Cathay FHC Advances Sustainability Frontiers at 2025 Cathay Sustainable Finance and Climate Change Summit
Spotlighting Nature-Positive Strategies and Cross-Sector Solutions for People, Planet, and Resilience 'Asia now has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to lead the low-carbon transition.'— Cathay FHC President, Chang-Ken Lee TAIPEI, TAIWAN, August 10, 2025 / / -- Amid rising geopolitical volatility and shifting sustainability priorities, long-term sustainable transformation requires bold, forward-looking strategies that connect systems and stakeholders. On July 9, Cathay Financial Holdings (Cathay FHC) convened over 5,000 registered participants for the 9th Cathay Sustainable Finance and Climate Change Summit, reinforcing its role as a regional platform for accelerating climate action. Held under the theme 'Shaping a New Vision for Sustainability,' the 2025 summit focused on two urgent fronts: the evolving landscape of sustainable finance in a disrupted world, and nature-positive, socially inclusive business transformation. The summit's growing influence was evidenced by participation from over 2,500 institutions, including more than 700 listed companies representing nearly 80% of Taiwan's total market capitalization. Notably, over half of major high-emission industries were represented, with board-level participation surging nearly 90% year-on-year—signaling increased executive-level commitment to climate action. 'Asia's Moment to Lead' Cathay FHC President Chang-Ken Lee set the stage for the summit by commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement and noting the critical five-year window to achieve 2030 climate targets. 'While political headwinds in the West have slowed momentum, Asia now has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to lead the low-carbon transition,' Lee said. Citing data from the Asian Venture Philanthropy Network (AVPN), Lee noted that Asia is projected to account for up to 40% of global climate investment. Lee also highlighted the rising strategic relevance of water resources, biodiversity, and innovative financing mechanisms such as biodiversity bonds and nature-based insurance. Cathay FHC continues to advance this agenda through industry-leading efforts, including co-developing biodiversity credit methodologies, mobilizing corporate engagement, and expanding low-carbon finance. As of the end of 2024, Cathay FHC and its subsidiaries had mobilized TWD 375.7 billion (USD 11.6 billion) in low-carbon investments, a 13.7% year-on-year increase. Taiwan's industrial strengths in precision machinery, shipping, automation, and e-mobility also position it to play a leading role in the global green economy. 'Strengthening the Policy-Private Sector Interface' In a keynote address marking his first year in office, Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) Chairperson Chin-Lung Peng, reaffirmed Taiwan's commitment to green finance. He introduced three priority initiatives: (1) The development of a national carbon emissions database; (2) The publication of guidelines for sustainable economic activities; and (3) Strategic incentives for financial institutions to support emerging green sectors. During the morning session, titled 'The Evolving Landscape of Sustainable Finance in Times of Disruption,' FSC Chairperson Peng, Taiwan Stock Exchange President Edith Lee, and other distinguished guests provided stakeholders with updates on emerging financial policy directions and evolving sustainability disclosure frameworks. Rebecca Mikula-Wright, CEO of the Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC), warned that 73% of Taiwan's listed firms face significant environmental risks. She cited a research from the Government of Singapore Investment Corp (GIC) estimating that global investment in climate adaptation could reach USD 9 trillion by 2050, urging Taiwan to accelerate its efforts in green power, low-carbon technology, and just transition strategies. Also joining the summit for the first time was Hiro Mizuno, former CIO of Japan's Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), following his earlier appearance at Cathay FHC's COP29 side event. In his keynote, he stated: 'ESG is not an ideology—it is a framework for understanding risk. Financial institutions must become accelerators of the energy transition to turn ideas into impact.' He emphasized that despite increasing political resistance in the West, Asia and Taiwan are uniquely positioned to lead. Other speakers included Wen-Chen Shih, Deputy Minister of Environment, who presented Taiwan's updated net-zero transition roadmap, and Brenda Hu, Director General of FSC, who outlined the policy vision for positioning Taiwan as a regional sustainable finance hub. The morning concluded with a high-level panel discussion, 'Shaping a New Sustainable Paradigm,' featuring President Chang-Ken Lee and global experts envisioning a new sustainable finance architecture responsive to shifting global dynamics. 'From Climate Action to Nature Capital' The afternoon session, 'Innovative Solutions for Nature-Positive and Socially Inclusive Business Transformation,' pivoted to explore the intersection of ecosystems, biodiversity, and human well-being. Shan-Chi Liu, President of Cathay Life Insurance opened the session, followed by Jens Nielsen, CEO of the World Climate Foundation (WCF), who spoke on the evolution of sustainability—from climate to nature—and the integration of nature capital into financial markets. He also highlighted the rapid emergence of biodiversity credit markets in Asia. Sophia Cheng, CIO of Cathay FHC, presented actionable pathways for a just and resilient transition, stressing the importance of aligning environmental and social outcomes. Patrick Yeung, Assistant Director of AVPN, discussed how sustainable finance can support equitable energy transitions across Asia. Ming-Jer Tsai, Director of National Taiwan University Experimental Forest, shared a global overview of biodiversity credit developments and introduced the Asian Biodiversity Credit Alliance, a newly formed regional coalition of universities working credible methodologies. Peter Pu, Managing Director of the British Standards Institution (BSI) Group NE Asia, addressed the increasing pressure on Taiwanese enterprises to align with nature-related risk frameworks and disclosure requirements. The summit concluded with the panel, 'Towards a Sustainable Future- The Challenging Nature Actions Across Diverse Industries,' featuring: Chih-Pang Lin, President of Cathay Power Inc.; Aravindan Srinivasan, Executive Director of AVPN; Shalom Chen, Chief Sustainability Officer of L'Oréal Taiwan; Viola Lin, Vice Chairperson of Ørsted Taiwan. Panelists shared how companies across sectors are tackling nature-related risks and embedding strategies into their business models. Cathay FHC reaffirmed its commitment to Sustainable Finance in Action, with a long-term goal of achieving 100% renewable energy across global operations by 2050. A recognized leader in climate finance, Cathay FHC's energy transition portfolio reached TWD 73.3 billion by the end of 2024—an 80% increase since 2021—signaling strong momentum toward a nature-aligned, inclusive, and resilient economy.

