2015 Annual Report
Fubon’s Three Principles:
Integrity, Diligence, Modesty
Fubon traces its roots to 1961 when Fubon Insurance, formerly known
as Cathay Insurance, began operations as Taiwan’s first private P&C
insurance company. Since then, Fubon has grown into one of Taiwan’s
largest conglomerates with presence in most major sectors of the
domestic economy.
In 1985, Mr. Wan-Tsai Tsai, the late founder of the Fubon Group,
articulated three principles—integrity, diligence and modesty—to be
followed at both the personal and corporate level. He defined integrity
as the foundation for conducting oneself, diligence as the foundation for
building entrepreneurship, and modesty as the foundation for cultivating
one’s nature and dealing with people. Setting the example himself, Mr.
Tsai had encouraged every employee to put these principles into action.
Through integrity, diligence and modesty, the Group has laid the
building blocks of success. For Mr. Tsai, integrity is exhibited by being
trustworthy and using judgment and common sense in business
decision-making. A financial company must strive to act with integrity
as clients trust it to be a good steward of their assets. Without trust, a
business cannot succeed. A highly-valued traditional virtue, diligence
has been embedded in Fubon’s corporate culture and embraced by all
employees, whose dedication and hard work enables Fubon to build
leading positions in various markets. Modesty, in summary, is the quality
of being humble, unpretentious, and showing leniency to others but not
to oneself.
For more than half a century, Fubon has solidified its presence in Taiwan
while actively gaining a foothold in other Asian markets. Fubon Financial
Holdings is Taiwan’s second-largest financial holding company known
for its market-leading, comprehensive range of financial services. Its
subsidiaries rank among the top performers in their respective sectors.
In 2015, Fubon Financial Holdings again topped the industry with the
best profit performance and remained the most profitable financial
holding company for seven years in a row.
Looking ahead, Fubon will continue to uphold its three principles
and apply its four core values of integrity, sincerity, professionalism
and innovation to guide management decisions. These standards of
professional and ethical conduct create an obligation to develop the
business for the long term, act responsibly as a corporate citizen, and
bring positive energy to where it is needed. They also lay a strong
foundation for continuing success as Fubon Financial Holdings
advances its goal to become a first-class financial institution in Asia.
