Two Years of Success: Achieving ESG Targets
Sustainability-Linked Loan
In April 2023, Winbond signed a NT$20 billion sustainability-linked syndicated loan agreement, incorporating specific indicators for carbon reduction, energy saving, and corporate governance into the evaluation criteria. The actual performance of these sustainability indicators was regularly audited, and the results were rewarded to interest rate deduction. In June 2024, the bank confirmed that Winbond had achieved its annual sustainability targets for two consecutive years, resulting in a reduction of NT$1.89 million in interest expenses for 2024. The reduced interest rate conditions will apply to subsequent loan drawdown until the next audit period. Internally, the company also regularly tracked the achievement of various indicators to ensure the implementation of sustainable actions, working together with the syndicated loan group towards the goal of sustainable finance.
Sustainable Fixed Deposits
In 2024, Winbond continued to engage in sustainable development time deposits with banks for a period of at least three months. The funds were lent by the banks to other enterprises, utilized in various compliant green financing projects, or used to support green industries such as renewable energy or solar power plant investments and financing. Through diverse channels, Winbond participated in sustainable finance, further demonstrating its commitment to sustainable development.
