Environment
As global climate change intensifies, the topic of ESG, sustainability, and net zero has become a worldwide concern. BOT not only proclaims its resolution in keeping abreast of international trends in realizing corporate sustainability by signing the Equator Principles (EP) and Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), but also endeavors to lower carbon emissions through environmental management, GHG reduction, green procurement, and green buildings in a bid to contribute to environmental sustainability.
Responsible Finance
Bank of Taiwan incorporates ESG factors into Know Your Customer (KYC) and Client Due Diligence (CDD) procedures for credit investigations and post-loan management processes, implementing reviews and management measures based on the ESG risk classifications for each project. Additionally, we encourage sustainable development in our corporate credit customers by underwriting sustainability linked loans.
