Yuanta Financial Holding Company (FHC), as Taiwan’s first diversified financials institution to sign the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) net-zero emissions commitment, annually assesses greenhouse gas emissions from its own operations and investment portfolios. We demonstrate outstanding performance across four key areas: low-carbon operations, sustainable finance, low-carbon supply chains, and sustainability advocacy. As a result, Yuanta FHC has been honored with the “National Enterprise Environmental Protection Award,” Taiwan’s highest environmental accolade, by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE). Having received this award four times since 2021, we were specially commended this year with the “Honorary Environmental Protection Enterprise Trophy” for achieving the Silver Award for three consecutive years.
As a green pioneer, the Yuanta Group actively adopts energy-saving equipment to reduce energy consumption and strategically implements green electricity usage. By 2024, Yuanta FHC and its eight subsidiaries have all begun using green electricity. We also leverage our financial influence to promote sustainable procurement, supporting products with environmental, energy-saving, and green certifications. In 2024, the Yuanta Group’s total green procurement expenditure reached approximately NT$299 million, earning recognition from the MOE for thirteen straight years. We continue to support the MOE’s Green Point initiative, integrating it with the Yuanta 188 Sustainability Activity Relay Program and Earth Hour activities to encourage employees to embrace eco-friendly lifestyles.

Yuanta Bank has also introduced preferential low-carbon product loans to encourage customers to prioritize purchasing new-energy vehicles. Yuanta Funds pioneers the purchase of 25 funds via electronic payment accounts, offering customers greater convenience while reducing energy consumption and resource usage, advancing toward a sustainable financial vision.
As a mover and shaker in environmental sustainability, Yuanta FHC actively aligns with international standards, having been selected for the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) for six years in a row and ranked first globally in the group of Diversified Financial Services and Capital Markets three times. We have likewise made the Climate A List of the international environmental information disclosure organization CDP for five consecutive years, and maintained Leadership Level status for seven straight years. Furthermore, Yuanta FHC joined the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) in 2024 as one of the world’s Early Adopters and participated in the MOE’s “Net-Zero Green Living Alliance” in 2025.
