Mitigation and adjustment have become important issues for the sustainable opera- tion of businesses. As part of the financial industry, Taishin’s environmental impact comes mainly from electricity consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from its office buildings and operating bases. In support of the government's green policies and the goal of the "Paris Agreement" to control global temperature rise within 2 ℃ , Taishin adopted ISO 50001 and implemented regular energy review, measurement and monitoring to raise the efficiency of energy usage. Taishin has also set its goals to "save energy by at least 1% per year" over the next 5 years. In 2017, Taishin collaborated with the Bureau of Energy, Minis- try of Economic Affairs, to create an "Intelligent Energy Performance Management Information System," and became the first pilot company for this particular project. By introducing information tools, energy management personnel will have the means to explore areas of improvement and develop feasible solutions. For more details about our environmental goals, please refer to “Sustainable Topics Management.” With global warming causing extreme global climate changes, reducing greenhouse gas emissions has become the most important issue for the citizens of our planet. Taishin introduced ISO 14001 - Environmental Management System to Neihu Building and Taishin Tower in 2018 and evaluated environmental impacts from all aspects of the corporate value chain. These findings have enabled Taishin to execute various action plans aimed at achieving effective control and improvement of environmental performance. Moreover, Taishin has also implemented an "Environmental Sustainability Policy." While continuing to pursue business excellence, we also take into account the importance of environmental protection.
