  • To encourage corporate support for the sports industry, the Ministry of Education's Sports Administration held the 16th Sports Promoter Awards Ceremony on November 29. The Land Bank of Taiwan (LBOT) received three major honors in the sponsorship and promotion categories: the "Gold Award" for sponsorship, the "Long-Term Sponsorship Award," and another "Gold Award" for promotion. The awards were presented by Minister without Portfolio Shih Che to Chairman Ying-Ming He of the Land Bank of Taiwan.   LBOT's badminton team, established nearly half a century ago in line with national sports policies, and its women's tennis team, with a 27-year history, have been instrumental in advancing Taiwan's sports landscape. Every year, LBOT allocates dedicated funding to support team operations. Additionally, the bank constructed its own badminton and tennis facilities in Qingtan, Xindian, and has partnered with 11 key sports schools, providing training expenses and fostering a robust development pipeline from high school and university teams to professional teams. Today, LBOT's athletes are not only frequent winners in competitions but also core members of national teams, earning the institution a reputation as the cradle of Taiwan's badminton and tennis elites.   Beyond nurturing national athletes, LBOT is committed to being a steadfast pillar of support for its players. It allocates tens of millions of New Taiwan dollars annually for player nutrition, professional sports science training, and international competitions. Furthermore, LBOT has established a comprehensive career development system, offering post-retirement training to help athletes transition into banking roles while ensuring a stable and fulfilling career path.   Under its comprehensive training system and robust career development framework, the Land Bank of Taiwan has cultivated numerous rising sports stars. At the recent Paris Olympics, LBOT's Wang Chi-Lin and Lee Yang, known as Taiwan's golden men's doubles duo "Lin-Yang Pair," successfully defended their badminton men's doubles gold medal. This remarkable achievement not only set a new record as Taiwan's first in the sport but also marked the first-ever consecutive gold medal in Olympic badminton men's doubles history. Meanwhile, LBOT's women's tennis player, Tsao Chia-Yi, paired with Taiwanese tennis legend Hsieh Su-Wei, secured fifth place in the Olympic women's doubles, equaling Taiwan's best record to date.   Current LBOT players continue to shine on the international stage. In badminton, notable athletes include the "Lin-Chiu Pair" Wang Chi-Lin and Chiu Hsiang-Chieh, men's singles powerhouse "Left-Handed Cannon" Lin Chun-Yi and "Flash" Su Li-Yang, and rising women's singles talents Wang Yu-Hsi, Lin Hsiang-Hsuan, Lee Pin-Yi, and Liao Jui-Chi. Dominant doubles teams include the "Li Brothers" Lee Fang-Jen and Lee Fang-Chih, as well as Chang Ko-Chi and Chen Hsin-Yuan, Chen Zhi-Ray and Lin Yu-Chieh, and Chen Sheng-Fa and Chen Cheng-Kuan. Women's doubles players Yang Ching-Tun and Chang Ching-Hui, Lin Jhih-Yun and Hsu Yin-Hui, and Lee Chih-Chen and Lin Yen-Yu also remain competitive forces. In mixed doubles, star pairs such as Po Li-Wei and Chang Ching-Hui, Lu Chen and Lee Chih-Chen, Chen Cheng-Kuan and Hsu Yin-Hui, Chiu Hsiang-Chieh and Lin Jhih-Yun, and Chang Ko-Chi and Lin Yen-Yu consistently deliver victories. In tennis, "The Iron Cannon" Liang En-Shuo and "The Rising Star of Tennis" Tsao Chia-Yi have claimed multiple international women's tennis championships, further solidifying the Land Bank of Taiwan's legacy as a powerhouse in nurturing world-class athletes.   Land Bank athletes not only excel on the court but also act as ambassadors for public welfare. Chairman Ying-Ming He has prioritized corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a key objective for LBOT's sports teams. Through annual charity events, the teams engage with disadvantaged youth and promote badminton. Notable initiatives this year include the “Land Bank Invites Lin-Yang Fans for a Badminton Showdown” and charity fair event at the Land Bank of Taiwan Badminton Hall in April, the “Youth Badminton Summer Camp” in Nantun Elementary School in Taichung in July, and two upcoming “Badminton, Here I Come!” teaching events scheduled for November and December at Minquan Elementary School and Bailin High School in Taipei. These activities highlight LBOT's commitment to social welfare and inclusivity.         Beyond its commitment to CSR, LBOT plays a vital role in advancing digital and green finance. In recent years, the bank has actively promoted various loan programs to support enterprises in enhancing their sustainability efforts. These initiatives include “Low-Carbon Transformation and Smart Upgrade Loans,” “Green Building Financing,” and “Renewable Energy Power Generation Equipment Loans – Green Power, Green Profits Marketing.” Additionally, LBOT has collaborated with JCB International to launch eco-friendly financial products, such as the “Do Do Sports Card” made of sustainable materials and the limited-edition Wang Chi-Lin “Yulin Shining Card.” Together, they contribute to creating a sustainable ecosystem where the bank, its customers, society, and the environment thrive in harmony.   Contact person: Chun-Chang Li Tel.: 02-2217-3271 #121

