Taiwan CSD launches ESG ratings dashboard

The Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation (TDCC) has launched the Taiwan ESG Dashboard to allow domestic issuers and investors to access environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings of Taiwanese companies.

In collaboration with FTSE Russell, Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) ESG, Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) and Sustainalytics, the dashboard features a consolidated channel to view ratings from ESG official rating providers.

The dashboard will be delivered on TDCC’s investor relations platform, the leading ESG initiative in Taiwan which encourages sustainable investment and enhances firms’ ESG performance.

Sherman Lin, chairman and CEO of TDCC, commented: “ESG ratings reflect the diversified views of the community. Issuers and investors can utilise ratings as benchmarks to comply with global standards and integrate ESG into their investment process.”

Helena Fung, head of sustainable investment, Asia Pacific, FTSE Russell, added: “We are delighted to collaborate with TDCC on their new ESG initiative, a mark of our ongoing commitment to markets in Taiwan and across the Asia Pacific region.”
