The Taiwan Stock Exchange comprehensively overhauls Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles for TWSE/GTSM Listed Companies

Publish Date︰2015-01-14 18:48

To coordinate with the implementation of measures in the Corporate Governance Roadmap, the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) comprehensively overhauls “Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles for TWSE/GTSM Listed Companies.” These principles offer guidance that meet practical needs and agree with international development trends for TWSE/GTSM listed companies. They also help corporations to foster a corporate culture that emphasizes corporate governance.

The TWSE states that, since “Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles for TWSE/GTSM Listed Companies” became effective on 2002 to this day, it has been modified many times. The major purpose of such modifications is helping TWSE/GTSM listed companies to create sound corporate governance systems and promote healthy development of securities markets. To allow the principles to evolve with time and become a benchmark that guides practices, the TWSE uses corporate governance trends, examples worldwide and issues that have grabbed the attention of the public in Taiwan in recent years as reference. Furthermore, after discussions with various related businesses and institutional investors engaged in corporate governance, TWSE has made substantial amendments to the principles after a comprehensive review: 19 articles were amended, 1 article was added, and 6 articles had revisions to their text.

The TWSE states that the focus of this revision is based on the planning of the“Corporate Governance Roadmap 2013” announced by the FSC. The revision also takes the current condition of corporate governance in neighboring Asian countries and relevant regulations in developed nations into consideration. The revised principles added provisions in the diversity in the composition of board members. The revised principles also require appropriate diversity of the board members based on the companies’ operations, types of businesses, and development needs. At least, the diversity measures should add standards for the two major dimensions that are basic qualifications and values (including gender, age, nationality, and culture) and professional knowledge and skills (including professional backgrounds, professional skills, and industry experience such as law, accounting, industry, finance, marketing, or technology).

Additionally, to improve the protection for whistleblowers and the internal communication between independent directors, supervisors and members of the audit committee, and internal audit supervisors or CPAs who are work in the capacity as independent external auditors, the TWSE added measures that encourage TWSE/GTSM listed companies to provide channels for whistleblowers and the regulation to protect them. The TWSE also added measures that provide communication channels and mechanisms between independent directors, supervisors and members of the audit committee, and internal audit supervisors or CPAs who are work in the capacity as independent external auditors. Such measures are incorporated into internal control regulations to improve internal oversight of corporations.

The TWSE also indicates that this revision uses the content of board performance review table that is practiced worldwide for the purpose of providing a basis for the regulations and procedures of self-review and peer review for boards of TWSE/GTSM listed companies. The TWSE added dimensions and examples of indicators of self-review and peer review for boards. The TWSE also encourages companies to codify the regulations and procedures on performance review for boards so that these companies have examples to follow.

The TWSE emphasizes that companies listed on TWSE and GTSM should refer to the newly revised Corporate Governance Best Practice Principles, and update or amend their own principles accordingly. In addition, they should also review and improve on existing systems and processes, as well as incorporate the content of their principles into daily operating activities for the implementation of corporate governance.

The TWSE is increasing efforts in its promotion toward listed companies on wider adoption of electronic voting

Publish Date︰2015-01-12 17:19

The Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) indicates that, because TWSE/GTSM listed companies with over $2 billion of paid-in capital and over 10,000 shareholders are required to adopt electronic voting for shareholders’ meetings from January 1, 2016, the TWSE is providing an “Information session for electronic voting and nomination system for candidates of directors and supervisors” today and tomorrow to promote better understanding of regulations and practices of electronic voting. The TWSE is inviting the FSC, GTSM, Taiwan Depository and Clearing Corporation (TDCC), Public Company Shareholder Services Association, and 240 TWSE/GTSM listed companies that meet the conditions of paid-in capital and shareholders listed above.

