From Reliability to Sharp Transformation: CTCI Group Chairman Yu Reveals Two Core Principles for Corporate Sustainability Transition

TAIPEI, December 9, 2025- Today CTCI Group Chairman John Yu attended the Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Forum held by the Taiwan Listed Companies Association and Global Views Monthly at the GIS MOTC Convention Center in Taiwan. During the event, Group Chairman delivered a trend keynote and participated in a crucial dialogue, offering an in-depth analysis of strategies for corporations to navigate change. His speech, titled "From Reliability to Sharp Transformation: The Innovative Growth of CTCI Group," shared how CTCI masters trends, works in unison to respond to changes, opens new frontiers, and realizes the corporate vision of becoming "the most reliable global engineering services provider."

Among the dignitaries present at the event included Premier Jung-tai Cho, leaders of listed companies, and representatives from various industries. During his presentation, Chairman Yu highlighted that in response to the challenges of global energy transition and net-zero emissions, CTCI positions itself as a "Guardian of Sustainable Earth" and actively leverages its core engineering expertise for sustainable development. Through three main dimensions—Green Technology, Green Contracting, and Green Investment—CTCI creates "Green Engineering" that achieves a win-win for both the environment and the economy. This strategy has helped CTCI successfully capture sustainability business opportunities and assisted industries in their green transformation.

Recent landmark cases for CTCI include the petrochemical transition projects such as the SASREF Project in Saudi Arabia and RLPP—the world’s largest ethylene plant by capacity—in Qatar; water resources projects such as Southern Taiwan Science Park Water Reclamation Plant and Hsinchu Seawater Desalination Plant; gas-fired power plant projects such as Tung Hsiao, Ta Lin, and Kuo Kuang; and carbon capture projects such as science park and CPC Tiezhenshan CCUS projects. These robust achievements fully demonstrate CTCI's profound strength in green plant construction.

Faced with the big wave of AI and smart technology, CTCI has seized immense business opportunities in the high-tech sector through innovative technologies such as intelligent EPC, digital twin, and the smart CTCI AI platform. Over the years, the group has completed multiple large-scale projects in Taiwan, the US, China, Southeast Asia, and India, including a fab project in Arizona for a Taiwanese client; electronic assembly plants for a Taiwanese firm in India; data centers in Taiwan for renowned foreign companies; and a lithium battery plant in Taiwan for a local firm. CTCI is the only domestic EPC group capable of providing full-spectrum services from front-end engineering, design, and construction to subsequent operation and maintenance management.

Regarding how entrepreneurs can lead sustainable transformation, Group Chairman Yu shared two core principles: First, "keep pace with the times and be brave in sharp transformation," and second, "employees of all ranks should work together with consistent goals." He further elaborated on how CTCI has continuously innovated and transformed over four decades through the concerted efforts of all employees. Thanks to such transformation, CTCI was able to tap into overseas markets, expand from a single business focus to diversified development, and extend its business model from purely engineering contracting to investment and operations. Today, CTCI stands as the leading EPC group in Taiwan and among the world’s top 100, becoming a designated partner by globally renowned clients.

Having caught business opportunities presented by ESG and AI, CTCI’s operating performance has been outstanding. As of October 2025, the Group's cumulative contract amount reached NT$174.7 billion, while project backlog amounted to NT$461 billion, both breaking historical records. This is expected to drive future revenue and profitability growth. From reliability to sharp transformation, CTCI's journey may serve as a successful evidence and solution for Taiwanese companies that seek sustainable transition.
