Yuanta FHC Receives Global Views Monthly ESG Corporate Sustainability Award for Sustainable Practices to Promote a Better Future for Future Generations

As an international benchmark enterprise for sustainability, Yuanta Financial Holding Company (FHC) echoes the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and integrates environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) concepts into the corporate culture and operational strategies, implementing sustainable practices, making continuous progress and innovation, becoming a force for social and environmental change, and actively promoting a better future for future generations. We have been awarded the “Global Views Monthly ESG Corporate Sustainability Award” again this year (2023), and for the third (3rd) consecutive year, we have been awarded Exemplary Award in the category of “Comprehensive Performance - Financial Insurance Industry,” and will continue to exert sustainable influence to lead the sustainable transformation.

Global Views Monthly first established Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Awards in 2005, and this year it is entering its nineteenth (19th) year. Since there is a new consensus among governments and companies to use the terms ESG and sustainability, the content and criteria of the awards have been slightly revised to keep up with the times, and from this year onwards the name has been changed to “Global Views Monthly ESG Corporate Sustainability Awards.” The evaluation covers all aspects of corporate sustainable strategic planning, low-carbon environment, stakeholder engagement, transparency of information disclosure, corporate governance, organizational behavior and performance, etc., in order to fully evaluate the overall ESG performance of the company.

In the face of the risks, opportunities, and challenges brought about by climate and social changes, Yuanta FHC has adopted a scientific and systematic approach to environmental management, introduced ISO standards to enhance management efficiency, combined with an internal carbon pricing mechanism to actively reduce Yuanta Group’s carbon emissions, and further expanded the green influence by launching zero-carbon and low-carbon products and working with customers to respond to low-carbon living. We have not only been ranked at the Leadership Level of the CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) for five (5) consecutive years, but this year we were also recognized by the Supplier Engagement Rating Leaderboard, ranking in the top eight percent (8%) of 15,000 companies worldwide.

Yuanta FHC has been building a happy and healthy workplace in all aspects and constructing an environment of diversity, equality, and inclusion. Through the establishment of hardware facilities and the promotion of strategies, including workplace-related certifications, leave superior to the law, and employee assistance programs (EAPs), employees are encouraged to maintain a work-life balance and practice talent development, gender equality, and workplace safety, which has been recognized by domestic and international professional organizations. Yuanta FHC has also been nurturing outstanding talents for the society by promoting the “Yuanta Scholarship for Outstanding Underprivileged Talent” and the “Yuanta-Fu Jen Catholic University Dreams Take Flight Project” to encourage students to continue their studies and recruit outstanding talents from them. From study to employment, we cultivate talents and care for the society with warm actions.

Yuanta FHC has set sustainability performance indicators as the standard for corporate development and customer communication, and has achieved remarkable results. We have been selected as a member of both the Dow Jones Sustainability World and Emerging Markets Indexes (DJSI) for four (4) consecutive years and has been recognized with National Sustainable Development Award, the highest honor in the national sustainability field. We have also been invited to become a member of the Coalition of Movers and Shakers for Sustainable Finance of Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission to play the role of a leading goose in the field of sustainability and create a sustainable future together.
