Yuanta Financial Holding Company (FHC) has been recognized as one of the “CommonWealth Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Sustainable 100” for four consecutive years for taking practical actions to implement ESG (environmental, social, and corporate governance) initiatives. Yuanta Futures, a subsidiary of Yuanta FHC, has been included in the list for the sixth time, and is the only winner in Taiwan’s futures industry. Yuanta Futures has also been awarded the inaugural CommonWealth Talent Sustainability Award, demonstrating Yuanta Group’s outstanding performance in the field of sustainability and continued expansion of sustainable influence.

Since 2007, CommonWealth Magazine has been organizing the CommonWealth CSR Sustainable Citizenship Awards, inviting experts and scholars to select the CommonWealth CSR Sustainable 100 with the best ESG performance based on the four dimensions of Corporate Governance, Corporate Commitment, Social Engagement, and Environmental Sustainability. Yuanta FHC’s outstanding performance in the dimensions of Corporate Governance and Environmental Sustainability was highly affirmed by the judges.

Sound corporate governance is the cornerstone of sustainable business operations. Yuanta FHC follows the Corporate Governance 3.0 Sustainable Development Road Map to strengthen the functions and effectiveness of directors of the board, and has formulated the Performance Management Measures to link the work objectives of senior managers with the business related to corporate sustainability, and to realize the objectives of sustainable development in concrete terms. Yuanta FHC was ranked in the top five percent (5%) of the Taiwan Stock Exchange’s Corporate Governance Evaluation System and was also certified by the Taiwan Corporate Governance Association’s Corporate Governance Framework Assessment with High Distinction.

Yuanta FHC has not only laid a solid foundation on the institutional level, but also promoted environmental sustainability with a high degree of execution, adopting a scientific and systematic approach to environmental and energy management. With the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, we have signed the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Net-Zero commitment, and conducted our own internal greenhouse gas inventory and gradually expanded it to our products, such as Yuanta Securities’ “Mr. Investor APP,” the first zero-carbon APP in Taiwan’s securities industry, and Yuanta Bank’s full range of credit cards, all of which are zero-carbon credit cards. In order to fulfill responsibility for the sustainable development of the financial industry, Yuanta FHC has established a green policy for investment and financing at the financial holding level, and has engaged with high-carbon emission investment and financing targets to assist Taiwan’s industries in their low-carbon transformation.

While focusing on the growth of business, Yuanta Futures also attaches great importance to corporate sustainable development, integrating ESG concepts into company operations. Furthermore, Yuanta Futures is the first futures company in Taiwan to implement a 100% green power branch and is committed to realizing the goal of sustainable management.
