Cathay FHC Policy on Mutual Prosperity in Society

Cathay FHC upholds the spirit of “Happiness is giving happiness” by observing and responding to the needs of Taiwan’s society through a complete volunteer network. We established the Cathay Public Welfare Policy in 2016 after reviewing our long-term public welfare measures based on three aspects:(1)social and environmental needs,(2)the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs)set by the United Nations (UN), and (3)utilization of Cathay's core business.

In 2021, we adjusted our public welfare policy in accordance with the adjustments to Cathay’s sustainable development themes. We upgraded the policy to one that aims for “mutual prosperity in society” and extended our focus from “charity donations” to relevant sustainable development projects based on our corporate core competencies, in the hope of attaining a “sustainable and tolerant” society. We implemented action plans for “Climate,” “Health,” and “Empowerment,” and periodically track results.

Employees, Important Members in the Promotion of Community Engagement

Employees are important members in the promotion of community engagement. They wear yellow vests when they walk into communities, where they show their enthusiasm and thoughtfulness, and take action to jointly face challenges with partnering communities. Cathay provides one day of volunteer leave each year to encourage employees to serve local communities.

Cathay Life

Cathay Life has collaborated with Taiwan Blood Services Foundation for 22 consecutive years to stabilize the blood supply for medical services in summer. Cathay volunteers set up blood donation stations in different areas and encouraged communities and customers to donate blood. We set up 582 blood donation stations in 2021 and attracted 41,522 people and volunteers to donate blood. They contributed a total of 62,721 bags of blood. (Blood donors have donated a total of 489,823 bags of blood over the past 22 years. Based on the theory that every bag of blood can be used to help 3 injured persons/patients, it is estimated that we have helped 1.46 million persons). In addition, Cathay Life collects second-hand goods from employees and customers every year and jointly holds environmental charity events with Eden Social Welfare Foundation, Taichung YMCA, and Kaohsiung YMCA. Due to the severe COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, only 1 event was held in Taichung with a total of 750 participants. In addition to prolonging the useful life of second-hand goods, the approximate amount donated to charity was NT$0.75 million, which would be used for providing empowerment education and training to the children of immigrants.

Mayor Wen-Tsan Cheng of Taoyuan City went to the blood donation booth on Tongde 6th Street, Taoyuan District to show his support for blood donation activities.

Cathay Group’s employees, customers and their friends and families attended the event.

Cathay United Bank

Cathay United Bank has taken tangible action to address the issue of environmental sustainability and has held beach cleaning activities for 4 consecutive years since 2018. A total of 8 events have been held thus far across Taiwan. This year’s beach cleaning activities are the first time that both parents and children participated in the event. Three events have been held since the end of November, at Tainan Taijiang National Park, Bali Xiadingliao in Linkou, New Taipei City and Guanyin Township in Taoyuan County. The three events gathered more than 200 volunteers and families of the employees of Cathay United Bank and 171 kg of ocean garbage were collected.

In addition to indoor environmental education courses, tours to Sihcao Wetland, Guanxin Algal Reefs, and Spring Pool Tourism Factory were included in the beach cleaning activity for the volunteers of Cathay United Bank. By visiting the ecological reserve and recycling factory, the participants could better understand that environmental protection activities go beyond physical activities, and knowledge of nature will better rooted in participants’ hearts, thus making the learning more meaningful.

The employees and their families of Cathay United Bank cleaned the beaches in Tainan Taijiang National Park, Bali Xiadingliao and Guanyin Township in Taoyuan County, thus protecting the ocean with tangible actions.

The employees of Cathay United Bank cleaned up the garbage on the beach with their children to show their efforts to protect and clean the ocean.

Cathay Century Insurance

Cathay Century has always supported "loss control education program for all age groups" and launched various safety protection programs in 2012. They include the Accident-Free School Initiative (playground safety for grade 1 to grade 4 schoolchildren), the Accident-free Bicycles (bicycle safety for teenagers aged 10-15 years) and Accident-Free Riders Initiative (motorcycle safety for college and university students).The safety protection project of Accident-free Bicycles combines indoor AR digital technology and outdoor professional riding performances to create a brand-new interactive education system on traffic safety.

