Low Carbon | Shin Kong Life Sustainability

Shin Kong's green building design adopts seven indicators including greenery, soil water retention, daily energy saving, CO2 reduction, construction waste reduction, water resources, and sewage and garbage improvement. We strive to create low carbon smart green buildings by planting a large number of trees and shrubs in the base, installing energy-efficient air-conditioners and LED lights, water-saving bathroom equipment, garbage refrigerators, and adopting considerable quantities of green building materials. At the same time, in response to the post-pandemic era, the air conditioning system is equipped with fresh air exchange regulation to effectively prevent indoor airborne cross-infection. The overall design showcases a new green and low carbon urban style.

As of 2022, we had applied for Green Building Labels for 7 buildings, including 6 Green Building Labels (obtained) and one candidate for Green Building Labels, and obtained one LEED credential. We also expect to apply for Green Building Labels for six projects that will start construction in 2022 or are still under planning. As Shin Kong Life Insurance celebrates its 60th anniversary, the renovation of its first self-owned "ancestral home" - Nandong Building, along with the construction of a new headquarters in Kaohsiung, symbolizes a new era of moving towards a centennial milestone for the Company to continue its legacy sustainably.
