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

In 2013, SKL established the "Corporate Social Responsibility Committee", which was later renamed as the "Corporate Sustainability Committee" (CSC) in 2021, following approval by the Board of Directors. The committee is chaired by the President and comprises members who are senior executives from various departments to supervise and manage the operation of the working groups. Regular meetings of the CSC are held to monitor the overall progress of sustainability initiatives, and updates on sustainability goals and performance are reported to the Board of Directors annually. The committee consists of an executive secretary and seven execution groups, with each group led by a department head, responsible for conducting discussions on relevant topics and implementing specific projects. The CSC execution groups meet on a quarterly basis to track the progress of the various sustainability project implementations.

In addition, to incorporate the concept of sustainable development into business activities, we encourage employees to receive ESG training to improve their knowledge and skills in relation to sustainability, in an attempt to make sustainability part of the Company's DNA.