Cathay Securities

Cathay Securities and Cathay Futures have held the beach cleaning activities for 2 consecutive years, and, by taking a simple action of environmental protection, we hope that our employees understand the importance of environmental protection. In 2021, 120 employees were gathered together and went to Taizi Village in Yunlin County to clean the beach. A total of 1,107 kg of beach garbage were collected. This activity helped our employees realize the importance of environmental protection and waste reduction.

In addition, Cathay Securities and Cathay Futures jointly promoted the activity of Walking Together to Improve Health and invited all employees to participate in walking activities for charity. Such activities not only promote employees’ health, but also show our efforts to give back to vulnerable groups. This activity accumulated NT$425,000 in donations, which paid for a total of 1,416 meals provided by the 1919 Food Bank and helped more than 700 vulnerable families.

120 employees were gathered together and went to Taizi Village in Yunlin County to clean the beach.

The funds raised by the employee walking activities for charity were donated by the senior Deputy Manager, Chien-Chi Lin, on behalf of Cathay Securities.

Cathay SITE

Domestic travel has gained popularity as people could no longer travel abroad due to the epidemic. Taking a walk in the mountains and forest on weekends has become the best leisure activity for many people. However, the amount of man-made waste has increased as more people ventured into the mountains. Cathay SITE organized the Guanyin Mountain cleaning activity and invited employees to enjoy nature and protect the mountains and forests as they go on hikes.This activity was led by the President of Cathay SITE, Andy Chang, and a total of 40 employees and their families participated in this event. They cleared 20 kilograms of waste and accumulated 185 volunteer hours.

Public Welfare Strategy 1 | Climate

Cathay is not only committed to carbon reduction in its own operations, but also uses its core competencies to incorporate risks and opportunities related to climate change and ESG into its core businesses, including investment, lending, products, insurance, and services. Through multifaceted and diverse campaigns and engagements, we invite customers, the public, and students to pay attention to and engage in environmental issues, thereby raising their awareness for environmental protection and exerting our environmental influence.

 

Developed Green Insurance

Cathay Century is responding to climate initiatives through its insurance business. It has created green insurance products so that industries and members of the public who need such insurance will be able to be suitably protected.

 

Renewable Energy Industry Insurance

Cathay Century has been offering insurance products targeting the development and operations of green industries since 2010. In 2016, Cathay Century became the first company of its kind in Taiwan to offer insurance for offshore wind turbines. Cathay Century remains dedicated to enhancing the competitiveness and professionalism of renewable energy industries and founded the Energy Infrastructure Team in 2020 to develop potential business opportunities in renewable energies through risk identification. In 2022, Cathay Century increased insurance coverage for solar power and offshore/onshore wind farms, underwriting an additional NT$34.19 billion.

Green Vehicle Insurance

With the growing awareness around environmental protection, car drivers and motorcyclists are now opting for eco-friendly electric vehicles (EVs) when purchasing new vehicles. In 2013, Cathay Century launched the "Green Vehicle Insurance," the first green energy product of its kind in Taiwan, to support government directives aiding green energy industries, encourage and support eco-friendly drivers and motorcyclists, and help transition transportation modes in Taiwan. As of the end of 2022, a total of 54,593 eco-friendly vehicles are insured under the "Green Vehicle Insurance."

Bicycle Insurance

Cathay Century launched bicycle rider insurance in 2014 and has insured 10,093 cases as of the end of 2022.urance coverage, and satisfies the wide range of needs of green consumers. In June 2018, Cathay Century launched Taiwan's first "Public Bicycle Accident Insurance" and "Public Bicycle Third-party Liability Insurance" policies to encourage more people to start biking. As of 2022, ten cities and counties across Taiwan - Kaohsiung, Tainan, Taipei, New Taipei, Taoyuan, Miaoli, Pingtung, Hsinchu, Kinmen, and Chiayi - have enrolled in the "Public Bicycle Accident Insurance," providing coverage for over 118 million people and mitigating risks for public bicycle riders to fulfill the diverse demands of green consumers.

