Chailease Holding upholds a corporate culture centered on value innovation, sustainable operations, and integrity and discipline, and continues to make strides in various ESG areas, with its achievements receiving widespread recognition. For the first time, the Company ranked first in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Indices (DJBIC) for the Diversified Financial Services and Capital Markets (FBN) category, and has been included as a constituent of the index for six consecutive years. Additionally, it was ranked in the top 1% of the global financial services sector in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook, published by the international sustainability rating agency S&P Global. The Company has been included in the MSCI Global Sustainability Indexes for 12 consecutive years and was awarded the highest ESG rating of AAA in 2025.
Chailease Holding is leading by example, leveraging its influence to advance the energy transition and driving sustainable development through three key strategies. Chailease Holding has committed to adhering to the scientific framework for limiting global warming to 1.5°C and a concrete pathway to net-zero emissions, which was approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in early 2026.
With the goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, we are prioritizing the completion of our interim plan by 2030. Compared to the 2023 baseline year, the Company achieved a 42% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions. The company has also set decarbonization targets for Category 15 investments and financing under Scope 3, which include equity investments and financing for small and medium-sized enterprises, covering sectors such as real estate, fossil fuel infrastructure, and the steel and cement industries.
At the same time, we have partnered with small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) clients to enhance their operational capabilities and implement ESG practices, thereby driving the industry’s transition toward carbon reduction. Our initiatives include hosting 13 SME Strategy Forums and three ESG Forums, collaborating with media outlets to launch ESG learning circle courses and publish research reports on SME ESG, and partnering with the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research to facilitate self-assessments for SMEs. These efforts enable companies to analyze and compare their performance against peers of similar size and in the same industry, thereby setting improvement goals and enhancing their ESG performance.
Chailease Holding remains committed to its role and value within the financial leasing industry and is dedicated to promoting inclusive finance. Since its establishment in 1977, the Company has supported the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and micro-enterprises across various industries. In 2000, it expanded into the consumer market with its “Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL) service, broadening access to financial services and supporting purchases of key items such as self-learning courses, computer and 3C devices, and home furnishings and décor.
In 2010, in line with the principles of sustainable finance, the Company launched ESCO energy-saving service financing to encourage small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) clients to plan energy-saving improvements. This initiative led to investments in solar power plants on the rooftops of idle farmhouses and factories owned by SMEs, thereby developing the renewable energy business. Over the past 10 years, the total installed capacity has reached approximately 1.6 GW, and the Company has gradually expanded from Taiwan into overseas markets, including Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
From energy generation and storage to electricity sales, we are also developing diverse renewable energy sources, investing in geothermal power projects, and expanding the renewable energy value chain, with the aim of further advancing the energy transition. Going forward, Chailease Holding will continue to align its business strategies with those of its stakeholders as we work together toward the goals of low-carbon transition and sustainable development
