The 17th of each month is set as the Company’s Environmental Protection Day and various environmental protection issues will be promoted on a monthly basis. Through the integration of online and offline activities, both volunteers’ and employees’ commitment has been strengthened to convey the Company’s philosophy that “SinoPac loves the Earth”.ACHIEVEMENT AND IMPACT

The Company responded to the theme of “Comprehensive Action #EarthHelp” initiated by the Taiwan Environmental Information Association, and pledged to make the Earth operate sustainably using 300,000 green actions a year. It will continue to put into practice the attitude of SinoPac Life. As such, the idea of green life will not only be an action but it will be transformed into a habit, while promoting “sustainable life” for the future through participating in actions, cherishing resource, reducing waste and garbage, and recycling.
