Moreover, we endeavor to provide our employees with comprehensive benefits and create a safe and friendly workplace for them. Through the programs of the foundations we established in Taiwan and China, as well as the efforts of our factories in each region, we adhere to the mission of caring for the community and giving back to society, and continuously promote social contribution activities to carry out our corporate social responsibility.
