blood drive, and played an active role as a public welfare platform through self-media publicity. Furthermore, Yuanta FHC donated picnic mats and water bottles to “blood-donating warriors” in three blood donation centers in Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung. During the campaign, the number of blood bags collected by the Taichung Blood Donation Office doubled compared to the same period last year, and the campaign was well received, effectively alleviating the blood shortage. Over the years, Yuanta FHC has actively invited residents, companies, and police departments in the neighborhood near its own buildings to join blood drives to spread love, providing the strongest backing for blood inventory. Yuanta FHC is committed to fulfilling its corporate social responsibility through practical actions and expects more people to join the ranks of blood donation, so that while rolling up our sleeves and donating blood, we can also disseminate our blessings and bring more warmth to the society.

The Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) and Taipei Exchange (TPEx) under the framework of the new corporate governance blueprint of the Financial Supervisory Commission R.O.C. (Taiwan) have set “enhancing the effectiveness of corporate governance assessment” as the first strategic goal. To continue to promote the sound development of corporate governance of listed and OTC companies, TWSE and TPEx from October 2019 to January 2020 promoted self-assessment exercises by companies themselves according to the assessment of the four major indicators of “safeguarding shareholders’ rights and interests and treating shareholders equally,” “strengthening the structure and operation of the board of directors,” “enhancing information transparency” and “implementing corporate social responsibility.” As the results of this assessment will be used as a reference for the selection of the TWSE’s Taiwan Corporate Governance 100 Index and the TPEx’s Over-the-Counter Corporate Governance Index, the results of this assessment are also highly valued by market investors.
