Insurance is a “people-oriented” industry, and responsible investment is the mission Cathay Life takes upon itself as the leader of the industry

As insurance is a “people-oriented” industry, every time we sale a life insurance policy for a newborn, it represents Cathay Life's promise to protect policyholders their entire life. On the basis of such promise, we not only pursue targets of stable and long-term income in terms of our use of capital, but also seek solid and sustainable organizational operations.

As the leader of the industry and one of the largest institutional investors in Taiwan, we not only fulfill our promises to policyholders and expectations from shareholders, but are also fully committed to making a more meaningful use of our capital. Therefore, despite the risky investment environment in the past few years, characterized by low interest rates for a long time, high volatility in the international market, and losses from differences of interest rates, we constantly give our best to fulfill the obligations as an asset owner and implement responsible investment. Therefore, Cathay Life has been self-complied with the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) on its own initiative, since 2015. On July 25, 2016, Cathay Life signed the Taiwan Stewardship Principles for Institutional Investors issued by TWSE Corporate Governance Center, and became the first insurance company in Taiwan to become a signatory.
