Sustainability Governance

Based on "safety" and "governance" and combined with six major strategies, short, medium and long-term goals are formulated to implement sustainable development of the corporate.

Sustainability Governance

China Airlines is committed to its mission of “creating more wonderful moments through flying” and its vision of “Leading Asia-Pacific, Flying Worldwide.” Centered on “Safety” and “Governance,” CAL integrates its core strategies—“Fleet and Network,” “Products and Services,” and “Group Business”—to strengthen brand awareness. To enhance its sustainability image, CAL launched three action plans:

“Smart Resilience” (adapting to extreme weather and public health concern), “Localized Global Operations” (sharing Taiwan’s culture globally), “Youth Innovation” (engaging younger generations).

These six strategic directions align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), forming a comprehensive sustainability framework. In 2024, CAL reviewed and updated its medium- to long-term sustainability goals. The strategy is led by the Corporate Sustainability Committee under the General Manager, and overseen by the Board-level Sustainability & Risk Management Committee and the Board of Directors.

Value Creation Model

In order to embrace mutual prosperity along with our stakeholders and endeavor to create sustainable value for all stakeholders, CAL based on China Airlines’ economic, environmental, and social reporting boundaries has integrated six forms of capital (financial, natural, manufactured, intellectual, human, and social) to its corporate vision and strategy, introducing the concepts of true value to monetize the environmental and of social externality’s costs and benefits.This true value is viewed as an important reference point for corporate sustainability, and it helps all stakeholders understand the Company’s sustainability performance.

True Value of China Airlines

The assessment results indicate that in 2025, CAL's traditional financial performance (EBITA) increased slightly from 2024, reaching TWD 42.99 billion. The true value generated by CAL across economic, environmental, and social dimensions amounted to approximately TWD 59.33 billion in 2025, representing an increase of approximately TWD 16.35 billion over traditional financial performance (EBITA) and TWD 4.55 billion more than the true value generated in 2024. Notably, the positive environmental impacts of “renewable energy usage” and “waste recycling and reuse” increased significantly in 2025 compared to 2024, rising by 99.54% and 14.33%, respectively.

In addition, due to the operational characteristics of the aviation industry, “greenhouse gas emissions” and “noise pollution” continued to be the primary sources of negative impacts. These negative impacts decreased by 1.47% and 22.85%, respectively, compared to 2024. The results demonstrate CAL’s active investment in environmental sustainability initiatives such as "fleet modernization," renewable energy use, and waste recycling and reuse. In response to the negative impact of greenhouse gas emissions, CAL has continued to allocate resources toward fleet renewal and has further strengthened fuel-efficiency enhancement measures through its dedicated Aircraft Fuel Efficiency Management Team to reduce greenhouse gas emission impacts.

Corporate Sustainability Committee

In 2014, CAL established the "Corporate Sustainability Committee" to oversee and manage the Company’s operational impacts on the economy, environment, and People (including human rights), as well as the corresponding response measures. In 2024, the Corporate Development Office established the Sustainability Development Center, which serves as the executive secre- tariat of the Corporate Sustainability Committee, and a Chief Sustainability Officer was appointed to support and advance sustainability-related initiatives. To address the trends in corporate sustainability development and governance needs, a board-level functional committee, the "Sus- tainability & Risk Management Committee," was established in 2025 to strengthen the board's oversight and guidance on ESG-related issues. In 2025, the Corporate Sustainability Committee convened three times. The meetings were chaired by CAL ’s President, with the Chairman attend- ing as an advisor. The committee led six core value working groups and the risk management team to formulate sustainability strategies and development goals in accordance with CAL ’s Sustainability Practice Guidelines, thereby advancing corporate sustainability. The outcomes of corporate sustainability governance and external reporting information (Note 1) were submit- ted biannually by the Chief Sustainability Officer to the Sustainability and Risk Committee and the Board of Directors. Additionally, starting in 2025, the Chief Sustainability Officer provided quarterly reports on the implementation progress of the International Financial Reporting Stan- dards—Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS S1/S2) to the Sustainability & Risk Management Committee and the Board.

As the highest governance body of the Company, the Board of Directors supervises and iden- tifies CAL 's impact on the economy, environment, and people (including human rights). It also established internal control and audit for due diligence of ESG information. The Board of Di- rectors delegates senior management to engage in consultations with identified impacts and stakeholders through diverse communication channels and platforms.

In 2025, the Board held 10 meetings to oversee CAL ’s due diligence and response measures regarding key significant events (Note 2), financial status, internal audit operations, safety man- agement, operational risk management, information security and personal data risk, greenhouse gas inventory and verification, climate governance reporting, human rights risks, information and communication security, and Board performance outcomes, including the results of stake- holder engagement. CAL also established the performance evaluation procedures for the Board of Directors’ supervision of the Company’s impact on the economy, environment, and people (including human rights). It convenes at least two meetings of the Remuneration Committee each year to regularly review the overall compensation and benefits policies of senior executives.