 

Carbon footprint of products

Cathay strives to lessen the carbon footprint of insurance products, engage in green procurement upstream, and develop low carbon products midstream through mobile insurance services.

Carbon Reduction Label, Carbon Label

Cathay FHC is urging subsidiaries to reduce the carbon footprint of their products and services through digitalized operating procedures, and to review direct and indirect GHG emissions in the product or service life cycle via Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) according to the industry classification standards of the Environmental Protection Administration. We manage upstream products and engage in green procurement, developed a mid-stream low carbon product and service process, and actively obtain product carbon footprint and carbon reduction certificates and labels from the government, showing Cathay's determination to reduce carbon emissions. Cathay Life and Cathay Century are the first in Taiwan obtain the ISO14067 Insurance Carbon Footprint Certification and Carbon Reduction Label, respectively. Cathay Century also established the compliance standard for property insurance carbon footprint inventory: PCR for the carbon footprint of property insurance services, which is a paradigm that can be adopted by peers in the industry in the future.

 

To comply with EPA's changes to product category rules, CUB helped compile the "Off-line financial services CFP-PCR" for industry peers to refer to in the future. CUB also conducted carbon footprint verification for residential mortgage services and small deposits/payments via ATMs. The carbon footprints of small deposits/payments via ATMS and residential mortgage services were verified under ISO 14067 in January and February 2023, respectively. CUB also obtained Carbon Labels and started the application for Carbon Reduction Labels for both services.

 

 

International Initiatives and Engagements

Advocate and Engagement are Cathay FHC’s core strategies when carrying out the climate actions. Cathay FHC actively communicates and collaborates with stakeholders along the financial value chain to help companies engaged by Cathay FHC take action against climate change and strengthen climate resilience. Cathay FHC’s action on company engagement and policy advocacy has received wide recognition. Cathay FHC was one of global investors featured in the "Investor Climate Action Plans" (ICAPs) published by "The Investor Agenda" as a case study on leading best practices. Cathay FHC was the only Asian asset owner to be featured in ICAPs.

 

 

CDP Non-Disclosure Campaign

The CDP's "Non-Disclosure Campaign" invited investors to ask investees to disclose environmental information. Cathay has participated in the initiative for four consecutive years since 2017 and was the only financial institution in Taiwan to have participated in the campaign. Cathay uses one-on-one communication to explain the material impact of climate change, forest, and water resource issues on companies and encourages them to disclose related data and management measures for investors to evaluate related risks

 

In 2022, the engagement success rate reached new record highs: Of the 41 companies that Cathay FHC engaged, 25 companies responded to CDP questionnaires, which is a 61% engagement success rate and higher than the global average Since 2017, Cathay FHC has successfully engaged 60 companies and 57% of these companies improved their CDP scores in the following year, indicating that successful engagement can generate long-term positive impacts.

Climate Action 100+

Cathay FHC urges focus companies to take actions for improvements but also help them to address their challenges. We have been engaging with all three Taiwanese companies among the 166 focus companies under CA100+ initiatives. Cathay FHC conducted in-depth research into the three Taiwanese companies on their climate management and the best practices performed by their peers. Then, communicated directly with company executives about global trends and investor expectations such as companies should proactively integrate TCFD as their climate management framework. By communicating with companies, Cathay FHC was able to gain in-depth insight into the company's actual management and challenges the companies faced when improving climate management.

In addition to company engagement, Cathay FHC also actively participates in CA100+ events and meetings, provides feedbacks on CA100+ reports and guidelines, and proofreads Chinese versions to help the Taiwanese focus companies easily understand the information and progress from CA100+. Chief Investment Officer of Cathay FHC, Sophia Cheng, has been invited as the member of CA100+ Asia Advisory Group since 2018. Cheng attends quarterly meetings to offer suggestions on strategies and plans for the initiative's campaigns.

