Actions for Environmental Sustainability

Scientists warn that the world is facing a climate emergency. In recent years, “The WEF's Global Risks Report” has specifically pointed out that the risks of "natural disasters and extreme climate" and "failure of climate change mitigation and adaptation" are major risks that humans will face the challenges in the next 2 to 10 years. We can clearly feel that extreme weather has gradually become normal in recent years. Drought or short-term heavy rainfall has gradually increased the risks faced by corporate operations. In order to slow down the speed of climate change, the Company has implemented energy conservation in operating activities. In addition to reducing carbon emissions, we also take the following environmentally sustainable actions:

 

Beach Cleanup Activity in Response to International Oceans Day The Hsinchu City Environmental Protection Bureau held the "2023 Salute to the Sea - Autumn Beach Clean Activity" at Xing Fu Beach on the 17-kms Coastline Scenic Area Bike Riding on October 14. The Company called on colleagues and their families to participate and jointly clean up the garbage on the beach to maintain the marine ecology, hoping to protect organisms in the ocean from the harm of pollution. During the event, the Hsinchu City Environmental Protection Bureau also set up environmental protection promotion booths on site to allow participants to better understand the importance of protecting the marine environment, energy conservation and carbon reduction, and environmental protection while participating in the beach cleaning activities. A total of 39 volunteers responded enthusiastically to this event and worked together to contribute to our environment.

Organization of “Hands Holding Green Plant for Planting Hope Project” on the Arbor Day. As scientific research points out, “planting trees” is the simplest and most direct way to resist climate warming. Plants can absorb carbon dioxide mitigate floods, purify water sources, consolidate soil and even regulate the climate from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. It is an important part of the earth's ecology and an indispensable and important part of the circle. In 2023, the Company provided five kinds of Taiwanese native saplings, including "Pistacia chinensis", "Taiwan Xiaonan", "Thick-leaved grouper", "Podocarpus", and "Qilixiang", for colleagues to adopt, and successfully called on 500 enthusiastic participants to reduce carbon emissions and build a sustainable green future through plant trees.

"2023 Industrial Safety and Environmental Protection Month-Creative Comic Contest"

To help students become more aware of the issues on environmental sustainability and OSH, the Company supported the Industrial Safety & Environment Protection Promotion Month of the Hsinchu Science Park by co-organizing the “Creative Caricature Competition” in August 2023. It was expected to cultivate the interest of children in painting in the process of creation, strengthen their awareness of “low-carbon and energy saving”, “environmental protection”, “protection of ecosystems”, “occupational safety”, and “healthy workplace” and encourage them to use these concepts in their daily life. We also hope to stimulate children's interest in painting during the painting process. 61 students participated in the event. The Company dispatched 12 volunteers to provide services for 36 man-hours.
