Volunteer Service: Promoting Social Care and Services during the Epidemic Situation

Upholding “spending on society with what is taken from society,” we actively engage in charitable activities and address major social issues. In addition to publicly commending, providing volunteer leave, rewards, and professional service training courses, CLC also assists employees to establish related volunteer clubs within the company. For instance, Hsinchu Mill joined hands with the residents in the community to set up a water environment patrol team, and jointly maintains the community stream environment. In 2023, we participated in 160 charitable activities. A total of 862 volunteers making selfless contributions up to 3,289 hours through 2 CLC volunteer teams: “environmental protection” and the “caring”, which +80% YoY.

Environmental Protection Volunteer 1,425 hours

In 2023, CLC promoted recovered paper classification, beach, street, and mountain cleanups, and tree planting. We recycled 986 MT of paper in 2023, totaling 4,314 MT from 2020 to 2023. We also adopted and maintained 80 public toilets in Taiwan, providing eco toilet paper for public spaces to enable the public to practice environmental protection even while using the toilet. For this, we received a commendation as an enthusiastic company.

The Tayuan Mill formed a water patrol team for stream cleanups since 2016, and received a certificate of appreciation from the Taoyuan City Government. The Hsinchu Mill collaborated with the City Government to enhance the quality of water environment patrols, donating patrol materials such as sun hats and rain boots. Through public-private cooperation, we aim to create a livable city. CLC publicly recognized the employees for their selfless contributions.


Caring Volunteers 1,864 hours

CLC volunteers visited over 25 townships and towns across Taiwan, engaging in active interaction and cooperation with external units on projects such as winter charity donations, in-kind donations during 3 major folk festivals, and blood donations. We integrate resources to expand our influence. Since 2016, employees at each mill/plant have voluntarily donate blood. In 2023, various departments actively participated, collectively donating 266 bags, equivalent to 97,000 cc of blood. Starting in 2022, CLC partnered with the National Police Agency Broadcasting Service and the Jin-Shu Charity Foundation, donating household paper products to encourage public blood donations. This effort resulted in collecting 9,600 bags, or 2.4 million cc of blood.


Transformation and Upgrade of the Recycling Supply Chain 2.0: Cared for over 1,100 Frontline Individual Recyclers

Recognizing the hardships and economic difficulties faced by frontline recyclers, CLC has partnered with the environmental protection bureaus of counties and cities where its factories are located since the 2nd half of 2020. This initiative aims to care for Taiwan's 8,900 individual recyclers registered with the Ministry of Environment, with over 1,100 recyclers supported by 2023. In addition to personally listening to the voices of frontline workers, CLC has donated raincoats, gloves, and medical kits necessary for recycling work. The company has provided financial support and supplies (including household necessities and pandemic prevention materials) to ensure safer and more secure working conditions. Moreover, by incorporating frontline recyclers into the supply chain system, CLC has enhanced the effectiveness of carbon reduction and pollution prevention measures.

Promotion of Art and Sport

CLC has long been dedicated to the promotion of arts, culture, and sports activities. For many years, we have sponsored road races, bicycle events, concerts, calligraphy competitions, and painting activities, enriching the community's spiritual life. Encouraging participation in sports, CLC organizes national events such as the Andante Softball Friendly Tournament and Table Tennis Competition, inviting employees, third-party manufacturers, community groups, government agencies, and academic institutions to join in and enhance physical and mental health. To nurture the next generation of sports talent, CLC actively supports rural schools with funding for sports events, training equipment, and professional coaching resources, fulfilling our corporate social responsibility.