All three companies that Cathay FHC engaged with committed to net zero carbon emission or carbon neutrality goals and set short- and mid-term carbon reduction goals. One of these three companies have set validated SBT target. Companies engaged by Cathay FHC were recognized by international organizations: one of the companies was selected for the initiative's "Progress Update 2022" as a global case study and another one was selected for "Down to Earth: Climate governance case studies in Asia Pacific" published by Asian Corporate Governance Association (ACGA) and CLSA as a case study as well.

Cathay Sustainable Finance and Climate Change Summit

The world has collectively turned its focus to climate issues. Embracing the value of “lead Taiwan into the world and bring the world to Taiwan,” Cathay FHC has held the Climate Change Summit for six consecutive years, inviting leaders and experts from the government, industries, and academia to share their insights on global climate change and net zero transformations with the companies. By exerting the finance industry's influence, we expect to lead the companies adopting aggressive action against climate change to ultimately create a "win-win-win" situation for financial institutions, industries, and society. In 2022, Cathay FHC hosted Cathay Sustainable Finance and Climate Change Summit, and was named a Strategic Partner of the World Climate Foundation and brought Taiwan to a COP side event, increasing the influence and globalization of forum activities.

Highlights of the 2022 Cathay Sustainable Finance and Climate Change Summit

1.In 2022, 2,459 people signed up to attend the Cathay Sustainable Finance and Climate Change Summit. Listed companies in attendance accounted for over 70% of Taiwan's total market capitalization, and over 46% of Taiwan's total carbon emissions

2.During the summit, Cathay FHC provided an exclusive livestream of the World Climate Summit (WCS), a side event of COP27 held in Egypt, where Cathay FHC Chairman Hong- Tu Tsai and President Chang-Ken Lee were invited to serve as keynote speaker and panelist, respectively.

3.Chief Investment Officer Sophia Cheng was the only speaker from Taiwan invited to the "2022 World Biodiversity Summit" (WBS) to share Cathay FHC's views on biodiversity and experiences of successfully promoting company engagement in Asia.

 Plant Saplings of Hope and Create Shades for Future Generations

Countries have taken climate change and ecological conservation issues seriously in recent years. Cathay Charity Foundation upholds the Group's spirit in practices for corporate and social sustainability, and has dedicated long-term efforts into environmental care activities for greening communities. The foundation also responded to the government policy of energy conservation and carbon reduction, promoting the Group’s mobile insurance service process during activities.


Public Welfare Strategy 2 |Health

We combine insurance products and services and uphold the concepts of ex-ante prevention and protection to raise customers' awareness of accidents and risks and of physical and mental health. In addition, we also help the young, the elderly, and women to engage in financial actions to create financial autonomy. Furthermore, we implement financial education and offer relevant products and services to help SMEs, social enterprises, and disadvantaged people to put financial inclusion into practice.

 

Health Promotion

FitBack promotion, facilitating healthy actions through technology

In 2018, we were the first in the industry to roll out a large-scale health promotion project. "Get healthy, get rewarded" was the project's theme. Through gamification of achievements and a reward mechanism, participants were incentivized to exercise more. In 2020, the project was upgraded to "Cathay Walker Plus(upgrade to FitBack in November 2022)," where the focus shifted from encouraging participants to walk more to adding more diverse health missions (e.g. gym workouts, sleep, heart rate, etc.) and rich cross-industry collaboration. The project invited the public to participate in gradually building a large-scale health ecosystem. By the end of 2022, there were a total of 806,000 FitBack App members. Users collectively walked 849 billion steps, which is equivalent to 662 round trips to the moon. For an overview of FitBack App's accomplishments over the years, see Table 24 in the Appendix.

Protecting employee health during the pandemic by organizing a weight loss contest online

The mission of the contest was to promote participation and health awareness. The contest aims to encourage employees to maintain a healthy diet and exercise habits by utilizing online streaming exercise classes combined with the use of Cathay Life's Cathay Walker Plus to monitor health data. More than 80,000 employees participated in 2022, with a total of 152,392 kg lost since the program was launched (22,982 kg lost in 2022 alone). Using BMI as an indicator, before and after BMI measurements showed that the percentage of overweight participants decreased by 15%. In addition, Cathay contributes NT$100 to the construction of solar panels for every kilogram lost. Money from the feed-in tariff is also donated to charity.

