Sustainable Finance Policy

Taishin FHC understands that the financial industry has an impact on flow of funds and, therefore, formulated the Taishin FHC Green Finance Principles in 2018 with reference to the International Finance Corporation (IFC) exclusion list and UN Global Compact among other international principles. The Principles apply to all subsidiaries and various businesses within the group. It specifies subjects that should be supported and avoided and emphasizes that ESG risk management should be included in transaction review and post-transaction management. Taishin FHC and its subsidiaries have adjusted their business regulations or processes in accordance with the Green Fi[1]nance Principles. ESG risk assessment is conducted on 100% transactions and financial products of all subsidiaries. According to high-risk factor assessment results, industries involved in narcotics, manufacturing of illegal weap[1]ons, and gambling are customer attributes that we should decline to deal with or exclude from our business so as to practice the vision of responsible financing development.

 

In light of the fast-changing trends and growing attention paid to sustainable financing around the world, in 2023, Taishin established the Sustainable Finance Policy to replace the Green Finance Principles. The policy has been approved by the Board of Directors and details key points of recent developments in sustainable finance, including public commitment, ESG topics of concern, engagement and communication, and voting policy. We refer[1]enced international sustainable finance initiatives, such as the Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB) and Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), and comply with green finance related policies and the Stewardship Policy for Institutional Investors, in order to align with sustainable development trends and achieve better performance in sustainability practices.
