E.SUN Financial Holding Named to S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook for 12 Consecutive Years

TAIPEI, Taiwan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--E.SUN Financial Holding Company has been recognized in the 2026 S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook for the 12th consecutive year, reaffirming its long-standing commitment to sustainability. E.SUN also ranked among the top 1% of global banking institutions for the second time, setting a new benchmark for Taiwan’s financial sector.

The Sustainability Yearbook is based on results from S&P Global’s Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), which evaluates companies worldwide across environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dimensions. Each year, only the top-performing companies in each industry are selected. In the 2025 assessment cycle, evaluation standards for the banking sector were further strengthened, with increased focus on sustainability governance, cybersecurity risk management, internal carbon pricing, and labor rights protection. E.SUN continued to excel under these heightened requirements, demonstrating that sustainability is deeply embedded in its corporate strategy and core operations.

In the 2026 assessment, E.SUN received full scores across several key areas, including financial inclusion, human rights, customer relations, transparency and reporting, materiality, and policy influence. Notably, E.SUN achieved the highest score in the banking industry for decarbonization strategy-related criteria, highlighting its ability to translate sustainability commitments into tangible financial impact and support clients’ low-carbon transition efforts.

E.SUN has consistently aligned with international sustainability trends, using global assessments to strengthen governance and convert ESG principles into actionable financial solutions. For five consecutive years, the Group has advanced ESG initiatives covering climate awareness, support for science-based emissions targets, and the development of sustainability transition platforms that integrate financial and non-financial services. In 2025, E.SUN further launched its Low-Carbon Transition Program, anchored in the goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Moving beyond traditional approaches focused solely on emissions volume or intensity, the program prioritizes asset quality and transition readiness, supporting companies with credible and actionable transition potential and shifting low-carbon finance toward long-term value creation.

Joseph Huang, Chairman of E.SUN Financial Holding Company, stated: “A strong ESG strategy is fundamentally a strong banking strategy. Continuous recognition by S&P Global represents both international affirmation and long-term responsibility.”