AI Boom, Tariff Shield, Apple Surge: Why TSMC Might Be the Next Big Winner
TSMC (NYSE:TSM) just clocked a 26% sales jump in July, reaching NT$323.2 billion ($10.8 billion)a figure that not only lines up with Street expectations for the quarter but also adds fuel to the broader narrative: AI demand isn't slowing down anytime soon. Year to date, revenue is up 38% versus 2024, even with currency pressure from a stronger Taiwanese dollar. The company is sprinting to keep up with outsized demand from heavyweights like Nvidia and AMD, reinforcing its place as the backbone of the AI hardware supply chain. There's also a political tailwind at play. TSMC's shares in Taipei hit record highs after the Trump administration introduced new chip tariffstariffs that TSMC could dodge thanks to its deep investment in U.S. manufacturing. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, this gives TSMC and GlobalWafers a clear relative advantage over other Taiwan-based peers like United Microelectronics and ASE, who may be left exposed. If this trend holds, U.S.-based chipmakers like GlobalFoundries and Amkor could start capturing share from the slower movers. And the story goes beyond AI. TSMC still supplies a massive share of smartphone chipsand that market is waking up. Sony flagged a recovery in mobile demand during its earnings, and Apple just reported its strongest quarterly revenue growth in over three years, driven by robust China performance. Apple also expects mid-to-high single-digit growth this quarter. That outlook, paired with AI tailwinds and tariff immunity, could set up TSMC for a powerful second-half run.

Taiwan Semiconductor Rides AI Wave To Double-Digit Revenue Gains in July
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:TSM) on Friday reported consolidated net revenue of approximately 323.17 billion New Taiwanese dollars (roughly $10.66 billion) for July 2025, up 22.5% quarter-over-quarter, backed by the artificial intelligence frenzy. The contract chipmaker's topline rose by 25.8% year-over-year (Y/Y). The company's revenue for January through July 2025 reached 2.1 trillion New Taiwanese dollars (roughly $69.3 billion), rising 37.6% Y/Y. Taiwan Semiconductor stock gained 23% August 7, Taiwan Semiconductor jumped ~5% in overnight trade after Taiwanese officials confirmed the chipmaker is exempt from President Donald Trump's proposed 100% tariffs on semiconductor chips. National Development Council chief Liu Chin-ching told parliament that Taiwan Semiconductor qualifies for the exemption because it operates U.S. factories, including fabrication plants in Arizona, under its $165 billion investment commitment. The move eases investor concerns as Taiwan Semiconductor supplies chips to major U.S. clients like Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). CEO C.C. Wei has said U.S. tariffs pose 'indirect headwinds' but noted that demand for AI chips 'consistently outpaces supply,' keeping the company well-positioned despite trade tensions. On July 17, the chipmaker gained over 4% after it reported second-quarter results that exceeded analyst expectations, fueled by strong global demand for its advanced processors used in artificial intelligence. View more earnings on TSM Taiwan Semiconductor reported net sales of $30.07 billion, up 38.6% Y/Y and 11.3% Q/Q, beating its guidance range and topping the $30.04 billion consensus. Net income rose 60.7% Y/Yto $2.47 per share, above the $2.37 estimate. Gross margin expanded to 58.6%, and operating margin climbed to 49.6%, driven by high demand for 3-nm and 5-nm technologies, which accounted for 60% of total revenue. The company guided third-quarter revenue between $31.8 billion and $33.0 billion, with gross margin projected at 55.5% to 57.5% and operating margin at 45.5% to 47.5%, supported by continued strength in leading-edge process technologies. Key revenue drivers included High-Performance Computing (60% of revenue) and Smartphones (27%), with North America contributing 75% of sales. Management also cited positive momentum from the U.S. government easing certain chip export restrictions to China, enabling Nvidia to resume H20 AI chip sales. Chairman C.C. Wei highlighted a $100 billion expansion of U.S. manufacturing investment, adding to a prior $65 billion commitment for three Arizona fabs. However, he cautioned that potential U.S. tariffs on Taiwan could temper fourth-quarter momentum despite no immediate change in customer orders. On August 7, Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives called Apple's new $100 billion U.S. investment a strategic move to ease Trump administration tensions and secure long-term growth under tariff pressure. Ives linked the plan to Apple's partnerships with Taiwan Semiconductor and other chipmakers, projecting over 19 billion U.S.-made chips in 2025. He said the initiative strengthens domestic supply chains and boosts Apple's standing with the White House, even as large-scale U.S. iPhone production remains unlikely.
