Motorcycle road safety programMotorcycle road safety program
Taiwan has the highest rate of motorcycle ownership in the world, with more than 14 million motorcycles on the road every day, which means that less than two people on the road own a motorcycle. According to the statistics of the Traffic Safety Committee of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, the fatality rate of traffic accidents in Taiwan is 4 to 6 times higher than that of the OECD countries, with "motorcycle users" being the highest, accounting for 60% of the total number of deaths. We have countless accidents related to scooters in Taiwan every year. To reduce the deaths of automobiles and scooters, advocating road users' awareness of defensive driving is the key. HFC has long been committed to the motorcycle finance business, providing clients with affordable installment solutions so that people can easily purchase vehicles and have a convenient mobility experience. To this end, HFC has made it its mission to disseminate information on road user safety issues. We understand that it is not easy and requires consistency to build up a solid motorcycle training awareness. In order to let more people know the importance of taking a driver training class before taking the license test, HFC has taken the lead in promoting motorcycle driver training in cooperation with the Taipei City Motor Vehicles Office in 2022. In addition to providing a full subsidy of $500,000 for low- and middle-income residents to attend motorcycle driver training courses, a promotional video was also produced. Through a creative and lively short film with the slogan " Motorcycle riding should be trained and not count on luck ," the program has attracted the attention of young people. Furthermore, the video was donated to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications for the promotion of motorcycle safety, and was viewed by 250,000 visitors.Taiwan has the highest rate of motorcycle ownership in the world, with more than 14 million motorcycles on the road every day, which means that less than two people on the road own a motorcycle.

Teacher Chang Foundation―charity support planTeacher Chang Foundation―charity support plan
The "Teacher Chang" Foundation has been in existence for 54 years and has accompany more than 3.5 million people through the difficulties and lows in life. The Foundation created the first web-based counseling service to provide more immediate and convenient online counseling services through text messages. However, due to limited space and resources, the volunteers could only squeeze at one meeting table to provide counseling services, which could cause interference with each other and affect the quality of services. Recognizing Teacher Chang's needs, HFC joined hands with its subsidiary, Hotai Leasing, and supplier, Zuhan Design, to renovate the Internet counseling room. They planned a professional and comfortable office environment, and used environmentally friendly building materials throughout the room to support social welfare and implement environmental sustainability.
