With the vision of net-zero emissions by 2050, Yuanta Financial Holding Company (FHC) has signed the net-zero pledge, and has integrated the philosophy of net-zero transformation into operation management and decision-making through four major areas of low-carbon operations, sustainable finance, low-carbon supply chain, and sustainability initiatives. This year (2025) is the third year in a row Yuanta FHC has met the Paris Agreement’s target of limiting the temperature increase to 1.5℃ with outstanding performance in carbon reduction. Yuanta FHC was honored with the certification from the 2025 Corporate 1.5℃ Forum for the accomplishment. The award was particularly meaningful as this year also marked the tenth anniversary of the Paris Agreement.
The Corporate 1.5℃ Forum, organized by the CommonWealth Magazine, is an annual event echoing the Paris Agreement and invites Taiwan benchmark companies for sustainability to respond to the 1.5℃ temperature target. Established in 2022, the Temperature Rising Index for Pathways (TRIPs) platform is the only platform in Taiwan that utilizes the methodology by United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and aligns temperature determination with global warming pathways. TRIPs simulates temperature pathway of each enterprise based on the carbon reduction targets and carbon emission data that the company has publicly disclosed through platforms such as the sustainability report, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and the RE100 initiative, and uses it to show whether the company’s carbon reduction efforts align with the target of keeping the rise in temperature within 1.5℃, demonstrating to the global community that Taiwanese enterprises are committed to protect the planet. The results of 1,200 enterprises were disclosed on the platform this year, with nearly thirty percent achieving the target.
Yuanta FHC and the group implement and disclose climate and nature- related risk and opportunity management. Our Climate and Nature-Related Financial Disclosures Report has been certified by the British Standards Institution (BSI) at the highest level of “Level 5+: Excellence” for three consecutive years. This year Yuanta FHC is again named as one of the Asia-Pacific Climate Leaders on the 2025 list by the Financial Times and the international research company Statista, which assesses companies in 14 countries in the Asia-Pacific region on their climate performance. Yuanta FHC continues to strengthen carbon reduction targets and improve operation resilience and has made CDP’s A List, the highest honor, for five consecutive years, and has been ranked at the Leadership Level for seven years in a row, making us as a leader in the financial industry.
