Participating in Trade Associations and Lobbying

In accordance with Article 5, Section 2, Item 4, Subparagraph 1 of "Chang Hwa Commercial Bank Sustainable Finance Policy ”, the Bank's climate change strategy and action plan are consistent with the United Nations Paris Agreement . In order to ensure meaningful external participation in trade associations and to jointly promote the Net Zero transformation of companies and industries, the Bank has established reference guidelines for participation in trade associations and lobbying.
Guidelines for Participating in Trade Associations and Lobbying

In order to promote the sound development of the domestic financial industry, the Bank actively participates in various social organizations and holds important positions in some organizations, providing advice on the practical operation and sustainable management of the financial industry in a timely manner, and contributing to the industry environment and sustainable development.
In 2024, the Bank also participated in the "1.5 ℃ Climate Action Commitment" co-signed by the Chinese National Association of Industry and Commerce, Taiwan (CNAIC), along with over a hundred other member companies endorsing the temperature control targets of the Paris Agreement. Together, we committed to align with the government's 2050 Net-Zero Pathway, promote low-carbon transformation in the industry, and safeguard the substantive value of participating in the Association.

In order to understand the development of the financial industry, promote the common interests of the industry, and assist the government in implementing financial policies, the Bank and its subsidiaries actively participate in relevant domestic and foreign trade associations and social organizations. The Bank not only pays regular membership fees according to their regulations but also makes donations to some of the social organizations.
The total donation amount in 2021 was approximately NT$6,333,000. The top 3 organizations that received the most donations were The Bankers Association of the Republic of China (BAROC), Trust Association of the Republic of China (TAROC), and Bankers Association of the Philippines, in the amount of approximately NT$2,046,000, NT$1,087,000, and NT$379,000 respectively. No contributions to political organizations, candidates, or other interest groups were made in the past 4 years.
