In recent years, CHIMEI has adopted the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) to support sustainable development. Besides the prevention of investments in high pollution, gambling, alcohol, tobacco, and other morally questionable industries, last year (2021), CHIMEI included the comprehensive ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) performance of investees in the investment indicators to act as reference for investment analysis and decision making. Recently, the company has actively participated in innovative developments of green finance. Apart from investing in the green bonds issued by the wind power industry, national power industry, and financial industry, the Taipei Branch of DBS Bank has underwritten the first NT$1 billion green fixed deposit for CHIMEI on the 14th of this month. The deposit account will act as the funding for green loans and sustainability-linked loans issued by DBS Bank Taipei Branch.
As of today, CHIMEI has invested a total of over NT$3 billion in green finance products. In the future, CHIMEI will continue to promote sustainable green innovations as an important indicator for investing, financing, and other financial areas. Additionally, CHIMEI will deepen its relationships with financial partners, who implement ESG on an international level. Through these actions, CHIMEI realizes its corporate sustainable vision of Clean & Green.