  • In support of sustainable finance and government policies, the Land Bank of Taiwan collaborated with the Leopard Cat Association of Taiwan (LCAT) from September to November 2024. Together, they organized the "Leopard Cat’s Day" outreach program at six elementary schools across Miaoli County, aiming to raise awareness about natural resource conservation and environmental protection. Additionally, the Bank donated 200 packages of “friendly rice” to local social welfare organizations in Miaoli, integrating social welfare with its environmental initiatives.   Since 2020, the LCAT has partnered with the National Property Administration to adopt a critical leopard cat habitat in Tongxiao, Miaoli. Through regular patrols, ecological monitoring, guided tours, and conservation education, the LCAT has remained committed to protecting these endangered species. The leopard cat, listed as an endangered species under Taiwan’s Act on Wildlife Conservation, primarily inhabits low-altitude areas that overlap with human activity zones. In recent years, the National Property Administration has collaborated with various organizations to map leopard cat habitats and connect marginal public lands for conservation. By allowing environmental groups to adopt these lands, the government aims to improve land management while advancing conservation efforts.   This year, from late September to mid-November, the Bank and LCAT hosted conservation education activities at six Miaoli elementary schools: Ciau Wen, Wugu, Jian-Guo, Jhunan, Nanhe, and Wuhu Elementary Schools. These activities introduced students to the leopard cat, its survival challenges, as well as conservation efforts, while underscoring the importance of environmental sustainability. To further demonstrate its commitment, the Bank distributed 200 packages of naturally farmed “friendly rice” to the Miaoli Family Support Center, providing families with safe, healthy food while supporting eco-friendly farming practices that benefit leopard cat habitats. This initiative brings together collective efforts to implement tangible actions in environmental conservation while showcasing the Bank’s passion for social responsibility and care.   As Taiwan’s only fully state-owned bank, Land Bank of Taiwan is deeply committed to sustainability and social care. Beyond initiatives such as youth badminton summer camps and public welfare education, the Bank collaborates with organizations like the LCAT, Wetlands Taiwan, and I Wan Jan Puppet Theater to bring sustainable environmental and cultural education to schools. The Bank also supports disaster relief efforts, such as offering recovery loans for families and enterprises after the April 3 Hualien Earthquake, and has issued sustainability bonds to fund green and socially beneficial projects, fostering Taiwan’s development while fulfilling its corporate social responsibility.   Contact Person: Chu-lin Li Contact Number: 02-2348-3287

  • In strong support of Taiwan’s silicon wafer industry, the bank has arranged a seven-year ESG-linked syndicated loan for Wafer Works, totaling NTD2.76 billion. The loan was oversubscribed by 184%, reflecting the confidence of domestic banks in Wafer Works' operations. On October 15, 2024, the bank’s General Manager, Chih-Chien Chang, represented the syndicate in signing the credit agreement with Wafer Works' Chairman, Ping-Hai Chiao.   Since 2019, the Executive Yuan has promoted the “Three Major Programs for Investing in Taiwan.” As of August 2024, 1,518 companies have been approved under these programs, with total investments reaching NTD2.3 trillion, creating 153,000 jobs. This initiative has driven investments in Taiwan’s silicon, AI, and electric vehicle industries, with companies like Wafer Works enthusiastically responding.   Wafer Works, the world’s sixth-largest silicon wafer supplier and one of the top three providers of low-resistivity heavily-doped wafers, has repeatedly applied under the “Three Major Programs for Investing in Taiwan.” This year, the company increased its investment by NTD17.3 billion to establish a new plant in the Erlin campus of the Central Taiwan Science Park, targeting the 12-inch wafer market for automotive power devices and power management chips to boost revenue.   In addition to offering comprehensive R&D, manufacturing, and sales services for semiconductor silicon wafers, Wafer Works is also a model of environmental sustainability. The new Erlin plant will include solar power systems, reclaimed water, and waste recycling facilities, aligning its green manufacturing goals with the bank’s commitment to green finance.   To support Wafer Works' continued investment in Taiwan, with a focus on environmental sustainability, the bank proactively took the lead as the arranger for this syndicated loan, inviting eight other financial institutions to participate: Taiwan Cooperative Bank, First Commercial Bank, Bank of Taiwan, Hua Nan Bank, Chang Hwa Bank, Taipei Fubon Bank, Taiwan Business Bank, and Entie Commercial Bank. Initially, the loan amount was set at NTD2.3 billion to refinance existing loans, but due to strong participation from the banks, the final amount reached NTD4.24 billion, demonstrating the banks' confidence in Wafer Works' business prospects.   