TDCC is promoting the goal of achieving net-zero emissions in the securities market by 2050. Under the guidance of the Financial Supervisory Commission, it has developed the eNotice platform for Shareholder Services. This platform provides investors (shareholders) with free access to electronic notifications of dividend payments from TWSE/TPEx listed and emerging companies. The official launch of the platform is scheduled on June 30th of 2023 at 7:00 PM.

The period from July to September is known as the peak season for ex-rights/ex-dividend every year, and shareholders will receive numerous dividend notices. The current practice involves individually mailing dividend notices to shareholders, which is time-consuming and resource-intensive. Moreover, the carbon emissions generated from the paper, printing, and mailing of these notices can also impose a burden on the environment. With the advancement of financial technology and the promotion of digital shareholder services, TDCC is actively encouraging issuing companies to adopt electronic dividend notification services. To date, over 550 companies have signed contracts with TDCC to use the eNotice platform. By adopting the electronic notification services for this year's stock dividends and cash distributions, the issuing companies demonstrate their commitment to promoting digital transformation and ESG sustainable development. This move aims to provide shareholders with convenient and efficient services.

To attract more investors to adopt the eNotice platform for the shareholder services, TDCC is organizing a special lucky draw event exclusively for investors who register for eNotice. The event will take place from June 30th, starting at 7:00 PM, until September 30th. During this period, investors who register and agree to receive eNotice services through TDCC’s e-Passbook APP, the links of securities brokers’ APPs, or directly log in the eNotice platform will be eligible to participate in multiple lucky draws, including the "Early Bird Coffee Prizes," "Weekly Prizes," "Monthly Prizes," and "Surprise Prizes." The prizes are abundant and include coffee vouchers, electronic vouchers from convenience stores, and postal vouchers. The highest cash prize reaching NTD 200,000 and the total prize pool exceeds NTD ten million.

President Te-Hsiang Chen of TDCC stated that the electronic dividend notification service marks a new era in digital stock affairs services. It not only significantly reduces mailing costs but also demonstrates companies' commitment to global carbon reduction trends and the pursuit of ESG sustainability. By receiving electronic dividend notifications, investors can experience the convenience of digital technology and instantly access dividend information while actively supporting energy conservation and carbon reduction. TDCC has long been dedicated to promoting digital innovation and sustainable services, creating an ecosystem for shareholders’ e-services, and providing investors with convenient digital services. Together with issuing companies and their shareholders, TDCC aims to drive the development of financial technology applications in Taiwan's securities market and collectively pursue a sustainable future.
