Cathay Life proactively supports the RE100 global initiative, and plans to use 100% renewable electricity at our headquarters by 2025, all operating locations in Taiwan by 2030, and all operating locations overseas by 2050. There are currently three ways to obtain renewable energy:

Installation of PV panels for self-useConstruction of four power plants for selfuse, including Taichung Wuri Building (183kW), Taoyuan Qingpu (125kW), Taoyuan Xpark (45kW) and Zhubei Shixing (64kW). The total installed capacity of the photovoltaic panels is 417kW, with total electricity generation of 518,200 kWh. Among them, Taichung Wuri Building has the highest installed capacity of PVpanels for self-use in the financial industry.
Power purchase agreement (CPPA)To achieve the long-term goal of using renewable energy, we negotiated with the Ministry of Economic Affairs in 2022 to adopt an efficient system to more effectively promote the purchase of green electricity, and signed a corporate power purchase agreement (CPPA).
Purchasing renewable energy certificates(T-REC)Completed the first transaction of Taiwan Renewable Energy Certificates (T-RECs) in Taiwan in 2017.
