TS Holdings Secures Third Consecutive "Top 1%" Ranking in S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook

At the start of the new year, TS Financial Holdings Co., Ltd (TS Holdings) has reached a new pinnacle in its sustainability performance. In a highly competitive international arena with rigorous selection standards, TS Holdings has once again written a new chapter in Taiwan’s financial history.

S&P Global, a world-renowned sustainability rating agency, recently released The Sustainability Yearbook 2026. TS Holdings has secured the Top 1% distinction in the Banking Industry for the third consecutive year, becoming the first financial institution globally to achieve this distinction in the category.

Welch Lin, President of TS Holdings, stated that achieving the Top 1% ranking for three consecutive years—and being included in the yearbook for eight consecutive years—demonstrates the collective commitment of the entire group to its corporate spirit of “Integrity, Innovation, and Sustainability.”

Lin noted that this recognition not only makes TS Holdings’s sustainability efforts visible to the world but also highlights how Taiwan’s financial sector is ascending to the global stage through ESG excellence, showcasing Taiwan’s remarkable sustainable value. Following the merger, TS Holdings now serves more than 10 million customers and has over one million shareholders. Moving forward, the group will continue expanding its sustainable financial services while integrating physical and digital channels to fully support corporate clients in their low-carbon and net-zero transitions.

The S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook annually publishes the results of the previous year’s Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). The 2026 Yearbook evaluated the sustainability performance of more than 9,200 companies across 59 industries worldwide in 2025. Among them, only 848 top-performing companies were selected; a company must achieve an assessment score ranking  within the top 1% of its industry to receive the coveted “Top 1%” distinction.

Dr. Masson Li, Chief Sustainability Officer of TS Holdings, added that the key to achieving the Top 1% distinction for three consecutive years lies in the continuous integration of sustainability principles across the group’s business units. The sustainability department works closely with various divisions to align operations with the group’s ESG objectives. Strategic directions are regularly reviewed by the Board-level Corporate Sustainability Committee, while the management-level Executive Committee oversees implementation. This interconnected execution positions TS Holdings as a global leader in banking sustainability.

In 2025, MSCI upgraded TS Holdings’s ESG rating to the highest AAA level. In addition, TS Holdings was recognized by TIME as one of the “World’s 500 Most Sustainable Companies” for two consecutive years (2024–2025).

TS Holdings will continue advancing sustainability through three key pillars: Climate Action, Financial Prosperity, and Sustainable Empowerment. By supporting enterprises in their net-zero transformation and strengthening competitiveness, TS Holdings strives to become a “Smart Partner” for sustainable development. Under the global consensus on achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, the group believes that no one is an outsider—everyone can move “From Zero to Hero” and become part of the solution to the climate crisis.
