Talent is a key and leading indicator. E.SUN believes that talent cultivation is
essential for corporate sustainability and national competitiveness. E.SUN has long
taken actions to improve the quality of education by supporting rural elementary
schools, higher education, and corporate learning. We have launched the E.SUN Golden
Seed Project to establish libraries for elementary schools lacking resources to
improve their reading environment. We support key talent in various fields
nationwide and help build up intellectual capital for our country through industry-
academia collaboration, campus competitions, and the E.SUN Outstanding Talent
Scholarship. In hopes of cultivating more outstanding scholars and talent, we have
collaborated with prestigious universities nationwide and given out the E.SUN
Academic Award to encourage professors to publish their research outcomes in
international journals. We have hosted the International Masters Forum to introduce
elite strategies, marketing, and new knowledge in management from worldwide sources
for Taiwanese enterprises to inspire each other with new ideas, jointly find new
paths for growth, and increase the competitiveness of Taiwan.

A bank is not only a business of managing credit risks and a service business to
meet the needs of customers, but also an innovative business that leads social

economy and the job market flourish. E.SUN is actively developing fintech to assist
SMEs in acquiring funds and transforming business models to help boost Taiwan's
economy. Meanwhile, we continue to focus on businesses with a technological niche
and potential for growth, helping them to obtain government grants for technological
projects and funds for research and innovation so as to drive industry upgrade.
While pursuing external opportunities for development,
we also value internal stability. E.SUN pays great attention to employee cultivation

Health is the foundation of happiness and the key to the sustainable operations of a
country and its enterprises. As Taiwan is firmly on the path to becoming a super-
aged country, the demand for medical resources is increasing day by day, and the
problem of nursing shortage has started to emerge. In addition to donating medical
supplies and launching blood donation activities, E.SUN also collaborates with
academic institutions to cultivate nursing talents to enhance the energy of Taiwan's
social health care system. At the same time, with abundant experiences in developing
fintech, the bank assists hospitals with digital transformation and provides
customers with service courses, making it easier for the general public
to receive quality medical services and resources. On the other hand, E.SUN
regularly co-organizes free clinic and home medical services with hospitals to
provide appropriate medical care for physically-challenged patients and those living
in remote rural areas with scarce medical resources, so that they can live healthy
lives. E.SUN will continue to support the health and medicine field with
cross-industry force to create a better, healthier society.
