Green Workplace

• Sharing office space to enhance space utilization efficiency
  With a design concept of openness, flexibility and sharing, Cathay Life reduces operational carbon emissions by creating a new type of workplace. The shared workspaces on each floor are revitalized, providing employees with spaces to work, hold meetings, and take a rest. This will increase employee happiness, and achieve energy saving and carbon reduction. Based on business suitability, we have allocated shared seats for 70%-100% of employees in the department, thereby reducing the actual floor area, and increasing the per capita energy consumption per square meter.
• Pursuant to the Cathay FHC Environment and Energy Policy
  Cathay Life began implementing energy and environmental management systems (ISO 14001 and ISO 50001) in buildings with high electricity consumption since 2013. Each year, the service life and energy consumption of our equipment are inspected using international standards, and the equipment is maintained and replaced accordingly.
• Established the Responsible Property Investment and Management Policy
  All of our new buildings use eco-friendly energy efficient designs of green buildings, e.g., indicators for lower water consumption and carbon emissions. We have also included rainwater and reclaimed water recycling systems and PVsolar panels into the evaluations for real estate development, in order to achieve circular management and continue lowering the electricity required for operations.
