We understand that the failure of climate change mitigation and adaptation has become the most impacting sustainability issue that concerns the world. Apart from the attempt to demonstrate the influence of sustainability with actions and activities promoting environmental preservation, we hope to enforce the “environmental sustainability 4G (go prosperous, go innovative, go caring, and go inclusive)” and initiate the “Green Lifestyle Program” with stakeholders in order to contribute to the sustainable development of the Earth through the concerted efforts of green partners.
Through academe-industry collaboration with the Institute of Environmental Engineering, National Chiao Tung University, we asked employees to make the base for potted plants with the empty PET bottles and grow vanilla on the roof using the capillary action of high-tech non-woven fabrics to supply water for the plants. Apart from greening the city, the green roof can reduce the urban heat island (UHI) effect, save energy, and gather storm water to achieve the low-carbon lifestyle. In addition to giving a way for employees to relieve work stress, we have successfully built an eco-friendly work environment with employees through this project.
To support “1 Million Acts of Green”, the Environmental Protection Committee initiates ”Green Points” activity, and gives away “Green Points Card” to employees We hope employees will join various green activities to support Coretronic’s sustainable strategies and ideas. Since 2017, 2,387 employees have participated in this activity, and done 10,589 green acts so as to achieve the goal we set (Complete 2,020 green acts by 2020).
Starting in 2015, we released monthly environmental protection knowledge on the E-Bulletin and the official Facebook Fanpage to enhance the environmental awareness of all stakeholders.
To promote environmental education, we continued to conduct environmental education courses and introduce environmental education videos since 2017. In 2020, we created the APP for employees and their families to watch green videos anytime, anywhere. A total of 5,343 employees have taken on-line environmental education courses.
Since 2016, a total of 661 employees and their families have been on the green tours to ecological and environmental education facilities to learn more environmental information and experience the sustainable activities and workshops with their families.
