The company notes that investigative authorities raided staff offices at its local business operation centers on 2025/12/03. Chunghwa Telecom explicitly states there is no effect on its finances or business and that it cooperated fully, so the immediate operational impact described is limited, though any further developments would depend on future official actions not detailed here.
The renewable energy agreement with GREENET CO., LTD. runs for 20 years and covers at least 4.6 billion kWh of diversified green electricity.