According to the supervisor of Corporate Governance Department at the Taiwan Stock Exchange, Taiwan has been planning for the promotion of electronic voting as suggested by the Executive Yuan’s “Policy Agenda and Action Plan to Strengthen Corporate Governance ” in 2003. In 2005, the government amended Article 177-1 of Company Act, granting statutory authority to electronic voting. Companies may adopt electronic voting voluntarily. As international exposure expands and the use of technology becomes more prevalent, and to resolve the issue of clustering of shareholders’ meeting in Taiwan, there is increased demand for increasing the channels through which shareholders can exercise their voting rights and encouraging shareholders to participate in the operation of corporations. Therefore, the regulator, FSC, has required certain large TWSE/GTSM listed companies to adopt electronic voting since 2012. Additionally, with the promotion of the adoption of the nomination system in the election of directors and supervisors, in 2014, 80% of the companies required to adopt electronic voting have stated in their articles of incorporation that the election of directors and supervisors is processed with the nomination system. The high adoption of the nomination system by companies adopting e-voting can effectively reduce abstained votes cast by investors for the motion to elect directors and supervisors through electronic voting system. Electronic voting also helps shareholders to exercise their rights of shareholders and improve the standard of corporate governance in Taiwan.

According to the TDCC, the use of electronic voting is increasing. For example, in 2014, 208 companies have adopted electronic voting (including 192 that are required to use electronic voting and 16 that do so voluntarily). It is expected that more than half of TWSE/GTSM listed companies will adopt electronic voting by 2016. The adoption of electronic voting not only improves the level of corporate governance but also helps the implementation of shareholder activism. The representative from the Public Company Shareholder Services Association shares their experience and suggests that, when there are shareholders voting against or abstentions through electronic voting, the company should discuss and vote motion by motion on the day of shareholders’ meeting. This approach is more clear-cut. The nomination system for director and supervisor candidates is recommended to reduce the percentage of invalid/abstained votes cast by shareholders.

The Number of TWSE-Listed Companies that Compiled CSR Reports Increased Significantly in 2014

Publish Date︰2015-01-16 18:13

153 Companies Compiled CSR Reports in 2014

The Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) announced that a total of 153 TWSE-listed companies published CSR (corporate social responsibility) reports in 2014, making an increase of 43 from 2013 at an annual growth rate of 39%. These statistics show that the increased attention and focus in Taiwan on corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, and other issues related to sustainability. In addition, increasingly more TWSE-listed companies have been voluntarily disclosing non-financial performance, which stakeholders emphasize.

Electronics Industry with Most Companies at 74, Financial Services and Insurance Industry with Highest Proportion at 54%

According to statistics, the industry with the most companies that compiled CSR reports was the electronics industry at 74, followed by the financial services and insurance industry at 19 and other industries at 11. In regards to the proportion of each industry that compiled CSR reports, the financial services and insurance industry holds the highest rate at 54%, followed by the shipping industry at 45%. The figures for other industries, steel industry, and electronics industry also reached 26%, 20%, and 19%, respectively. The reason that more than half of the financial services and insurance industry compiled CSR reports is due to the fact that it serves as an important pillar for overall economic development, has an enormous range of stakeholders. In addition, they have relatively greater resources and are motivated by benchmarks. For the shipping and steel industries, the reason for their higher rates of reporting is perhaps due to prevailing transnational business models and industrial consumption. Furthermore, increased global voluntary initiatives, supply chain requirements, investor attention, and social expectations also serve as important factors for prompting each industry to publish CSR reports.

As Many as 90% of Those Companies Adopt the International Standard GRI

The TWSE states that the proportion of companies that adopted sustainability reporting guidelines released by Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI) while compiling CSR reports has reached 90%, thereby increasing the comparability of CSR reports. Additionally, 34% of these companies used GRI G4.0, which is the latest version, in the compilation of such reports. This ratio is expected to continue rising with the promotion of international trends and decrees. For 2015, companies from the food, financial and chemical industries, as well as those with paid-in capital of more than NT$10 billion, will all be compelled to compile CSR reports. Approximately 170 companies are included in that category, and nearly 80 companies are expected to voluntarily release CSR reports - a total of approximately 250 companies, which accounts for nearly 30% of all the TWSE-listed companies. This will further improve the quality of information disclosure of Taiwan’s capital market. Statistical information regarding CSR reports has also been published at the Corporate Governance Center. It is available for reference athttp://cgc.twse.com.tw/corpSocialResponsibility/chPage.
