Message From the Chairman and President
Looking back on 2025, it was a milestone year in which we deepened our commitment to sustainability while undergoing a significant transformation. Despite fluctuations in the global political and economic landscape and the escalating challenges posed by climate change, we remained steadfast in upholding the spirit of “Earnestness, Innovation, and Sustainability” throughout the merger process between our parent company, Taishin Financial Holding Co., Ltd. and Shin Kong Financial Holding Co., Ltd. By embedding ESG principles into our organizational DNA, we delivered tangible results across aspects of environment, society, and governance.
Environmental (E):
Driving the Low-Carbon Transition and Implementing Green Operations
To actively support the global ambition of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, we not only fortified our TCFD management framework, but also adopted the TNFD recommendations and integrated the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards. In terms of green operations, our first self-consumption solar power system officially commenced operation, laying the foundation for expanding renewable energy deployment in the years ahead, while mandating that all new developments achieve at least Silver-level Green Building Certification.
In 2025, our commitment to driving a sustainable supply chain was recognized with the 'Taipei City Climate Action Award' alongside multiple sustainable procurement accolades. Concurrently, by leveraging digital tools and expanding electronic insurance policies, we accelerated paperless operations, empowering every policyholder to participate in our low-carbon transition.
Social (S):
Implementing Financial Inclusion and Expanding Our Positive Social Impact
We are committed to implementing financial inclusion by providing accessible and inclusive services to diverse groups, including older adults, youth, persons with disabilities, and new immigrants. In 2025, we established a KPI of 3.7 volunteer service hours per employee, encouraging our employees to actively engage with local communities. By combining our financial expertise with public welfare resources, we continued to invest in areas such as children's education, care for disadvantaged groups, and environmental sustainability. Through these efforts, we implemented the principle of “giving back to society what we have gained from society” and fostered a resilient framework that thrives in harmony with society.
Governance (G):
Strengthening Operational Resilience and Advancing Sustainable Finance
In response to an increasingly dynamic operating environment, we continued to enhance our risk management framework and maintained international certifications, including ISO 22301, ISO 27001, and BS 10012, ensuring that information security and personal data protection met the highest standards. In the area of sustainable investment, we strategically allocated capital to ESG-related themes and industries aligned with the government’s “12 Key Strategic” Industries, with investments totaling NT$14.1 billion. Through our engagement efforts, we also worked closely with our partners to advance sustainable development goals.
Future Prospects:
Committing to sustainability and becoming a trusted smart partner
Insurance is a long-term commitment, and sustainability is a marathon without a finish line. In 2026, SKL will build upon the strengths and excellence of the merged organization, integrating group resources and driving transformation through digital innovation. With a broader perspective, we will continue to address emerging challenges and strive to become our customers’ most trusted “smart partner”, helping build a secure, prosperous, and sustainable future for this land.
