We are committed to giving back and injecting new momentum into Taiwan's social resources.
Social Investment
Its expertise in investment has helped CDF realize that education is the most valuable investment. Hence, it started providing educational resources and assisted students from rural areas and disadvantaged groups in overcoming poverty showing them opportunities to move up and become socially competitive. CDF has integrated charity with business while making donations to social philanthropy. With its long commitment to venture capital/private equity business and core competence, CDF has set up an international resource platform, creating a win–win situation for start-ups, strategic investors, and asset managers; through FinTech, we also set up an online charity donation platform free of charge for social-welfare groups to raise funds in a safe and reliable manner. CDF has a medium/long-term plan strategy over a span of three–five years to promote commercial initiatives while paying attention to equality in education. For over a decade, we have extended support to students from rural areas and disadvantaged groups by providing a wealth of educational resources and opportunities through community investment. By increasing the depth and breadth of care, we hope to create a positive and long-term effect, further maximizing social return on investment. Through four types of philanthropic activities (charitable donations, community investment, commercial initiatives, and employee engagement), CDF, CDF Foundation, KGI Charity Foundation, and subsidiaries jointly work to achieve eight of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely, no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being, quality education, decent work and economic growth, reduced inequalities, peace, justice, and strong institutions, and partnerships for the goals, with SDG4: Quality Education, SDG8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, and SDG17: Partnerships for the Goals as our priorities. In the 2020 Taipei FinExpo, CDF set up the CDF Sustainability Pavilion to present global ESG trends and sustainable development issues; we also released the prototype of the "Resilience of Industries on Climate Change Enhancement, RICE," a science-based, credible climate risk management database built with National Taiwan University, Chunghwa Telecom Company, Ltd., and Ernst & Young, database, for the first time and demonstrated our achievements in promoting responsible finance. With volunteer leave offered, our employees volunteered to share with the general public the Company's response to climate change, responsible finance practices, and the entire design process of financial products in hopes of promoting the trends and issues in relation to sustainable development.

Financial Inclusion
We have long cared for the needs of disadvantaged groups and social enterprises. Through the core businesses of subsidiaries, we devote to provide sustainable financial assistance. In recent years, in combination with the opportunities raised from emerging risk, we have continued to develop various products and services related to social welfare in order to create maximum social benefits and give back to society.
Micro-insurance
To provide disadvantaged groups with basic accident insurance to cover death and disability, China Life Insurance began introducing microinsurance products. Microinsurance has lower premiums, lower insured amount, and easy to understand terms. It comes in four types: accident microinsurance, collective accident microinsurance, group accident microinsurance, and group accident microinsurance for the disadvantaged. The goal is to make basic accident insurance covering death and disability affordable for people with low incomes. With the protection of microinsurance, families can avoid the debilitating financial effects of a major accident. At the same time, China Life Insurance is cooperating with banking channels, government agencies, and private organizations to jointly promote microinsurance. Its efforts to develop new sales outlets and diversify insurance products have been recognized by the competent authority for six consecutive years. This enables China Life Insurance to spread insurance guarantees to all corners where care is needed, thus providing strong support for disadvantaged households. When a microinsurance beneficiary suffers an accidental death, China Life Insurance supports his or her family in preparing all needed documents to quickly release insurance compensation. Families appreciate the care and assistance in overcoming the difficult time they face. In this way, insurance fulfills its role as a stabilizing force. Microinsurance has provided coverage for more than 34,000 eligible disadvantaged groups across Taiwan. In 2020, premium income from microinsurance reached NT$ 8.35 million.

Charitable Trusts
To fulfill its responsibility as a corporate citizen, KGI Bank provides professional financial services to ease the financial management burden of individuals or charities. As of 2020, KGI Bank was entrusted with the management of eight charitable trust funds, with assets under management surpassing NT$ 30.03 million.

