Social Investment Assessment
Since 2015, CAL has adopted the London Benchmarking Group (LBG) model to analyze the
effectiveness of social investment and quantify the influences of various resources invested in
society and the business itself. CAL adopted the Social Return on Investment (SROI) model in
2019 to analyze the benefits of individual charity programs. In 2025, CAL continued to use the
China Airlines Charity Sport Camp as the calculation target. According to the SROI evaluation
method, the calculated result of this activity was 8.05, meaning that for every NT$1 invested,
it generated NT$8.05 in social benefits.

Social Investment Assessment
Since 2015, CAL has adopted the London Benchmarking Group (LBG) model to analyze the effectiveness of social investment and quantify the influences of various resources invested in society and the business itself. CAL adopted the Social Return on Investment (SROI) model in 2019 to analyze the benefits of individual charity programs. In 2025, CAL continued to use the China Airlines Charity Sport Camp as the calculation target. According to the SROI evaluation method, the calculated result of this activity was 8.05, meaning that for every NT$1 invested, it generated NT$8.05 in social benefits.
