Yuanta FHC & Yuanta Futures Win CommonWealth CSR Sustainable Citizenship Awards Again for Implementing Corporate Sustainable Governance Culture

Yuanta Financial Holding Company (FHC) was selected for the “CommonWealth Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Sustainable Citizenship Award” for five consecutive years, and won the fifth place in the category of Large Enterprises-Financial Industry out of 200 benchmark enterprises. Yuanta Futures, a subsidiary of Yuanta FHC, has been on the list for seven times, winning the first place in the Little Giants category with an annual revenue of less than NT$5 billion, as well as the CommonWealth Talent Sustainability Award. These achievements demonstrate that Yuanta Group has implemented a culture of sustainable corporate governance and has continued to exert financial influence to lead the industry and the society to move towards a net-zero future together, which is highly appreciated by the judges.

Since 2007, CommonWealth Magazine has been organizing the CommonWealth CSR Sustainable Citizenship Awards, which is greatly regarded by all sectors of the community. Adopting strict quantitative indicators and a professional judging panel mechanism, the award is evaluated in four major dimensions, including corporate governance, corporate commitment, social engagement, and environmental sustainability. Yuanta FHC has been recognized as one of the top five percent (5%) of listed companies in Corporate Governance Evaluation by the Taiwan Stock Exchange for eight years for outstanding performance in advancing ESG (environmental, social, and governance) practices. Yuanta FHC will achieve the goal of diversifying the board of directors by one-third by 2025, and six subsidiaries already have female directors or supervisors. In addition, in order to provide customers with the safest financial environment, Yuanta FHC and the five subsidiaries have appointed chief information officers to establish a Group-wide financial security joint defense system.

Yuanta FHC is one of the members of the Coalition of Movers and Shakers of Sustainable Finance, which actively promotes sustainable finance and leads the low-carbon transformation of industries. This year’s “Taiwan Net-Zero ESG Index” developed by Taiwan Index Plus Corporation in cooperation with S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC has only three financial stocks among its top ten constituents, and Yuanta FHC is one of them. Yuanta has also responded to the national 2050 net-zero target by gradually reducing the Group’s carbon emissions to 10.40% by 2023, exceeding the original eight percent (8%) carbon reduction target set by the Group. Yuanta FHC has moreover incorporated the concept of circular procurement into the Supplier Sustainable Procurement Guidance and the Sustainable Procurement Declaration to enhance suppliers’ awareness of resource recycling. Furthermore, respecting the Tamsui River Convention, Yuanta FHC not only calls on employees, family members, and suppliers to participate in beach cleaning, but also invites suppliers to sign the Tamsui River Convention to jointly protect the ecological environment.

With the goal of becoming a benchmark enterprise for sustainability, Yuanta FHC has been selected into the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index and Emerging Markets Index for five consecutive years, ranking first in the world in the category of Diversified Financial Services and Capital Markets. Yuanta FHC has also responded to sustainability initiatives by joining the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) as a TNFD Early Adopter in 2024, and becoming a supporter of the Partnership for Biodiversity Accounting Financials (PBAF) to keep pace with the global community of companies.

Yuanta Futures vigorously promotes green financial products and a variety of social engagement programs, and is the first futures company in Taiwan to use green power in all of its operations, which was recognized with the CommonWealth CSR Sustainable Citizenship Award and the CommonWealth Talent Sustainability Award. Yuanta Futures likewise enthusiastically builds a diversified and harmonious working environment, pays attention to the physical and mental health of employees, encourages participation in social welfare activities, and strives to build a corporate image of professional services, friendliness, and warmth. Ultimately, Yuanta Futures is committed to “EPS (earnings per share) + ESG” sustainable management, which is deeply embedded in the corporate DNA, and continues to stride forward to the goal of being “the most trusted futures broker in Asia.”