“Giving You A Hand” Revolving Personal Loan Promotion Project
In 2018, KGI Bank launched “Giving You A Hand,” a micro personal loan project, to support young or skilled people to start their own businesses. The project targets proprietors with professional licenses, low-income households, and sponsors of crowdfunding platforms and grants loans at preferential rates to help them manage their business stably. The offer rate of “Giving You A Hand” is lower than the going rates of mortgages to encourage young people and start-ups to receive credit through legal financial channels. In 2020, in response to COVID-19, a loan project is devised for affected licensed professionals to obtain funds quickly and preferentially. In 2020, about 811 people applied for the project, and about 485 applications were approved with a 60% approval rate.

Taxi Driver's Quick Repayment Project
Most taxi drivers can’t provide a proof of stable income, and are thus rejected by banks when they seek to obtain traditional financial services. They can only turn to the shadow banking system when they are in need of financing. Given its belief in inclusive finance, KGI Bank has worked with Taiwan Taxi, a leading taxi company in Taiwan, to grant microloans to taxi drivers since July 2017. Small loans are granted to taxi drivers who are denied access to credit as they cannot provide a proof of stable income required for credit investigations, and therefore unable to accumulate credit records. KGI Bank leveraged the database created, and long maintained by Taiwan Taxi to build a customized "taxi driver credit rating model." Those taxi drivers that received positive ratings for their services, and are constant service award winners, or have a stable customer base, will be favored in credit assessment. In 2020, about 505 people applied for the project, and about 217 applications were approved with a 43% approval rate. In 2020, the "Future Commerce Award," also known as the "Digital Innovation Oscar," awarded three major awards of "Best Business Model Innovation Gold Award," "Best Product Innovation Gold Award" and "Jury Award." This is also the affirmation of experts and scholars on KGI Bank's specific practice of stimulating financial inclusion.

Low-income Households Loan Project
In the past, low-income households were denied access to financial services as they were unable to provide a proof of stable income. To fulfill inclusive finance and responsibility as a corporate citizen, KGI Bank launched the Low-income Households Loan Project to provide funds for low-income households at lower costs, encouraging them to obtain funds through legal financial channels and thereby establish long-term credit records with financial institutions.

Credit card and loan applications through mobile phone numbers
In 2018, KGI Bank worked with Chunghwa Telecom to pioneer the first FinTech sandbox experiment project in Taiwan, using "Telecom Mobile ID Authentication" to process loan/credit card applications based on integrated personal information and telecom payment ratings. The project aims at providing consumers a more convenient user experience and help young people and micro-business owners who have never had any dealings with banks and have no credit record to get access to credit and other financial services at a more reasonable charge. In 2019, KGI Bank was Taiwan's first bank that had been approved to process "loan or credit card applications through mobile phone numbers" after the promulgation of the "Directions for Application for Pilot Banking Services," making KGI Bank the winner of the "Growth through Innovation Award: FinTech Regulatory Sandbox" in the 2019 Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards (TCSA) and of the "Fintech Innovations Award" in the Taiwan Financial Award 2019. The mobile ID authentication was ended on March 19, 2020 and will continue to use this experience to propose optimized products for various financial services that align with stimulating financial inclusion.

"Quick Repayment" Limited Amount Loan
Given a low base salary, young people do not always have enough cash in hand. Therefore, the age of customers who need small-amount loans is mainly between 25~39 years old. The biggest difference between KGI Bank's "Quick Repayment" Revolving Loan and other loans in the market is that it can be borrowed and repaid anytime, with interest accruing on a daily basis, and repaid early without punitive damage to meet young people's need of funds in the short run at a relatively economic rate.

"Taiwan Star Telecom" Revolving Loan Project and Far EasTone Telecommunications Project
According to the internal data of KGI Bank, young customers who need small-amount loans mainly use the funds to purchase supplies for work such as computers, mobile phones, and motorcycles, followed by temporary household supplies such as household appliances, children's supplies, and house repairs. The amount of such consumer spending is small, but shortages will cause a lot of inconvenience in work and life. As an advocate of positive wealth management, KGI Bank worked with Taiwan Star Telecom to offer concessional loans to new mobile phone applicants. With an annual interest rate of only NT$8 per NT$80,000 borrowed, young customers who have just graduated or entered the workplace without a credit history can obtain funds easily and save up to NT$13,000 on interest and related bank fees.