Letting children recognize drugs, oppose drugs, and say no to drugs via digital platform, e-sports, and volunteer work

Cathay Life began offering group insurance to students in 2017. In addition to providing insurance, Cathay Life worked with the K-12 Education Administration of the Ministry of Education to launch the Sustainable Campus Project. In 2019, the project began to focus on anti-drug initiatives and launched the Air Force, Army and Navy Project in collaboration with PaGamO, an online gaming learning platform. The project replaces the traditional dogmatic approach with game-based anti-drug education. Students can learn about anti-drug issues by correctly answering quizzes to unlock territories. The goal of the project is to help students identify drugs so they can say no to drugs.

 

Sports and Arts Activities

Assisted sales agents in managing new/old clients, and organized sports and art courses and events to enrich citizens’ lives and maintain their spiritual health. Please see more information at2022 Cathay Charity Group Annual Report.

Financial Health

Cathay fully utilizes its financial service capabilities to support the growth of SMEs and startups; support the financial independence of youth, elderly, and women; and achieves financial inclusion for the economically disadvantaged through financial education and products, creating a people-oriented financial environment.

 

Easy investment management, dollar-cost averaging for small investors

In 2019, Cathay Securities APP was the first to launch dollar-cost averaging investment in Taiwanese stocks, allowing small investors to invest with as little as NT$1,000 per month. Additionally, only a NT$1 brokerage fee is required for any investment purchase of less than NT$10,000. This approach significantly lowers the investment threshold, allowing small investors to participate and benefit from long-term investment in Taiwan's top 50 benchmark companies by market capitalization. Investors can increase their income through a systematic investment approach, while Cathay fulfills its corporate social responsibility by providing financial inclusion services. About 60% of Cathay Securities' customers are under the age of 40, reflecting the younger generation's need for small-budget investments. As digital tools are an integral part of the younger generation's lives, Cathay Securities has introduced the "Alpha" chatbot to provide streamlined services. An investor only needs to go through a few prompts to complete the dollar-cost averaging purchase of Taiwanese stocks on the APP. As of the end of 2022, 230,000 customers have enrolled in Cathay Securities' dollar-cost averaging service, reaching a total contribution amount of NT$23.22 billion, an increase of 23.6 times compared to 2019.

Cathay Securities found that 67% of its customers use dollar-cost averaging to invest a fixed amount at regular intervals into ETFs. Cathay Securities currently offers 90 ETF products that allow customers to take advantage of dollar-cost averaging. An exchange-traded fund, or ETF, is a basket of investments such as stocks or bonds that passively tracks a particular index. For an investor, dollar-cost averaging an ETF provides a solution for "stock selection" and "timing the market." A basket of investments solves the former, while dollar-cost averaging solves the latter. When Cathay Securities introduced this financial inclusion service aimed at solving investors' pain points, it is no surprise that it has since become a popular product.

 

CPBL Anti-Gambling Trust

CUB established the "CPBL Anti-Gambling Trust" and the "CPBL Player Signing Bonus Trust" in 2009. The establishment of the Anti-Gambling Trust helps players with retirement planning while promoting baseball in Taiwan. A total of 252 active players participated in the program, with the trust assets exceeding NT$165 million as of the end of 2022. The size of the trust continues to grow. If, during the term of the trust, the need arises for a player to make a temporary withdrawal from the trust, the request must be approved by the player's association before a withdrawal can be made. When the player retires from the sport, the trust property passes to the player to fund living expenses to ensure the quality of his post-retirement life.

As CUB fulfills our professional duty to protect and promote the welfare of Taiwan's professional baseball players, we have also formed a charity partnership with the Taiwan Professional Baseball Players Association (TPBPA). We work with professional baseball players to give back to the local community by launching the "TPBPA Giving Back Train." CUB has organized more than 70 events in 130 institutions and schools, with a total of more than 9,000 participants as of the end of 2022.


