Sustainable Shin Kong

Shin Kong Life always strives to live up parent company Shin Kong Financial Holding's sustainable development value proposition of "Low Carbon, Innovation, and Mutual benefit." SKL has developed the corporate sustainability vision, strategies, and medium-to long-term targets based on our core competencies, and have also promotes and implemented various sustainability/ESG initiatives to move towards sustainable corporate development.

Corporate Sustainability Committee

SKL's sustainability policies and governance framework are aligned with the management framework established by the parent company, TS Holdings. TS Holdings has established a functional Corporate Sustainability Committee to oversee the implementation of sustainable development across TS Holdings and its subsidiaries. The Committee comprises four members, including two independent directors. In 2025, the Committee convened four meetings, with a 100% attendance rate. During the same year, TS Holdings established the “Guidelines for the Establishment of Corporate Sustainability Executive Committee and ESG Team,” under which the presidents of its subsidiaries serve as committee members. The guidelines clearly define the responsibilities of each functional team, which are responsible for planning and promoting corporate sustainability initiatives, consolidating and discussing issues raised by the functional teams, and reporting regularly to the Corporate Sustainability Committee.

In accordance with the “Sustainable Development Best Practice Principles” established by TS Holdings, SKL participates in the TS Holdings' sustainability meetings to communicate the parent company's sustainability strategies and emerging trends to its internal "Corporate Sustainability Committee" and its seven functional groups.

In 2025, SKL continued to strengthen the operation of its Corporate Sustainability Committee by tracking ESG performance and the progress of each functional group quarterly. The Committee convened three meetings during the year to review and approve the Sustainability Report and TCFD Report, confirm material sustainability topics, formulate annual strategies and targets, and review the implementation of sustainability initiatives. SKL also reports its sustainability objectives and implementation progress to the board of directors on a regular basis, enabling the board and senior management to oversee the advancement of the Company's sustainable development efforts.

Strengthening the Management of Sustainability Information

  • In 2024, the Company established the Guidelines for Sustainability Information Management. In 2025, the Company further introduced requirements for units responsible for providing sustainability information, emphasizing that all reported sustainability information must be supported by appropriate evidence, comply with the “Reference Guidelines for Financial Institutions on Anti-Greenwashing,” and accurately reflect actual implementation. In addition, all sustainability information must be approved by the responsible supervisor of the relevant reporting unit prior to external disclosure. The Company also incorporated internal control procedures for sustainability information into its self-assessment program to ensure the reasonableness and accuracy of sustainability disclosures.

Advancing the Adoption of IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards S1 and S2

  • In 2024, the Company's parent company established a dedicated project team to lead the implementation of the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, with the implementation timeline and plan submitted to the board of directors for approval. In 2025, in response to Article 8-1 of the “Regulations Governing Public Disclosure of Information by Life Insurance Enterprises,” the Company planned sustainability-related financial disclosure training and conducted a gap analysis. The Company expects to incorporate the requirements of the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards into its 2026 Annual Report, which will be published in 2027.
