Beyond strengthening Taiwan's network resilience, Chunghwa Telecom provides the government and customers alike with more comprehensive and high-quality communication services.
Facilitating Digital Transformation Across Industries, Chunghwa Telecom Collaborates with Global Ecosystem Partners
Chunghwa Telecom is driving innovation through seven cutting-edge technologies*, powering 2C2B2G intelligent applications. Collaborating with strategic partners, the company aims to construct a digital ecosystem, facilitating the transformation and upgrading of various industries and the entire population. At the same time, Chunghwa Telecom is actively expanding into international markets, providing a comprehensive range of ICT services to Taiwanese businessmen, while promoting Taiwan's smart applications on the global stage.
Furthermore, there are plans to increase investments in film, television, and sports events.

Stepping Up for Fraud Prevention, Chunghwa Telecom Combats Scams with a Comprehensive Approach
In response to recently pervasive telecom fraud, Chairman Kuo emphasizes that Chunghwa Telecom is resolutely committed to preventing and combating fraud, with zero tolerance for telecom scams. Since May 2023, the company has been at the forefront among domestic peers in introducing comprehensive measures to block overseas calls with the "+886 0-9" prefix, effectively achieving a 100% interception rate. Additionally, Chunghwa Telecom has implemented full voice warning services for overseas calls to both fixed-line and mobile phones (including VoLTE), utilizing intelligent anti-fraud technology to protect customers from falling victim to scams. Furthermore, using keyword filtering, the company offers precise interception of fraudulent messages from both domestic and overseas sources along with the "123 Six-Digit Exclusive SMS" service. On the other hand, AI-enhanced internet security services have been deployed to prevent malicious links, ransomware, and phishing threats, safeguarding the financial security of the populace on all fronts.
“We're Determined to Win This Battle!” Sustainability Toward Net Zero, Moving Forward with Determination and No Looking Back
Chairman Kuo points outs that Chunghwa Telecom's determination towards achieving sustainable net-zero goals is resolute and its objectives are clear. In addition to leading commitments such as halving carbon emissions by 2030, joining EV100 by 2030, RE100 by 2040, and achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, the company has implemented concrete measures such as equipment replacement for energy efficiency, smart energy-saving initiatives in data centers, phasing out 3G, pioneering 5G C-RAN, advancing IOWN, signing Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPA), and constructing and contracting solar photovoltaic fields.
These actions have successfully decoupled revenue from carbon emissions. Chunghwa Telecom has also leveraged the collective group strength to promote sustainability, collaborating with Next Commercial Bank to introduce automatic payments for all Chunghwa Telecom bills, enabling paperless billing incentives, and encouraging customers to reduce carbon footprints. Collaborating with supply chain partners that share the same eco-friendly perspective, the company is driving the transformation across the ICT ecological chain towards net-zero, fostering a win-win ecosystem.
On biodiversity, Chunghwa Telecom has taken the lead last year among industry peers by committing to achieve Net Positive Impact (NPI) on biodiversity and No Net Deforestation (NND) by 2030. The company has been actively involved in conservation afforestation and tree planting initiatives across Taiwan, aiming to plant 150,000 trees within eight years to promote habitat conservation. Moreover, Chunghwa Telecom is in the process of integrating no-deforestation policies into its daily operations and is actively promoting measures such as Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECM) and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) reports to comprehensively contribute to biodiversity conservation efforts.
Looking ahead, Chunghwa Telecom will continue dedicating itself to leveraging cutting-edge information and communication technologies to empower Taiwan's Six Core Strategic Industries and Five Trustable Industries. Supporting businesses around Taiwan, the company is committed to co-creating a dual-axis transformation together. Chairman Kuo calls out sentimentally, "For the love of Taiwan, we will advance sustainably. We also look forward to rallying the entire country to strive for net zero emissions together, making a sustainable and prosperous future come true for all."
