Yuanta Financial Holding Company (FHC) has long integrated environmental sustainability into business operations and financial services, and has been honored with the “National Enterprise Environmental Protection Award” of Taiwan’s Ministry of Environment for the fifth time. In the face of the challenges posed by climate change, we have started with our own operations, using a systematic approach to promote science-based carbon reduction, energy and resource management, and circular procurement. Yuanta FHC carries out sustainable development in financial services, supply chain management, and environmental initiatives, continuously leveraging the financial industry’s influence to engage customers, suppliers, employees, and the general public. Through concrete actions, we demonstrate the diverse achievements the financial industry can make in advancing environmental sustainability.
From reducing carbon emissions and increasing the use of green energy to improving resource efficiency, Yuanta FHC is advancing low-carbon operations on multiple fronts. In accordance with the Science Based Targets (SBT) for carbon reduction, Yuanta FHC had mapped out a carbon reduction pathway to reduce carbon emissions by 27.26% in 2025 compared to the base year (2020). Regarding the adoption of green electricity, all eight subsidiaries of Yuanta Group are now using green electricity, with the proportion of green electricity usage reaching approximately 16% in 2025—a rise of about 23% compared to 2024. In addition to prioritizing the procurement of green electricity, Yuanta FHC has also continued to optimize supply chain management, earning recognition as an “Outstanding Green Procurement Enterprise” from the Taipei City Government for fifteen consecutive years. Furthermore, through investment and financing management as well as sustainable financial products, Yuanta FHC channels capital to support the low-carbon transition.
While improving operational efficiency, Yuanta FHC continues to accelerate the digitization of services. Through online applications, electronic processing, and paperless workflows, we have reduced paper and energy consumption. Yuanta FHC has also actively adopted artificial intelligence (AI) technology to enhance the effectiveness of financial services and risk management. By 2025, we had effectively reduced fraudulent and money-laundering transactions by nearly 90 percent, blocking approximately NT$700 million. Yuanta Securities, a subsidiary of Yuanta FHC, has simultaneously launched the “Source Identification Platform—Fraud Gatekeeper” on its official website and the Mr. Investor APP to help investors instantly verify the authenticity of information sources; Yuanta Bank has developed the “SkyNet and Satellite AI Anti-Fraud Model” to detect abnormal account transactions, delivering tangible results in financial security and society-wide fraud prevention.
Yuanta FHC has consistently received recognition in international sustainability rankings, having been included in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class (DJBIC) indices for seven years in a row, has made the Climate A List of the international environmental information disclosure organization CDP for six straight years, and has maintained the top “Leadership Level” distinction for eight consecutive years. We have firmly established ourselves as a global sustainability benchmark in the financial industry, aligning with domestic and international net-zero trends and leveraging our influence to drive the industry and society toward sustainable development goals.
