We are committed to giving back and injecting new momentum into Taiwan's social resources.
Social Investment
Led by the Social Philanthropy WG of the Sustainable Committee, CDF is devoted to creating maximum shared value for society stakeholders through joint efforts from CDF Foundation, KGI Charity Foundation and each subsidiary with the goal of achieving a sustainable society. In 2021, CDF launched the “Inclusive Vision” project to promote the development of regional revitalization in Taiwan. With a mid to long-term plan for the next three to five years, CDF aims to leverage our core competencies in venture capital and inclusive financing, along with the cooperation with social enterprises, so as to bridge the urban-rural gap and achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The “Inclusive Vision” project aims to understand the needs of local communities through the work of the Group’s volunteers, and, along with CDF’s financial expertise, to promote the development of regional revitalization in Taiwan. Having been doing business in Taiwan for more than 60 years, CDF has witnessed several industrial transformations in Taiwan. While Taiwan has made a massive leap to the top 20 economies in the world, the gap between urban and rural development has been widening. Over 70% of Taiwan’s population live in the six major cities, which occupies only 30% of Taiwan’s land. Population migration, aging, and low birthrate have become serious challenges for rural development. CDF’s “Inclusive Vision” project progressively fulfills the needs of regional revitalization. It not only injects resources into rural communities but also assists local organizations in building sustainable support systems through connecting social innovations, in an effort to achieve the goals to promote intergenerational collaboration, take care of the elderly, seek common good with the disadvantaged, and coexist with the environment in order to support sustainable development in Taiwan.
