Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation

In response to the Financial Supervisory Commission’s (FSC) “Green and Transition Finance Action Plan,” the Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation (TDCC) recently announced that it will gradually expand its investments in sustainable financial products, with the goal of reaching NT$10 billion in sustainable investments within three years. Through concrete actions, TDCC aims to contribute to sustainable finance and net-zero transition, while demonstrating its strong commitment to promoting comprehensive public welfare.

Dr. Bing-Huei Lin, Chairman of TDCC, stated that according to the company’s charter, a fixed proportion of annual profits is allocated to support various public welfare initiatives, including assistance for the underprivileged, education, sports, arts and culture, and disaster relief. The expansion of sustainable investments not only echoes the FSC’s green finance policy but also seeks to generate steady returns from long-term investments in sustainable financial products. These returns will strengthen TDCC’s capacity to support public welfare activities, aligning with the FSC’s “Financial Feedback to Society” initiative, thereby sharing the fruits of financial market development with the general public.

Lin emphasized that TDCC’s core strategy for sustainable investment is to integrate resources to drive Taiwan’s corporate net-zero transition. TDCC aims to provide tools that support financial institutions and listed companies in their transformation efforts, which is expected to attract more capital into net-zero development, while simultaneously boosting the transition economy and enhancing broad-based public welfare initiatives.

Currently, ESG financial products in the market include ETFs, mutual funds, and sustainability bonds. In addition, sustainability commercial papers are set to be launched in the second half of this year. TDCC will continue allocating funds across a diverse range of sustainable products to support high-quality enterprises implementing ESG practices. The returns will be continuously reinvested into public welfare programs, strengthening the positive cycle between social responsibility and sustainable investment. Through these concrete actions, TDCC is committed to realizing “financial feedback to society” and fostering sustainable development across the entire market.
