Response to international sustainable initiatives
The United Nations (the "UN") established the Sustainable Stock Exchanges ("SSE") in 2009 as a platform for member exchanges to share CSR promotion. The SSE is committed to investigating how stock exchanges enhance the information transparency and achievements of environmental, social, and governance issues in collaboration with investors, supervisory institutions, and listed companies. Apart from improving responsible investment that benefits investors, the SSE and members seek to co-develop a more sustainable capital market. To synergize Taiwan's stock exchange, the TWSE upholds the SSE's "Mobilizing Finance" spirit to innovate financial mechanisms and allow the financial market to thrive through the CSR reporting mechanism.
The UN set 17 Sustainable Development Goals ("SDGs") in 2015 to resolve major social problems in collaboration with worldwide enterprises. By proactively connecting our sustainable development strategies with the world, the TWSE responds to the SDGs with its own advantages and contributions. On top of supporting and responding to the 17 SDGs, the TWSE integrates the SSE initiative with its core competence to demonstrate its influences through the following six SDGs.
