Fubon Financial Holdings' sustainability performance has once again received international recognition! On February 18, the international sustainability rating agency S&P Global released The Sustainability Yearbook 2026. Fubon Financial Holdings ranked among the top 5% globally in the insurance industry and has been selected for the Sustainability Yearbook for ten consecutive years, demonstrating Fubon's long-term achievements in advancing sustainability initiatives.
In the 2026 Sustainability Yearbook, over 9,200 companies participated in the selection process, but ultimately, only 848 companies from 59 industries were included. The member list was determined based on the scores obtained by companies in the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) conducted by S&P Global in 2025, reflecting the outstanding sustainability performance of the selected companies within their respective industries. Since 2017, Fubon Financial Holdings has been featured in the Sustainability Yearbook for ten consecutive years. In January of this year, it was awarded a digital badge by S&P Global for "Ten Years of Participation in the CSA Questionnaire," recognizing Fubon's commitment to transparency in sustainability information and its ongoing efforts to enhance sustainable practices.
Richard M. Tsai, Chairman of Fubon Financial Holdings, stated that Fubon Financial Holdings not only consistently aligns with international standards in sustainability but has also maintained its position as Taiwan's most profitable financial holding company in terms of earnings per share for 17 consecutive years. This demonstrates that sustainable development and corporate profitability are mutually reinforcing, with companies prioritizing sustainability better positioned to plan ahead and advance steadily. As a leading financial institution in Taiwan, Fubon Financial does not view sustainability as a cost but rather as a strategic investment in the future. This approach builds resilience and inclusivity within the organization, fostering long-term global competitiveness.
Fubon Financial Holdings has redefined its sustainability strategies since 2021, focusing on decarbonization, digitalization, empowerment, and connection. The company has established medium- to long-term goals to be achieved by 2030, continuously monitoring the progress of various quantitative indicators and dynamically optimizing them to effectively implement sustainable actions. Notably, the highly scrutinized "decarbonization" strategy sees Fubon Financial Holdings and its subsidiaries fully supporting the sustainable transformation of Taiwan's industries. By 2025, the achievements in green finance have already surpassed NT$2.7 trillion, prompting an increase in the green finance target for 2030 from NT$2.9 trillion to NT$3.2 trillion. Additionally, a more aggressive decarbonization timeline has been proposed for 2025, aiming for a complete exit from coal-related industries by the end of 2030 and a full withdrawal from investments and underwriting in non-conventional oil and gas industries by the end of 2040, unless aligned with carbon reduction transformation plans consistent with the Paris Agreement. This collaborative effort aims to facilitate the sustainable transformation of industries.
Additionally, Fubon Financial Holding also aspires to leverage its influence to drive the industry toward low-carbon transformation. Beyond continuing to organize carbon reduction workshops and engage in stakeholder dialogue with clients, it annually hosts supplier ESG exchange sessions, training programs, evaluations, and dialogues. In 2025, it pioneered the "Fubon Supplier Sustainability Partnership Action Declaration," collaborating with the industry through diverse channels to achieve mutual benefit. By leveraging its scale to support smaller players, it aims to build a low-carbon, sustainable value chain.
Fubon Financial Holdings has also achieved its goal of planting 100,000 trees ahead of schedule by 2025 through its "Run For GreenĀ®" initiative, which integrates four major marathon events. Furthermore, to enhance climate awareness and promote education, Fubon Financial Holdings innovated the application of carbon credits in 2025. Beyond using carbon credits to offset emissions generated by marathon events, Fubon also provided them to international teams traveling to Taiwan to participate in the NTU Net-Zero Technology Competition, enabling them to offset the carbon emissions from air travel. Through such practical actions, Fubon actively promotes sustainable values and climate responsibility.
Fubon Financial Holdings has been selected as a constituent of the Dow Jones "World Index" for the 8th consecutive year and has also been selected as a constituent of Dow Jones "Emerging Markets Index" for 9th consecutive year. The company has also been recognized by TIME as one of the "World 's Most Sustainable Companies" for the 2nd consecutive year, ranking 32nd globally across various industries and 4th among global financial industry (Banking, Insurance & Financial Services Industry) in 2025. In the future, Fubon Financial Holdings will continue to actively promote sustainability and harness the positive power of finance to collaboratively create a resilient and inclusive new sustainable society.
