Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation

In support of the policy to establish Taiwan as an Asian Asset Management Center and aligned with the "Taiwan Weeks 2026" series of events, Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation (TDCC) will hold the "A New Chapter in Asian Sustainable Finance" forum on the morning of Friday, November 6, 2026. The forum brings together domestic and international experts in finance, ESG ratings, and sustainable finance to explore global trends in sustainable finance, corporate adaptation strategies, and emerging investment and financing opportunities.

As the global sustainable finance market continues to evolve, ESG ratings and data products play an increasingly vital role in capital markets, accompanied by rising market demands for transparency, quality, and international alignment. The forum features a keynote presentation by Bryan Pascoe, Chief Executive of the International Capital Market Association (ICMA), who will share the latest developments in the global ESG ratings market to help attendees stay attuned to the dynamics of global sustainable finance.

The forum will also feature two panel discussions, one on ESG ratings and the other on sustainable commercial paper. The first panel will draw on overseas market experience and practical observations. It will look at trends in the ESG ratings market and how Taiwanese listed companies can respond now that international investors and rating agencies are paying more attention to sustainability information. The second panel will bring together views from the bills finance, corporate financing, sustainable finance and international capital markets. Panelists will share innovative practices and market developments in sustainable commercial paper, and discuss the new opportunities that come from combining corporate financing with sustainable finance.

Through this forum, TDCC aims to convene professional insights from home and abroad, deepen exchanges between Taiwan and international sustainable finance markets, assist market participants in mastering key developments across ESG ratings, sustainable finance, and green finance, and jointly explore a new chapter in Asian sustainable finance.
