CPC Corporation and E.SUN Bank sign biodiversity conservation MoU, pledging joint commitment to environmental sustainability
CPC Corporation ("CPC") today (23rd) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on biodiversity conservation with E.SUN Commercial Bank, signaling a joint commitment to promoting environmental sustainability. The agreement was formally signed by Jane Liao, CPC's Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer, and Lun-yu Chang, Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer of E.SUN Bank.
This collaboration underscores CPC's proactive efforts in corporate sustainability transformation while strengthening cross-sector cooperation between the energy and financial industries. Moving forward, the partnership will leverage the respective strengths of both organizations to enhance ecological conservation and environmental stewardship, reflecting a shared commitment to safeguarding Taiwan's natural heritage and advancing sustainable development.
CPC has long been dedicated to advancing low-carbon operations while actively preserving natural ecosystems. At the Guantang LNG Terminal, large areas of algae reef have been retained, alongside ongoing monitoring and conservation of algal reefs and Polycyathus chaishanensis, as well as the restoration of breeding habitats for little terns. The company also promotes environmental education initiatives.
In 2023, CPC established Taiwan's first nationwide Ecological Conservation Public Trust Fund, supporting a variety of domestic conservation projects and related research. Guided by the principle of "Ports as Conservation Areas," CPC launched the Yongan Coral Ark Species Preservation Program and initiated coral ecosystem monitoring around the Shen'ao Port Supply Service Center. The company is concurrently identifying ecologically valuable hotspots across other operational sites, including Taoyuan and Kaohsiung refineries, and the Shimen and Su'ao oil supply centers, to conduct comprehensive marine and terrestrial habitat surveys and conservation interventions.
In alignment with the international Convention on Biological Diversity, CPC has committed to the 30X30 goal of conserving 30% of terrestrial and marine areas globally. The company has submitted certification applications for two terrestrial and one marine operational sites under OECMs (Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures), with review outcomes expected by the end of this year. These efforts underscore CPC's long-term focus on natural asset management, delivering measurable benefits for ecological habitats and biodiversity.

CPC has achieved concrete results in biodiversity conservation across its operational sites through collaboration with academic institutions and external professional organizations. Building on this foundation, CPC today announced a cross-sector partnership with E.SUN Bank. The joint initiatives will focus on promoting biodiversity protection, pursuing OECMs certifications for terrestrial and marine areas, and supporting the global 30X30 conservation target.
Amid the global green transition, CPC remains committed to its mission of ensuring stable energy supply while safeguarding the environment and protecting ecosystems. Together with E.SUN Bank, CPC aims to chart a sustainable roadmap that integrates financial engagement with ecological stewardship, providing a forward-looking model for corporate sustainability in Taiwan.
