GHG Reduction Pathway
KGI Life began conducting its ISO 14064-1 greenhouse gas inventory in 2015, with annual third-party verification ensuring 100% coverage of all domestic and overseas operational sites. In 2025, its combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions totaled 5,656.215 metric tons of CO2e, a 10.2% decrease from the previous year. Its emissions intensity for 2025 was 0.0235 metric tons of CO2e per NT$ million in revenue, a 0.8% reduction from the prior year.

Science-Based Targets
In line with the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C goal, KGI Life, in collaboration with its parent company KGI Financial, has set targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In March 2025, its decarbonization pathways for both its own operations and its investment portfolio were officially validated, confirming their alignment with international scientific standards and demonstrating its commitment and capability for a low-carbon transition.
- Established decarbonization commitments and timeline
- Started green electricity procurement
- Participated in the first batch of carbon credit trading
- Carbon neutrality at the KGI Life headquarters building
- SBTs aligned with 1.5°C validated
- Ceased new direct project investment and financing for thermal coal and unconventional oil and gas industries
- Headquarters building reached RE80
- Renewable energy use reaches 30%
- Renewable energy use reaches 50%
- Fully withdraw investment and financing support from thermal coal and unconventional oil and gas industries worldwide
- Operational net-zero emissions
- Net-zero carbon emissions across the entire asset portfolio
On the operations front, the carbon price was set at NT$2,710 per metric ton, based on the group's green electricity price differential in 2024. This price was used to calculate the implicit cost of its Scope 1 and 2 emissions for 2025. Emissions are managed through dedicated systems, with reduction efforts linked to performance, across all of the Company's operational sites.
For its investment and financing portfolio, the Company used the carbon price forecasts from the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), formed by the central banks and financial regulators of major countries. Specifically, it used the per-metric-ton price from the GCAM integrated assessment model, which is adjusted annually for inflation. This serves as a reference for managing Scope 3 risks and informs its engagement strategies with clients in carbon-intensive industries.
