Message from the Management Bou-Shiu Lin EVA Air has published the Corporate Social Responsibility Report for five consecutive years since 2014. The reports disclosed the concrete measures we have taken to deal with matters in the areas of corporate governance, environment, and society. Chairman, EVA Air Apart from the insistence on our core values: “safety” and “service,” we proactively respond to major issues the stakeholders care about, such as environment and climate change, employee assistance, and social participation, in order to fulfill our goals of sustainable management. EVA Air Chairman Bou-Shiu Lin Once again, 2017 was a fruitful year for EVA Air. In terms of corporate governance, EVA Air withstood the impacts brought by changes in the global political economy and natural disasters, and went through the adjustment period for the successively established unions within the Company; yet, our colleagues worked hard and delivered outstanding results. The annual revenue in 2017 was 12.53 billion NTD, and the number of passengers flying with us reached 12.13 million, which both set historic records and made 2017 the third consecutive profitable year. With the joint efforts made by our colleagues, EVA Air once again won awards from around the world. The awards include “Top 5% Best Listed Companies in the “Corporate Governance Evaluation” held by Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation for three consecutive years, “World’s Top 20 Safest Airlines” ranked by JACDEC (airline safety ranking) and AirlineRatings, “World’s 5-Star Airlines” and “World’s Top 10 Airlines” by Skytrax, “The Best Airplane Liveries” by CNN, and “World’s Best International Airlines” by Travel + Leisure, a well-known US-based travel magazine. We continue to insist on rigorous flight safety management and service quality to provide passengers with flight experiences that are “safe, assured, trustworthy, and comfortable.” We launched four brand new Hello Kitty Jets, diverse in-flight new services in collaboration with other industries, and the third-generation uniforms, which were all widely acclaimed. Following the introduction of Taiwan’s first 777 high effieient freighter at the end of last year, the new generation of eco-friendly Boeing 787 Dreamliner will join to our fleet this year. All service and systems items will be continuously upgraded. 3 Message from the Management In terms of environmental sustainability, EVA Air has taken the initiative to carry out the self-inspection of greenhouse gas since Chia-Ming Sun 2011. Through the inspection results, we examine the relevant measures of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the results. From 2016, we have conducted the self-inspection of greenhouse gas according to ISO 14064-1 international standards for green- President, EVA Air house gas with the validation of third-party validation organizations. From 2017, we have carried out the “EVA Air Green Travel Carbon Offset Project,” which allows passengers voluntarily paying the equivalent value or customized amount to take part in "zero-carbon travel" and support the international carbon reduction project funded by Climate Care. This fully demonstrates our concern on renewable energy and global warming. With respect to social participation, we use our own resources to continuously promote the ideal of flight safety education, and take part in social charitable events by donation, sponsorship, or emergency aid. In 2017, the amount of our charitable donation was over 140 million NTD, accounting for 2.43% of our net profit. In addition to actively sponsoring overseas artistic and cultural perfor- mance groups and world-class exhibitions for their visits to Taiwan as well as Taiwanese athletes competing abroad, we also supported the Taipei 2017 Universiade. In collaboration with relevant organizations to promote Taiwan’s tourism abroad, we aim to let the world see Taiwan. Looking forward to 2018, we will continue to uphold our corporate philosophy of “challenge, innovation, teamwork” in combination with social trends to keep abreast of the times. We hope to achieve greater results and fulfill our corporate social responsibility. Bou-Shiu Lin Chia-Ming Sun Chairman, EVA Air President, EVA Air 4 About This Report Since its establishment in 1989, EVA Air has been placing importance on fulfilling its corporate social responsibility (CSR) through active practices in corporate governance, environmental protection and social engagement, based on the objective of sustainable management. We insist on strict flight safety standards and quality service; as a result, we have received recognition by many important domestic and internation- al awards. EVA Air values the relevance of the domestic and overseas developmental trends of corporate social responsibility to our core businesses, as well as the influence of our entire business operations on our stakeholders.

  • The Christchurch Earthquake Appeal
    Westminster Abbey CHRISTCHURCH EARTHQUAKE MEMORIAL SERVICE Sunday 27 March 2011 Noon 2 Diocese of Christchurch, New Zealand A MESSAGE FROM THE BISHOP OF CHRISTCHURCH On 22 February at 12.51 pm, many people in Christchurch were busy at work or having lunch. Schools had closed early that day so a large number of children were on their way home. Very quickly, the enormity of the earthquake became apparent; as buildings collapsed people rushed to save themselves and others with examples of spontaneous, selfless courage—often to total strangers. Now, almost a month later and in the aftermath of the Christchurch Memorial Service, people are still grieving. News of Japan’s disaster sent a chill through Christchurch again. There is thankfulness to be alive and a desire to help others. There is also overwhelming gratitude for the outpouring of love, support, and assistance from other nations. Thank you to the people of London and beyond who have such heart for Kiwis, particularly the strong expatriate community. Thank you for your care and compassion, and please continue to pray for New Zealand and the people of Christchurch. To all those who have lost loved ones our prayers of consolation, compassion, and intercession are offered. ‘Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord. And let light perpetual shine upon them.’ May they rest in peace and rise in glory. May those who remain honour the memory of the departed. They will not be forgotten and the future Christchurch will be shaped by their memory. In the compassionate love of Christ, + Victoria Bishop of Christchurch Christchurch, New Zealand 3 Members of the congregation are kindly requested to refrain from using private cameras, video, or sound recording equipment.

  • Sarah Class Biography
    SARAH CLASS BIOGRAPHY “ Sarah Class is one of Britain’s brightest musical stars. Her style is both hauntingly ethereal and sensual, mingling folky influences and a powerfully romantic blend of orchestral and electronic sonorities…..” HMV Classical Reviews Magazine Emmy and Brit nominated Sarah Class has become one of Britains most sought after composers and is described as having ‘the midas touch’ when it comes to creating music. An award winning, accomplished musician, scoring for films, television and the concert arena, producer, songwriter, and singer, Sarah brings a special array of talents to every commission. A classically trained pianist from an early age, Sarah developed a huge love of jazz and improvisation. At 18 she started in the recording studio at Chichester University creating her own compositions and studying jazz piano. She gained a high (B,A Hons.) degree in Music with Related Arts. After graduating she went straight into the music business travelling extensively through Europe and the USA writing and performing with other artists developing her own unique style. Her ability as a composer was soon recognised, and as the attached credits show she quickly started to make her mark in the world of television and subsequently the film in- dustry.Sarah’s first major break was when she was asked to compose the score for an in- dependent feature film titled ‘The Weekend’ starring Gina Rowlands and Brooke Shields. This production brought Sarah to the attention of legendary producer Sir George Martin who subsequently took her under the wing of George Martin Music to help and guide her career.

It is this strategy, that together with the Shareholder’s Compact constitutes the framework against which performance is being measured. To this point progress is being registered, structures have been put in place, and concerted action is being taken to ensure that in the short, medium, and long term the airline will continue to implement the imperatives of its strategy and it will continue to strive for success in its goal of gaining altitude.
