+## Championing Taiwan's Sustainable Development
+
+TAIPEI, TAIWAN, February 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- KGI Financial Holdings has consistently dedicated itself to promoting local revitalization. As part of its efforts to foster partnerships and build a sustainable ecosystem, the company recently hosted the “Local Revitalization Changemakers+” event to showcase its progress. This gathering brought together 17 exceptional local revitalization teams, along with KGI Financial Holdings’ volunteers and senior executives, to showcase a collaborative model of mutual benefit. By integrating corporate volunteers with internal and external resources, the initiative supports the improvement of business models for revitalization teams while enhancing employees’ sense of fulfillment, reinforcing the company's commitment to sustainability.
+
+Since 2021, KGI Financial Holdings has been driving the "Inclusive Vision" program, leveraging the expertise of its volunteers and the core strengths of the financial sector to connect stakeholders' resources and promote local revitalization across Taiwan. CDIB Capital Chairman Angelo Koo highlighted the urgent need to address Taiwan's challenges, including population decline in rural areas, aging demographics, and low birth rates. He stressed the importance of collective efforts to support local revitalization projects, strengthen regional identities, and create a foundation for balanced urban-rural development—paving the way for a sustainable future for Taiwan.
+
+In 2024, KGI Financial Holdings launched the “Local Revitalization Changemakers+” project to amplify its social impact. This initiative unites exceptional local revitalization teams from across Taiwan, identifies their challenges, and pairs them with employees whose expertise aligns with their needs. Guided by industry mentors, these collaborations develop tailored solutions to support rural revitalization.
+
+Over the past year, the project has completed three cohorts, engaging 85 corporate volunteers who contributed over 5,000 service hours. During each three-month program, volunteers applied service design principles to co-create sustainable solutions with local teams. By leveraging empathy and professional skills, they streamlined financial operations, optimized business models, and facilitated corporate partnerships. These efforts have generated more than NT$2.4 million in revenue for participating revitalization teams, marking a significant step toward sustainable rural development.
+
+KGI Financial Holdings remains dedicated to driving regional development through tangible support for local revitalization. Looking ahead, the company will continue to embrace an empathetic approach while leveraging its financial expertise to create mutual value with revitalization teams and foster sustainable growth. Angelo Koo emphasized the importance of enterprises using their influence to cultivate and strengthen the concept of local revitalization, enabling it to thrive. With a focus on fostering local connections and maintaining a global outlook, KGI Financial Holdings aspires to showcase Taiwan's unique beauty to the world.

+## CDIB Capital responds to Earth Hour initiated by the World Wide Fund for Nature for 9 consecutive years.
+
+For the 53rd annual Earth Day this year, we continue to uphold the theme of "Invest in Our Planet" and call for a globally aligned effort in protecting the Earth without delay. Every investment towards this goal will be crucial in bringing about sustainable development for the planet.
+
+As an ESG leader in the financial industry, CDIB Capital International ("CDIB Capital") has made concrete commitments and taken action to bring a new outlook for the planet. CDIB Capital is not only the first financial holding company in Taiwan to set a goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2045, but also systematically tracks its carbon reduction progress through the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), demonstrating its commitment to sustainability that is aligned with international standards. Angelo Koo, Chairman of CDIB Capital, believes that the financial industry is pivotal in promoting global sustainability. With this in mind, it is essential to carefully plan every step of the way and improve corporate sustainability and resilience in order to have substantive influence.
+
+In addition to pursuing a low-carbon sustainable vision and goals, CDIB Capital has demonstrated its determination to reduce carbon emissions and protect the Earth through tangible actions. Since 2015, CDIB Capital has participated for 9 consecutive years in the Earth Hour event initiated by the World Wildlife Fund for Nature. This event brings together the offices of CDIB Capital Group, as well as 133 subsidiary buildings including those of KGI Bank, KGI Securities, and China Life, to voluntarily turn off its outside lights and non-essential lighting equipment of all buildings from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 25th, reducing energy use and contribute towards reducing earth's rising temperature.
+
+Responding to the challenge of carbon reduction, not only are many companies taking action, but employees are also directly participating through a series of actions such as Earth Day, Lights Off Day, reducing paper and plastic use, green procurement, opting for public transportation, and digitization of services. They also practice low-carbon lifestyles, such as encouraging vegetarianism by having a "no red meat" day in the employee cafeteria each month and cooking with a no-waste and energy-conserving mindset to reduce food waste and garbage. In addition, a CDF Walker walking marathon was held for employees that formed teams, and through their combined effort reached a total of 670 million steps, equivalent to reducing 96,000 kilograms of carbon emissions.
+
+Chairman Angelo Koo of CDIB Capital stated that coexisting with the Earth is a group effort. In addition to companies reducing carbon emissions from their own operations, employees are also encouraged to build energy-conserving habits into their everyday actions, working together to create a sustainable future for the Earth.

+
+Taipei, Taiwan (Merxwire) - As spring settles in and the weather warms up for outdoor activities, China Development Financial Holding Corporation (CDF) has decided to use the sport of tennis to support the future goals of young players aged 12 to 18 years old. As part of the broader CDF Foundation Cultivation Plan, the "Dumbo Tennis Exhibition Competition" was organized to allow senior managers, such as the Executive VP of CDIB Capital International, and employees to play off with the young participants.
+
+CDIB is the private equity arm of CDF, with Angelo Koo as Chairman and CEO. Chairman Koo believes that "education is the most valuable investment" and that only education and knowledge can help children with insufficient resources to escape poverty. The firm, through China Development Foundation also led by Mr. Koo, launched the Dumbo Scholarship program to support disadvantaged but gifted school children in Taiwan to develop their interests and unlock their potential.
+
+As the skilled youth have competed at a high level with varying degrees of success, the purpose of the mentorship was primarily to have an opportunity to reach out and instill concepts for success. Players were encouraged to persist in doing their best, share their professional playing experiences with others, or use their tennis achievements to apply for foreign scholarships.
