Low-carbon Healthy Walk Activity

The Kunshan plant organized a "Green Walk – Healthy Hiking" lowcarbon walking activity at the City Ecological Forest Park. The event promoted the concept of prioritizing the use of low-carbon transportation modes (such as buses and shared bicycles) and bringing personal water bottles to colleagues and their families, in order to protect the natural ecology. At the same time, through the hiking activity, participants exercised both physically and mentally, experiencing the beauty of a sustainable city and low-carbon travel. A total of 50 participants.

Adopt Public Toilets

Chunan and Tainan Plant 1 have responded to the government's public toilet adoption program for 4 consecutive years, adopting 5 public toilets in the local township office where the plants are located. In addition to providing local residents with a better toilet environment, water-soluble toilet paper is also provided to reduce waste generation. Nearly NT$180,000 was invested, benefiting 430,000 residents and reducing carbon emissions from waste by 3.7 tons.
 

Sponsoring Straw Decomposer

Since 2021, for 3 consecutive years, Coretronic has joined the "Eco-Friendly, Improving Air Pollution" alliance, providing straw decomposer to farmers in Hsinchu County. This allows them to use straw decomposer instead of burning straw, effectively improving air pollution problems. In 2023, we sponsored NT$470,000 to purchase 2,000 bottles of decomposer, which can be used for 200 hectares of rice fields, accounting for approximately 5% of the rice field area in Hsinchu County, reducing carbon emissions by 1,800 tons.
 

Clean Water and Mountain Activities

• Beach cleanup: Since 2017, the Chunan plant has adopted and maintained the Long Fong Fishing Port for seven consecutive years. In 2022, it signed an adoption contract for the Long Fong Fishing Harbor coast until 2025. In 2023, the "Long Fong Fishing Port Cleanup Event" was held, combining three major features: "Ecology x Treasure Hunt x Public Welfare" For the first time, suppliers were invited to join the effort to protect the ocean, and a total of 352 kg of marine waste was cleaned up. Over 7 years of beach cleanups, a total of 2.4 tons of marine waste has been collected, and nearly NT$57,000 has been donated to the "Society of Wilderness."
• Mountain/river cleanup: In 2023, the Wujiang plant held two mountain and river cleanup events to protect the mountains and water and maintain the ecological environment. 24 participants cleaned up 61 kg of garbage. The goal was to raise environmental awareness among employees through these environmental protection activities. Additionally, to revive the river's aquatic ecology, 600 native grass carp fry were released into Taihu Lake, bringing new life to the lake.
