The Evergreen Group

The Evergreen Group was established by Dr. Y.F. Chang in 1968, originally focusing on shipping operations with a single cargo vessel. Over the decades, it evolved into a diversified conglomerate, becoming the world's largest container ship operator by 1985. The company operates in various sectors, including land and air transportation, with EVA Air, Taiwan's first privately owned international airline, launching in 1991. Additionally, the Evergreen Group owns and operates Evergreen International Hotels, which features five-star accommodations in Taiwan and select international locations. The company's reputation is built on safety, reliability, and high-quality service across its diverse operations. Beyond its business ventures, the Evergreen Group is committed to social responsibility, exemplified by the Chang Yung-fa Foundation, which supports emergency aid, education, and cultural initiatives. The Foundation also promotes moral standards through various programs, including the Evergreen Symphony Orchestra and the Evergreen Maritime Museum, which preserves Taiwan's maritime heritage.