Public Welfare Strategy 3 | Empowerment

Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Klaus Schwab pointed out that inequality has a profound impact on society and the economy. The private and public sectors must work together to eradicate inequality to facilitate socio-economic mobility and forge new paths to ensure that we can begin at the same starting line and head towards success. Cathay exerts our core capacities to drive sustainable action and strive for an inclusive and equal society, reaching out to different stakeholder groups to empower them to elevate their own quality of life and ensure that everyone enjoys equal opportunity to develop. We particularly value the development of youth, women, and the underprivileged. Therefore, we are forging diverse strategic partnerships to support and empower these three groups with greater knowledge and skills so that they develop the ability to motivate themselves and others in the face of a rapidly changing society.

 

Youth Empowerment

Children and youths are important drivers of sustainable development and social progress. Education is the flint upon which we can ignite their growth and development. Here at Cathay, we've taken it upon ourselves to promote positive development of future generations in hopes that we can become facilitators for youths to innovate and resolve socio-environment issues. Therefore, we are providing diverse empowerment programs targeting different developmental stages of children and youths - cultivating the knowledge, attitude, and skills with which youths can face the future through revolutionizing education, sustainability, and workplace competencies. As we support them in resolving social and environmental issues, we can also facilitate workplace transition by building the necessary skills, bringing innovative change to the world.

    Female Empowerment

    The Global Gender Gap Report 2022, published by the World Economic Forum, highlights that progress toward gender equality has nearly stalled worldwide due to factors such as the pandemic and conflicts like the war in Ukraine. The report indicates that achieving global gender equality will take approximately 132 years. Women continue to face challenges such as domestic violence, the gender pay gap, gender stereotypes, and unequal distribution of household chores. Cathay's vision is to establish a diverse, equal, and inclusive (DEI) society. Through empowerment that embraces gender equality, we encourage women to actively participate in society, break through gender barriers, assume leadership roles, and unleash their potential and influence. We aspire to provide every woman with the opportunity to be confident, independent, and accomplished in both work and life.

    Taiwan is Cathay's main base of operations. Therefore, we not only expand our local financial business, but also recognize the various challenges affecting children in rural areas, elderly individuals living alone, and disabled persons. These challenges include unequal access to educational resources, lack of caregivers/companions, relative economic disadvantages, and inequalities. In the spirit of "happiness is giving happiness," we actively respond to the needs of Taiwanese society through our comprehensive volunteer network and diverse resources. We focus on two aspects: "Self-Affirmation" and "Social Participation," empowering different communities with confidence and skills, enhancing their quality of life, and encouraging them to actively engage in society and express themselves.

The Cathay volunteers cleared 620 kg of Minute-a-Mile weed in Toucheng Township, Yilan County, giving Taiwan’s native plants a suitable environment to grow in. These green actions protect our beautiful homeland.

    Carbon Reduction Summit Raises Students' Environmental Protection Awareness

    Environmental education is an important part of the Ministry of Education's 12-year basic education. It is also a key issue in Cathay Life's Sustainable Campus Project, which worked with social enterprises in the promotion of carbon reduction in life on campus. Students learn how to put themselves in the shoes of others and take responsibility for their decisions by playing the role of leader in game scenarios, which give them a new perspective of carbon reduction issues to better understand the importance of environmental protection. The event was promoted in 19 schools and participants included 725 teachers and students and 93 salespeople.

    Promote Green and Carbon Reduction Businesses in Response to World Earth Day

    CUB has sponsored National Geographic's World Earth Day Road Run for two consecutive years, and over 20,000 people participated in the event this year to contribute to environmental protection. CUB is the exclusive sponsor of the program "Hostile Planet" in hopes that citizens will take climate change more seriously. The program shows how wild animals face severe challenges and dilemmas for survival, and reached 139,912 people through Facebook. The 2020 project continued to sponsor the event, and integrated the promotion of CUB's green and carbon reduction businesses, inviting the public to exert influence through action.
