Dow Jones Sustainability Emerging Markets Index Selects CTCI Corporation as Component for 6 Years In A Row and World No.2 Construction & Engineering Company

(Taipei) Nov. 17, 2020— Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) has recently announced its scoring results. Once again, CTCI Corporation has been selected as a component of its Emerging Markets index, the sixth straight year for the company to be included on the list. CTCI Corporation ranks second place among its global peers in the Construction & Engineering (CON) industry category, scoring the highest marks in the Governance & Economic Dimension, the second-highest marks in the Social Dimension, while the Environmental Dimension performance has improved considerably by 17%.



To date, CTCI Corporation is the first and only engineering firm in Taiwan to be selected by DJSI. This signifies that global institutional investors have recognized CTCI Corporation's trust-based management approach and its efforts to align business operations to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations.



Whenever CTCI Corporation is seeking global business opportunities, it is aware of the correlation between the CON industry and climate change, as well as the industry's impact on the latter. The company has sought to address the issue by identifying risks and opportunities via engagement in Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). CTCI Corporation's growth is now primarily driven by green and low-carbon projects. Up until September 2020, total new contract amount for green and low carbon projects has reached NT$109 billion, accounting for 86% of the total contract amount.



In 2020, the company demonstrates stellar business records, achieving year-on-year growth of 48.6% and 37.8% in new contract amount and backlog, or NT$ 127.2 billion and NT$ 280.1 billion, respectively.



CTCI Corporation owes its exceptional ESG performance to the parent Group's four competencies: "Intelligent EPC (iEPC)," "smart plants," "circular economy," and "green engineering." It brings nearly 7,000 colleagues in realizing ESG goals through "Total Participation CSR Excellence Program," setting key performance indicators and strategies to effectively enroot a culture that respects corporate social responsibilities (CSR).

In addition to a CSR program called "CSR Moment" last year— a pioneering program among Taiwanese companies, where colleagues are required to talk about a CSR topic before every meeting starts— this year CTCI Corporation has rolled out new CSR programs, which are "CSR Micro-Film Contest" and "Little Engineers Summer Camp," to further strengthen sustainability education.



CTCI Corporation continues to be the top-100 global engineering companies in both "Top 225 International Design Firms" and "Top 250 International Contractors" categories, according to the annual ranking conducted by the renowned Engineering News-Record magazine. In addition, the company has received several awards in Taiwan for its CSR contributions, including CommonWealth Magazine's Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility Award and Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards' Top 10 Domestic Companies Sustainability Model Awards. Moreover, CTCI Group Chairman John T. Yu has received Global Corporate Sustainability Awards' highest honor, Outstanding Professional, for superior leadership and business performance.



As the most reliable global engineering services provider, CTCI Corporation will continue to commit itself in bringing sustainable and positive impact to the company governance, society, and the environment.
