Sustainability Taxonomy
Chunghwa Telecom voluntarily reviews and discloses the operating revenue, capital expenditure, and costs and expenses eligible or aligned to the "forward-looking economic activities" in accordance with the "Guidelines for the Determining Sustainable Economic Activities" promulgated by the Financial Supervisory Commission(FSC), Republic of China(Taiwan) in 2022.
The term "forward-looking economic activities" in the guidelines refers to the production of goods for the purpose of environmental friendliness, the provision of advanced and carbon-reducing technologies, or activities that promote low-carbon or carbon reduction effects. Such activities can be directly considered as making a substantial contribution to "climate change mitigation." If these forward-looking economic activities do not cause significant harm to other environmental objectives and social security at the same time, they can be classified as sustainable economic activities.
Since the Guidelines only applies to certain industries and is not intended for the comprehensive telecommunications industry in which Chunghwa Telecom operates, should there be economic activities undisclosed, it does not entail that the other economic activities of CHT are not sustainable activities.
