Sustainable Governance
The Board of Directors serves as the highest supervisory unit of the Company’s sustainable development governance structure, responsible for approving corporate sustainable development policies, sustainability and climate governance guidelines, and specific action plans. In 2025, the Board approved the merger of the “Ethical Corporate Management Committee” and the “Corporate Sustainable Development Committee” into the “Sustainability and Ethical Corporate Management Committee,” which supervises the formulation and execution of annual plans and strategic directions. The Sustainable Development Department, Compliance Department, and Human Resources Department serve as supporting units, responsible for integrating and promoting various sustainable action plans and assisting various operational departments in implementing their goals.
In an ESG Post interview, KGI Life CEO Yu-Ling Kuo pointed out that the Board of Directors acts as the company’s highest supervisory body for sustainable development, supported by the Sustainable and Ethical Management Committee that meets quarterly to oversee policies, performance indicators and concrete action plans. ESG metrics are integrated into senior executive KPIs and remuneration to advance responsible investment, climate risk management and Science-Based Targets (SBTi), while promoting social inclusion through treating customers fairly, financial inclusion and digital equity initiatives.