Furthermore, to encourage Wafer Works to implement green manufacturing, the bank incorporated ESG sustainability measures into the loan terms. By meeting specific targets, the company will be eligible for preferential interest rates, fully embodying the principles of green finance.        In 2024, under the theme “Leading Green Finance, Spreading Wings for Sustainability and Prosperity,” the bank has actively pursued credit agreements with leaders in the circular economy and sustainable energy industries. The bank has promoted sustainable loan programs such as “Low-Carbon Transition and Smart Upgrades Loans,” “Green Building Financing,” and “Renewable Energy Equipment Loans – Green Power, Green Profits Marketing,” helping enterprises seize green energy opportunities. The bank aims to guide corporate partners and individual clients toward sustainability, creating a financial ecosystem where banks, society, and the environment thrive together.   Contact: Tzu-Chen Yang Tel.: 02-2348-3391

This initiative focuses on four main pillars: “Green Energy Promotion,” “Industrial Development,” “Technological Innovation,” and “Green Finance,” to transform Taiwan into a safe, clean, and sustainable smart energy island and further positioning it as the Asia-Pacific Green Energy Hub.   As Taiwan continues to succeed in industrial innovation, the bank has actively responded to the vision of green finance. To extend its financial influence, it has integrated sustainable development principles into syndicated loan conditions and implemented responsible lending practices. As of the end of July 2024, the bank had facilitated 31 sustainability-linked syndicated loan projects totaling NTD195.2 billion, with NTD53.8 billion allocated.   In addition to developing an E (Environment), S (Social), G (Governance) credit evaluation process, the bank has utilized the “TESG Sustainability Development Index” database in recent years to gather information on the sustainability practices of publicly listed corporate clients. To further enhance the competitiveness of domestic industries, the bank has introduced several financing projects, including “Solar Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Equipment Loans,” “Green Building Financing Marketing Programs,” and “Low-Carbon Transition, Ocean Sustainability” financing projects. These initiatives encourage enterprises to improve their ESG performance, promote low-carbon transitions, achieve smart upgrades, and generate sustainable ecological benefits.   Aligned with the Financial Supervisory Commission’s “Corporate Governance 3.0 - Blueprint for Sustainable Development,” the “Green Finance Action Plans 2.0 and 3.0,” and the national goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, the bank is actively leveraging its financial influence to guide and support corporate development under the premise of ESG sustainability.

  • The previous headquarters of the Bank is located at Taipei City's Xiangyang Road. In 2005, the Bank cooperated with National Taiwan Museum, and the museum is in charge of restoring the monuments, and subsequent operation and management of the building. Officially opened as "Land Bank Exhibition Hall" in 2010, the museum's exhibition themes include "History of Land Bank of Taiwan" and "Paleontology Exhibition-Epics of life, the evolution", which is about paleontology and evolution. It is ideal place for learning about the origin of life on earth, and Taiwan's endemic species, and it is popular with both parents and children.   To give the children a fantasy tour of the museum, the Bank cooperated with National Taiwan Museum in organizing a two-day  "Overnight in Jurassic Park" charity event, inviting about 30 children from Ministry of the Interior Northern Region Children’s Home.   On August 16, the day of the event, the children visited the museum, observed the fossils of trilobites, mesozoic dinosaurs and cenozoic mammals at a close distance, dressed as different kinds of animals, and had a fun time with personnel from the headquarters. They were treated to an exciting magic show and stayed the night at the "Land Bank Exhibition Hall" with the dinosaurs. On August 17, the children had a knowledgeable trip through a stroll with the guides in the city of Taipei, where they listened to the history and stories of the city, and visited the only Government -owned camphor factory in Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period. The Bank hopes to give the children a memorable summer vacation through this exciting and interesting activity. Most importantly, it hopes that these children are able to remember the happy moments, and experience the beauty of the world.   The Bank is a wholly state-owned bank under the Ministry of Finance. Besides being dedicated in its core financial business, it also concerns for the less privileged and contributes to the community. Through this interesting educational activity, it hopes to  make the less privileged children feel the warmth of the society, as well as encourage the public to participate in more charitable activities.
