As one of the leading financial institutions in Asia, CTBC Holding adopts a sustainability strategy guided by the three pillars of "Sustainable Growth," "Responsible Operations," and "A Connected Society," and follows through on its "TRUST" commitment-an acronym we coined to emphasize the importance of corporate governance (Transparency), environmental sustainability (Responsibility), employee welfare (Understanding), customer service (Satisfaction), and community engagement (Together). And, in addition to proactively responding to the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), CTBC also promotes the low-carbon economy and inclusive finance as well as implement sustainable operations through low-carbon transition and sustainability transformation.

CTBC Holding has received the highest possible grade in the Taiwan Corporate Governance Association’s 2021 Corporate Governance Evaluation.

Holding was one of only three companies — and the only financial enterprise — to earn the “Outstanding” rating, which was awarded for the parent company’s efforts as well as those of subsidiaries CTBC Bank and Taiwan Life.

Launched by the Taiwan Corporate Governance Association in 2005, the annual Corporate Governance Evaluation is Taiwan’s leading industry review of corporate governance policies in Taiwan. Assessments are made through meticulous reviews of applications as well as face-to-face interviews. In the 2021 evaluations, companies were judged based on four main indicators, namely “Protecting Shareholder Rights and Interests and Treating Shareholders Equitably”, “Enhancing Board Composition and Operation”, and “Increasing Information Transparency”, with additional points on offer for companies that went the extra mile in promoting a culture of corporate governance.
