Yuanta Financial Holding Company (FHC) has been recognized for its commitment to carbon reduction and sustainable finance. For the third consecutive year, Yuanta FHC has met the Paris Agreement's target of limiting temperature increases to 1.5℃, earning certification from the 2025 Corporate 1.5℃ Forum. This recognition coincides with the tenth anniversary of the Paris Agreement.

The Corporate 1.5℃ Forum is an annual event organized by CommonWealth Magazine that encourages Taiwanese companies to adhere to sustainability goals set by the Paris Agreement. The forum utilizes the Temperature Rising Index for Pathways (TRIPs) platform, which assesses whether companies' carbon reduction efforts align with global warming targets based on publicly disclosed data.

This year, TRIPs evaluated 1,200 enterprises, with nearly thirty percent achieving the temperature target. Yuanta FHC's achievements in this area have been further validated by certifications and recognitions such as being named a leader on climate performance in the Asia-Pacific region by both the Financial Times and Statista.

Yuanta FHC continues to disclose climate-related risks and opportunities through its Climate and Nature-Related Financial Disclosures Report, certified at "Level 5+: Excellence" by the British Standards Institution for three years running. Additionally, Yuanta FHC has maintained its position on CDP’s A List for five consecutive years and at Leadership Level for seven years.

Yuanta FHC remains committed to strengthening carbon reduction targets and improving operational resilience as part of its broader goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
