♦ Corporate Governance Evaluation

The Financial Supervisory Commission issued a five-year "Corporate Governance Roadmap 2013" in December 2013, which listed the handling of corporate governance evaluation as a key work item. The reason for its promotion is to help investors and enterprises understand the effectiveness of corporate governance through the comparison of corporate governance in the overall market. In the "2019 Annual Corporate Governance Evaluation of Listed and OTC Companies," there were 901 listed companies and 699 OTC companies, with a total of 1600 companies being evaluated. The publication of the evaluation results will help enterprises to compete healthily and strengthen the level of corporate governance, and spontaneously shape corporate governance into an enterprise organizational culture.

The evaluation indicators are divided into four categories: safeguarding the rights and interests of shareholders and treating shareholders equally, strengthening the structure and operation of the board of directors, improving information transparency, and implementing corporate social responsibility:

Indicator category Number of indicators Allocation percentage
Safeguard the rights and interests of shareholders and treat them equally 16 19%
Strengthen the structure and operation of the board of directors 28 34%
Enhance information transparency 21 26%
Implement corporate social responsibility 17 21%
