Earth HourEarth Hour
We spare no effort in reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. In our daily operations, we go all out to conserve energy and raise employees’ awareness of environmental protection, while regularly checking if ''the computers, lights, and air-conditioners are turned off'' in the workplace. In 2022, we continued to respond to Earth Hour jointly launched by the Society of Wilderness and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). In addition, we worked with subsidiaries and invite partners to participate in this event to expand our influence and enable more people to understand the importance of environmental change. Also, we donated the electricity costs saved during Earth Hour in 2022 to the Taiwan Foundation for the Blind Shelter Workshop for it to purchase aprons and handmade soap packaging devices to help the visually impaired friends to make dried fruit gift boxes and handmade soap products with adequate equipment, ensuring stable income. Continue to facilitate the cycle of goodness to leverage greater influence. We spare no effort in reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.

Adoption of Zhanghe WetlandAdoption of Zhanghe Wetland
Zhanghe Wetland is the first urban constructed wetland in New Taipei City with the functions of sewage treatment, ecological conservation, habitat restoration, and flood regulation. The total wetland area is 6.7 hectares, and the water area is about 0.9 hectares with 116 species of butterflies and 48 species of dragonflies and damselflies, and 369 species of plants, with an annual carbon sequestration capacity of 41 metric tons, equivalent to the amount of carbon emissions from a family's 20-year electricity consumption. We spare no effort to promote environmental sustainability and became the first enterprise to adopt Zhanghe Wetland in 2022. We worked with the public sector to maintain the wetland environment. In addition to donating waterproof waders, we will have nearly 200 employees taking part in the eviromental volunteer activity to remove invasive introduced species in the water and land areas and regularly maintain this wetland inhabited by more than 600 species of animals and plants, to reduce environmental impact and maintain a space where species and the environment coexist harmoniously.

Green energy social charity eventGreen energy social charity event
In the spirit of caring for Taiwan's land, we have integrated ESG into our business strategy and core business. We adopt our core expertise and planned the Green Energy Social Charity Action project in 2023. The Catholic Huakuang Social Welfare Foundation in Hsinchu, which was in urgent need of solar street lights. The 13 street lights in the foundation were not repaired for a long time, affecting the road safety of people with disabilities and the foundation’s employees at night. We immediately launched a project to replace the old lights with solar ones, to help them with green energy and light up every corner of society with green electricity, while continuing to move toward inclusive society and environmental sustainability.In the spirit of caring for Taiwan's land, we have integrated ESG into our business strategy and core business.

Support for Hotai Group’s One Tree for One CarSupport for Hotai Group’s One Tree for One Car
We continue to support the Group's One Tree for One Toyota Car campaign, to protect Taiwan's shrinking coastlines through the Group's collective efforts. In September 2022, we planted 500 saplings in the Huanbao Repopulation Park in Keelung. In addition to absorbing carbon dioxide, it enhances soil and water conservation to prevent the continuous shrinkage of the coastlines in Keelung, to protect Taiwan's coastal forests and reduce carbon emissions. We take practical actions to plant trees and reduce carbon emissions with love for the earth. We aim to direct the attention of the problem of coastline shrinkage, so that the beautiful green coastlines can be reproduced and our beautiful homeland protected.We continue to support the Group's One Tree for One Toyota Car campaign, to protect Taiwan's shrinking coastlines through the Group's collective efforts.
