The Bank also set up a wholly-owned subsidiary "Chang Hua Commercial Bank Ltd." in mainland China, with 5 branches (sub-branches) including Kunshan Branch, Kunshan Huaqiao Sub-Branch, Dongguan Branch, Fuzhou Branch, and Nanjing Branch, to become a solid backing providing high-quality financial products and comprehensive financial services for Taiwan merchants and overseas Chinese.

(CHB Venture Capital), which invests its capital in small and medium-sized enterprises and start-ups with development potential, and provides entrepreneurship counseling and management consulting services to promote industrial innovation and enhance market value.

Participation in Various Social Organizations

In order to promote the 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.
The Bank shall participate in relevant industry associations as required by business needs. The application for participation should be submitted by respective units and follow the Bank's business authority division and approval process. Only after appropriate management approval (up to the level of Chairperson) can the Bank join. The management of the associations shall be conducted by the applying unit and its immediate Executive Vice President. The Bank also actively monitors the operations of industry associations, taking an active role as a committee member or representative in project meetings, providing input, and facilitating communication. This commitment aims to promote the sound development of the overall financial industry and ensures alignment with the Bank's net-zero vision. If there are any deviations from the Bank's business development strategy, they will be closely examined and communicated with the respective association. Currently, the Bank has not engaged in any lobbying activities. However, in the future, should the need arise, the Bank will follow the aforementioned approval process.
The Bank's participation in industry associations is primarily related to financial business. The Bank complies with government policies and is subject to regulatory guidance and supervision regarding financial activities. Our participation in all domestic industry associations should actively promote green finance and align with Taiwan's 2050 net-zero emissions target and the goals of the Paris Agreement. In 2022, 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. As a result, the Bank has evaluated that CNAIC's climate position aligns with ours. Each management unit of the Bank will continue to monitor the climate positions of other participating industry associations. If necessary (in cases of deviations from the Bank's position), communication will be conducted to ensure alignment with the Bank's position.

Participation and Dedication in Public Affairs and Policy

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 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.
