Sustainable Development Committee

E.SUN FHC established the CSR Committee in 2011 and renamed it the Sustainable Development Committee in January 2021, making it the dedicated unit for the Company's sustainable development. The chairperson is the convener and the committee is formed by all Board members (including 2 independent directors). Six task forces operate under the Committee, covering: corporate governance, sustainable finance, climate change, environmental sustainability, human rights protection, and social welfare. Each task force is formed by members of departments in subsidiaries, effectively integrating resources and implementing sustainability strategies in each department. ESG strategy and implementation results are reported to the Board of Directors at least twice each year. During the 10 Board meetings convened in 2021, 60% of agenda items were related to ESG and sustainable development.
