In an effort to promote and realize ESG, we established the “Firefly Volunteer Club” in 2011 but changed its name to “Firefly Volunteer Team” in 2015. In 2018, we instituted the “Management Regulations for Firefly Volunteer Team” to include paid volunteer leave during holidays, a volunteer reward system, annual volunteer assembly, annual volunteer day, and volunteer training courses. A total of 143 volunteers at Coretronic are categorized into different volunteer groups, namely “Charitable Volunteers,” “Environmental Protection Volunteers,” and “Product Volunteers,” which are in charge of charity, environmental protection, and product introduction and installation, respectively.

- 2020: Cooperating with social enterprise "Give-Circle," we invited 112 employees to donate 50 boxes of the stuff they don't use anymore, such as 3C products, home appliance, stationery, books, clothes and toys to small and medium charities and underprivileged groups.

- 2022: Following our collaboration with social enterprise “GIVE CIRCLE” for the third consecutive year, we invited our employees to donate their old items at home to small and medium-sized social welfare organizations and vulnerable families, as well as engaged a couple of suppliers, namely Chia Teng Industrial Corp. and Sandbox Smart Technology Co., Ltd. to provide 52 used cardboard boxes in celebration of this meaningful event. This time, we added cosmetics to the collection list in conjunction with the “Meet Your Beautiful Self” charity makeup program hosted by the Work Development and Holistic Education Association to assist women, elders, and disabled friends who may not even own a complete set of cosmetics and skin care products in making themselves beautiful and confident through makeup. As this addition gained widespread support from our female employees, they proactively promoted this event and even raised funds to increase the popularity of this event.
Run for Love
Run for Love ( 2018-2019, 2022-2023)
To thoroughly fulfill the responsibility of being a sports enterprise and continue to introduce the sports atmosphere into the corporate culture and balance work and life, the "4th Run for Love" was held, attracting nearly 450 employees and their families to run together. The event included a 3km race and a 10km race, led by Frack Ho, the CFO of Coretronic, Tony Hsu, the Assistant Management of Coretronic, Carol Wu, the COO of Optoma, John Ruhala, the consultant of Optoma and William Hsu, the CEO of the subsidiary InnoSpectra, and other senior executives. The Chairman, Wade Chang also made a surprise appearance at the event and presented awards personally. At the end, he took a group photo with hundreds of Run for Love participants and their friends and families, drawing a perfect conclusion to the event.
To enhance the professionalism and challenge of the race, and to improve based on valuable suggestions from participants in previous editions, with the aim of increasing registration numbers and satisfaction, this year's race was specially held at the "Advanced Runner's Training Ground" - Second Baoshan Reservoir. Hoping that while challenging and training their own limits, runners can also appreciate the beautiful scenery around the lake and temporarily forget about various worries and fatigue. At the same time, professional chip timers were added, allowing all runners to immediately query and print their results after the race. The race system for the 10km group was also specially adjusted, not only increasing the prize money but also separating the timing and ranking of the employee men's group, employee women's group, and friends and family group. The total number of registrations also reached a record high for the four years, with a satisfaction rate as high as 98 points.
In addition to inviting 4 charity organizations - the Huashan Social Welfare Foundation, the World Peace Council, the Yuan Nurturing Institution, and the Hsinchu City Association for the Welfare of the Disabled - to set up booths for charity sales, hiring the Vision Inaction Massage Studio to provide massage services, and inviting the Martial Arts Team from Fuxing Junior High School in Miaoli County to perform, all registration fees were also donated to the Huashan Social Welfare Foundation after the race to sponsor the 21st "Reunion with Love" Chinese New Year meal program, fully realizing the charitable concept of "Run for Love".
