Yuanta Financial Holding Company’s (FHC) sustainability achievements have once again been recognized by international professional evaluations, with the company selected as a constituent stock for this year’s (2026) Dow Jones Best-in-Class Indices (DJBIC). Yuanta FHC has been ranked in both the “World Index” and the “Emerging Markets Index” for seven consecutive years, firmly solidifying the position as a global sustainability benchmark in the financial industry and continues to lead Taiwanese companies toward sustainable net-zero goals. The Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) are the world’s first international sustainable investment indices centered on ESG (environmental, social, and governance) criteria. They are one of the key indicators for evaluating corporate sustainability performance. In 2025, they were renamed the DJBIC. The core philosophy of the selection process is now more closely aligned with the index methodology, and only the top ten percent (10%) of companies in each industry are included in the Standard & Poor’s Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). Yuanta FHC has long been committed to the transition to net-zero, with five major subsidiaries achieving balanced growth in their respective industries. In this year's assessment, which covered issues such as risk & crisis management, policy influence, climate strategy, human rights, and financial inclusion, Yuanta FHC reached a score in the top one percent (1%) globally in the group of diversified financial services and capital markets, demonstrating outstanding performance. Yuanta FHC has made the highest Climate A List in the CDP environmental assessment for six years in a row and has maintained the Leadership level for eight straight years, becoming a leading example in the domestic financial industry. Continuing to exert influence in sustainable finance, Yuanta FHC’s three subsidiaries—Yuanta Securities, Yuanta Bank, and Yuanta Funds—collaborated to finalize engagements with high-carbon-emission industries, attaining a top 25% ranking in the Financial Supervisory Commission’s (FSC) third Sustainable Finance Evaluation, effectively promoting the low-carbon and net-zero transformation of industries. As a member of the Coalition of Movers and Shakers on Sustainable Finance, Yuanta FHC is dedicated to strengthening the financial industry’s sustainable talent development system and practical capabilities. Together with the Securities and Futures Institute, Yuanta FHC serves as convener of the Empowerment and Certification Working Group under the Net-Zero Promotion Working Platform of the FSC. As of the first quarter of 2026, over 4,100 employees across the entire Yuanta Group had obtained the sustainable finance basic competency certification, driving the total number of certified professionals in Taiwan’s financial sector to exceed 50,000. This displays exceptional accomplishments in cultivating sustainable finance talent and advancing practical implementation.

To strengthen the financial sector’s commitment to net-zero transition and sustainable development, Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) recognized financial institutions that ranked in the top 25% of the third “Sustainable Finance Evaluation” on April 2. Yuanta Group has demonstrated outstanding performance in comprehensive sustainability indicators, as well as in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) areas. Our securities, banking, and investment trust (funds) subsidiaries actively cultivate talent in sustainable finance, working together with customers, employees, and partners to create long-term value and drive the industry and society toward a path of sustainable development. Among the 23 securities firms, 34 banks, and 15 investment trust companies evaluated, Yuanta Group was recognized as ranking in the top 25% of the industries. In line with the Yuanta Group Sustainable Development Strategy Roadmap, Yuanta Securities, Yuanta Bank, and Yuanta Funds have integrated the principles of sustainable business into their corporate culture and operational strategies. Centered on the theme of “Carbon-Reduced Operations, Moving Toward a Net-Zero Future,” they have implemented an Internal Carbon Pricing (ICP) mechanism and adopted Science Based Targets (SBT) to comprehensively promote low-carbon operations. The companies continue to align with international standards, ensure robust sustainability disclosures, and are committed to developing products and services that embody the spirit of sustainability. In 2025, Yuanta Securities served as the lead underwriter for the first sustainability-linked convertible bonds issued by a Taiwanese OTC (over the counter)-listed company, setting a precedent for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate in the sustainability bond market. Yuanta Securities has been ranked among the top 25% of securities firms in the Sustainable Finance Evaluation for two consecutive years. Yuanta Bank has deepened its assessment of climate-related opportunities and risks. Through engagement with companies and the provision of a diverse range of green financial products, Yuanta Bank has provided tangible support for industries’ low-carbon transition, ranking among the top performers in the evaluation for three years in a row. Yuanta Funds has strengthened its due diligence governance and continued to expand its influence in the cooperation among industry, government, and academia through USR (university social responsibility). In 2023, Yuanta Funds was the only investment trust firm in the industry to voluntarily publish a sustainability report, and the only one to be ranked in the top 25% for two straight years. For the Sustainable Finance Evaluation, the FSC, the Taiwan Academy of Banking and Finance, the Securities and Futures Institute, and other relevant organizations, along with external experts and scholars, establish the “Sustainable Finance Evaluation Committee.” The committee evaluates publicly available information—such as annual reports, corporate websites, or sustainability reports—disclosed by evaluated institutions in 2024, along with supporting documentation. The evaluation publishes a list of the top 25% of institutions in each sector to encourage high-performing financial institutions to serve as benchmarks.
