The Bank’s proactive efforts in developing comprehensive trust services have paid off! On December 24, 2025, Land Bank secured four awards – Best Philanthropic Trust Innovation Award, Best Sustainable Trust Innovation Award, Best Real Estate Management Trust Innovation Award, and Best Urban Redevelopment Trust Innovation Award – at the 2025 Trust Awards organized by Commercial Times. These awards further recognize Land Bank’s long-term commitment to promoting innovative trust services.
At Land Bank, we have long been committed to public welfare and corporate social responsibility. In 2004, we established our first educational philanthropic trust. In 2016, we combined corporate and philanthropic resources with local governments in 19 counties and cities across Taiwan to promote the “Social Welfare Charitable Care Trust.” This initiative uses donated funds to support low- and middle-income households and people with disabilities, stabilizing their livelihoods and ensuring their long-term care. Moreover, in December 2022, the Bank established Taiwan’s first will‑based nationwide social welfare and philanthropic trust (the Yung‑Tang Wen‑Hui Philanthropic Trust) in the form of a will, setting a new benchmark for public welfare trusts in the country. As of the end of this year, we have initiated 42 philanthropic trusts, successfully raising over NT$350 million to support low- and middle-income households and people with disabilities, benefiting more than 5,600 people. We have long been involved in cultivating philanthropic trusts and have achieved the record of winning the Best Philanthropic Trust Innovation Award for five consecutive years.
As we have made our best efforts to advance trust innovation services, we hold a leading position in the securitization business. In terms of financial asset securitization, we collaborated with leasing companies to launch securitization products based on lease receivables. Some lessees operate in the green energy and energy-efficient equipment manufacturing industries, and through securitization, their capital can be effectively channeled toward production practices with low-carbon, energy-saving, and environmental benefits. This initiative directly drives carbon reduction and energy transition, meeting demands for financial market innovation while aligning with global ESG and sustainable finance trends. Our dedication was recognized with this year’s Best Sustainable Trust Innovation Award.
In the area of real estate securitization, the three real estate investment trust (REIT) funds managed by the Bank have consistently pursued investments in assets that have been revitalized over the years. In response to the recent global restructuring of manufacturing supply chains, the government encourages Taiwanese companies to relocate back to Taiwan, which has contributed to industrial facilities becoming a new trend in the real estate transaction market. By investing in properties with appreciation and income-generating potential, we aim to build a well-balanced asset portfolio for our REITs. In doing this, we are able to generate long-term, stable rental income and capital gains, maximizing the interests of the beneficiaries.
In order to address safety concerns in aging and dangerous buildings, the Bank rebuilt the “Taipei Zhonghua Building” owned by Cathay No. 1 REIT through an urban redevelopment project, making it the first urban renewal case implemented through a REIT fund in Taiwan. The new building was constructed using green design and materials and has received the “Gold” Green Building Label. All units in the new building were fully leased by 2024, generating adequate rental income and asset value. Consequently, the Bank was honored with the Best Real Estate Management Trust Innovation Award.
With the objective of “Urban Redevelopment Trust for Sustainable Prosperity” in mind, Land Bank spares no effort in assisting the revitalization of aging and dangerous buildings. On the path toward attaining sustainability, we actively deepen our existing business foundations to achieve urban redevelopment with a trust mechanism. At Land Bank, local services are emphasized, and “urban redevelopment” trusts are promoted across all branches. Through a trust mechanism, we provide well-rounded solutions, establishing a tripartite trust platform for the landowner, developer, and bank. This approach accelerates land consolidation and construction, promotes urban land redevelopment, and increases the sustainable value of social welfare. By proactively integrating resources and delivering comprehensive one-stop trust services, the Bank was honored with the Best Urban Redevelopment Trust Innovation Award.
Our development – centered on diversified trust services – strives to achieve the goals of innovation, inclusiveness, and sustainability. We are keen to evolve from “fund manager” to “guardian of trust and wealth.” In the future, we will continue to adhere to our core values of “abundance, harmony, enthusiasm, and innovation,” while creating a heartwarming and secure financial environment for society, playing a role that contributes positive energy to the overall environment, society, and economy.
