E.SUN Credit Card Supports for the Planet

Taiwan's First Carbon Neutral Credit Card

The "E.SUN World Card" and "E.SUN ETC EasyCard Titanium Card/Signature Card" obtained the first-ever "Carbon Footprint Label Certification" in the financial industry in 2016. In 2017, E.SUN Bank were further obtained the "Carbon Footprint Reduction Label" and "PAS 2060:2014" Carbon Neutral Certification, making E.SUN credit card the first credit cards in Taiwan to achieve both national and international dual certification. In 2019, E.SUN Bank expanded carbon labeling certification to its entire range of credit cards and purchased carbon credits from wind power generated by local renewable energy in Changhua Coastal Industrial Park, Taiwan, for carbon offsetting. This initiative was verified by SGS, an independent third party, leading to the declaration of carbon neutrality.
E.SUN Bank is the first financial institution to promote carbon neutrality for credit cards. All credit cards issued from 2019 to 2023 have obtained "PAS 2060:2014" Carbon Neutral Certification from third-party certification bodies. As the carbon neutrality standard transitions in 2024, E.SUN Bank plans to align with the latest standards and actively promote the acquisition of "ISO 14068" Carbon Neutral Certification for its credit cards, continuing to fulfill social responsibility.

Introduction to Carbon Neutrality and Carbon Label

Carbon Footprint Label

The Carbon Footprint Label refers to the total amount of greenhouse gases produced throughout a product's life cycle, from raw material acquisition, manufacturing, distribution and sales, to consumer use and final disposal or recycling, converted into carbon dioxide equivalents.

E.SUN Bank completed the carbon footprint label certification for entire series of credit cards in 2019, and extended the certification in 2021. Starting in 2022, the carbon footprint of each issued E.SUN credit card is 1.1 kg of carbon dioxide equivalents.

「一生一樹」植樹計畫

共創臺灣生態永續發展

玉山金控長期致力於ESG永續發展，積極投入環境與生態保育。面對氣候變遷所帶來的挑戰，玉山攜手林務局推動「一生一樹 玉山植樹」計畫，每年完成1萬棵臺灣原生樹苗栽植撫育工作，期望藉由親手種下樹苗，讓大家瞭解種植原生且適合當地環境樹種的意義，除了豐富當地生物多樣性外，更能降低二氧化碳濃度，減緩地球暖化。

結合環保公益訴求的「玉山御璽卡」，近幾年來持續推動「一生一樹 玉山植樹」計畫。植樹被肯定為最有效減碳及緩解氣候變遷的方式，同時關係著森林的生物多樣性。此項計畫已種下了逾40,000棵台灣原生樹種，估計每年可吸附720.9公噸的二氧化碳，若以1座大安森林公園1年吸收389公噸二氧化碳估計，約相當於1.8座大安森林公園的減碳量，有助減緩溫室效應、淨化空氣品質及維護生物多樣性。

邀請大家一同響應，為環境永續盡一份心力。
