Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation

In support of the Financial Supervisory Commission's (FSC) Asian Asset Management Center policy and in conjunction with the "2026 Taiwan Weeks" series of events, Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation (TDCC) will host the "A New Chapter in Asian Sustainable Finance" Forum on the morning of Friday, November 6, at Grand Hilai Taipei. The forum gathers domestic and international experts across finance, ESG rating, and industry sectors to focus on sustainable finance development trends, corporate response strategies, and new opportunities in sustainable investment and financing, injecting pivotal influence into Taiwan’s capital market.

TDCC Chairman Bing-Huei Lin stated that amid the accelerating global momentum of sustainable finance, Taiwan is facing a key moment to connect with international standards and deepen its sustainable capital market. As an important financial market infrastructure service provider in Taiwan, TDCC aims, through international keynote speeches and expert panel discussions, to assist domestic issuing companies and financial institutions in staying on top of global rating trends in real time, accurately aligning with international standards, further expanding the scope of sustainable investment and financing, and jointly driving Asian sustainable finance toward a brand-new milestone.

To continuously deepen sustainability services and foster international exchanges, TDCC established the "Company Investor Relations Integrated Platform (ESG IR Platform)," setting a global precedent by aggregating information from major domestic and international ESG rating agencies. The "Code of Conduct for ESG Rating and Data Product Providers" released at this forum will provide ESG rating agencies with clear guidelines under new regulations, helping listed companies better understand how rating agencies collect and utilize data, thereby enhancing the completeness and transparency of sustainability information disclosure and strengthening corporate capabilities to align their sustainability performance with international ratings.

In addition, actively aligning with national policy, TDCC collaborated with the Taiwan Bills Finance Association to establish the world's first Sustainable Commercial Paper system, which has now reached its first anniversary of implementation. This system has not only successfully directed short-term capital into green finance and promoted fund utilization diversification, but also further completed the sustainable finance landscape by integrating the money market with the capital market.
