The Group's Management Department is a dedicated (or part-time) unit dedicated to promoting sustainable development and is committed to the implementation of corporate sustainability.
To promote sustainable operations, the Group has incorporated sustainability into its corporate governance structure, established policies and guidelines related to sustainability, and overseen management to ensure their effective implementation. Furthermore, the Group should enhance the Board's role, identify sustainability trends and best practices, and enable the Board to more effectively promote sustainable development strategies.
We actively comply with relevant laws and regulations, ensuring that our activities adhere to environmental and social standards and avoid negative impacts. We also prioritize employee relations, provide a safe and healthy working environment, and formulate appropriate policies and measures to protect employee rights.
Regarding the environment, we actively manage waste and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, seeking to minimize negative environmental impacts. Furthermore, we should manage our supply chain, encouraging suppliers and partners to adhere to sustainable development principles and jointly achieve sustainable development goals.
We value the opinions and expectations of stakeholders, actively collaborate with them, and build long-term, strong relationships. Furthermore, we implement product lifecycle management, focusing on the impacts of product use and disposal, to promote product sustainability. Promoting sustainable operations requires companies to comprehensively consider environmental, social, and economic factors to achieve sustainable development and realize long-term value and sustainable development goals.
Based on the established "Sustainable Development Code of Practice," the Company implements corporate governance. Management prioritizes the management of various risks, encompassing management objectives, organizational structure, ownership of responsibilities, and risk management procedures. This approach effectively identifies, measures, and controls the Company's various risks, keeping risks arising from business activities within acceptable limits.
Corporate Social Responsibility Operations
Employees are encouraged to participate in social welfare and caring activities, as well as to support academic and cultural development. We believe that through the planning and implementation of educational training and promotional activities, we can leverage existing methods and apply emerging technologies to maximize human resources. We integrate related fields to jointly promote management skills, creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, and artistic literacy, and foster the development of cultural and creative industries and civic literacy, thereby enhancing the management capabilities, productivity, and creativity of individuals, groups, businesses, and non-profit organizations. This year, we donated NT$200,000 to support academic research at National Chengchi University in Taipei. We also invested in Guide Star Co., Ltd., Taiwan Science Star Co., Ltd., and Xinpu Star Co., Ltd., with the goal of donating a percentage of profits from these investments to schools. This gives back to society through education itself, and through a sound sustainability mechanism, we provide a steady return to society and fulfill our corporate social responsibility.
In addition, in line with the government's encouragement for businesses to support cultural, artistic, and creative industries, our company also donates NT$50,000 per month to the Taipei City Rising Rhythmic Gymnastics Association. This donation has been ongoing for two years, promoting the sustainable development of cultural activities.
Our company regularly organizes community welfare and care activities to encourage employee volunteerism, spreading the importance of environmental sustainability education to every employee and their families, and expanding the impact and effectiveness of our corporate social responsibility.
