Spirit and philosophy
WIN is deeply aware of the urgency of environmental protection and has been implementing long-term environmental initiatives within the company. We aim to promote an eco-friendly mindset and public welfare actions. This year, the Company is focusing on the concept of "land, sea, and air", encouraging employees to actively care about environmental issues and extend their impact to their surroundings.
Methods and roles
Located in Xionglin Township, Hsinchu County, part of the WIN community, the “Natural Valley Environmental Trust Site” is Taiwan’s first case of an environmental public trust. It is currently managed by the Taiwan Environmental Information Association and is dedicated to conserving a 1.3-hectare low-elevation mountain ecosystem. WIN collaborated with the Taiwan Environmental Information Association, adopting a corporate participation model that combines environmental education and volunteer service. Taking into account the environmental carrying capacity of the site, a maximum of 26 local and foreign employees took part in the work to help preserve the native ecosystem.
Due to the rapid growth of bamboo forests, employees assisted the management unit in completing bamboo thinning. During the process, protective glasses, gloves, and safety helmets are required. The participants hike along muddy ridgelines to enter the habitat. There, they learn how to operate thinning tools and identify designated thinning areas, helping to expand the habitat for native species. The discarded bamboo can be recycled or turned into green fertilizer, fully utilizing all resources. Employees learned to make bamboo straws by processing thinned bamboo through multiple steps, including cutting, sanding, cleaning, and boiling in vinegar water. This helped them appreciate the value of resource reuse.
In response to the “No Deforestation” policy, participation in activities at Natural Valley integrates ESG principles into daily life. These experiences inspire respect for nature, promote coexistence, and encourage the sharing of passion for and commitment to environmental sustainability. Employees mentioned that they “deeply experienced the sustainability values of environmental trusts, where effective mechanisms allow nature to thrive”, and that “even while drenched in sweat, they were doing their part in maintaining ecological balance”. Reusing simple resources is not only about creating a new item, but is also a commitment to environmental sustainability.
Expectations and outlook
WIN encourages employees to implement environmental protection concepts in their lives and take action to support the ideals of charity organizations through participation in environmental protection, making environmental protection and charity a part of daily life. The Company aims to deepen lateral connections and create a multiplier effect.
Spirit and philosophy

Spirit and philosophy
Paper Windmill has long adhered to the concept of “children need children's theater, and Taiwan needs its own children's theater” for creating a children's theater dream factory. Paper Windmill has promoted the Paper Windmill Rural Area Children's Art Project for many years, creating a platform where children can experience theater. Through long-term corporate support and the actual participation of the Chairman, WIN hopes to bring resources to all parts of Taiwan and cultivate remote areas to create a dream environment for children that are filled with laughter, and expand its influence to overseas.
Methods and roles
In 2024, WIN contributed NT$5 million in cash donations as a corporate sponsor to continue our long-term support for the Paper Windmill Foundation’s Children’s Art Project. The 2024 Children’s Art Project marked the launch of the third phase, titled “Sustainable Journey”. This phase tailors performances to each county and city, featuring local stories that help children understand their culture and history and foster emotional connections with their hometowns. The performances are integrated with SDG concepts and rooted in themes of cultural equity and environmental education. They enable the children to implement the concepts in their lives and meet global trends.
The Paper Windmill Anti-Drug Youth Theater Project implemented in 2012 toured junior high and elementary schools nationwide. WIN began sponsoring performances of the Paper Windmill Foundation in 2015, and became a co-organizer of the Paper Windmill Anti-Drug Youth Theater Project in 2019. We have become a major force in anti-drug efforts among domestic youth. WIN continues to engage in charity with a positive attitude, and spreads the warmth of different sectors through theater performances.
Expectations and outlook
Paper Windmill has entered 368 rural areas with theater, letting children throughout Taiwan experience the charm of live performances. As a long-term sponsor, WIN gives support by taking action and hopes to achieve social care and children's education through resource investments. Remote areas can take watching theater performances as an opportunity to expand the resources of disadvantaged schoolchildren throughout Taiwan.
Spirit and philosophy
To promote a culture of volunteering within WIN, and with the spirit of cherishing resources, employees were mobilized to support a local NGO, the Step30 Linkou Bethlehem Warehouse. Volunteers assisted in sorting donated goods, while the Company encouraged internal donations. This initiative brought together employee compassion to support health and education efforts in impoverished regions of Africa, while also contributing to effective resource reuse and recycling. The impact of the initiative was not limited to overseas. Employees' family and friends were also encouraged to participate.
Methods and roles
In line with the schedule of Step30 and warehouse manpower needs, several volunteering sessions were arranged to sort the supplies. WIN employees and their family members were also invited to support the collection of materials. Through participation in material sorting, employees gained a deeper understanding of actual needs and learned how to classify and select items during the service process. They effectively assisted in the sorting of large volumes of donated goods.
Subsequently, WIN organized a cross-plant donation drive, with seed volunteers assisting in front-line sorting. This ensured that collected items, such as shoes, clothing, and backpacks, met the specific needs before donation, effectively reducing the workload and processing time at the Step30 warehouse. A total of 53 local and foreign employees and their family members volunteered to organize the goods. Nearly 1,200 shoes, clothes, and bags were collected from WIN to further encourage employees to participate, WIN purchased hand-crafted products and agricultural products from disadvantaged women in the local economy as gifts for the event. We support organizational income through consumption, increasing employment opportunities for women.
Expectations and outlook
WIN provided effective manpower utilization through cooperation with local NGOs. After the event, volunteers proactively shared their reflections in submissions to the Company’s internal publication. The donation drive inspired ongoing enthusiasm, with employees continuing to contribute through goods donations and financial support. The participation of families and children in the event created greater value for the charity activity.
Spirit and philosophy
Located in Liouguei District, Kaohsiung, the Nibun Association for Cultural and Educational Care discovered that due to economic hardship, being raised by grandparents, single-parent households, or domestic violence, many of the youth begin working right after junior high school to support their families, often missing the chance to pursue further education. With a mission to promote cultural education and social care, the association, established in July 2017, brings together resources from various fields to support the education of underprivileged children in remote areas. It also aims to foster local culture and art and develop diverse local cultures. Through these efforts, Nibun seeks to address the shortage of educational resources in rural areas and help local children explore and develop their musical talents.
Methods and roles
In 2024, WIN donated NT$1 million to the Nibun Association for Cultural and Educational Care in Kaohsiung City to sponsor the Kahuzas Youth Choir in participating in the World Choir Games held in New Zealand. Living up to expectations, the Kahuzas Youth Choir proudly earned a silver medal in the children’s category. Kahuzas means singing in the Bunun language. In the daily life of indigenous peoples, it is more than artistic expression. Singing is part of their cultural heritage.
Music is a universal language that moves people through its powerful effect on the human heart. By blending tradition, innovation, and diversity, performances by the choir showcase the inclusivity and heritage of Taiwanese culture. By incorporating traditional songs and dances into their performance, the choir achieved an outstanding result at the World Choir Games, allowing the world to experience the depth and vibrancy of Taiwan’s diverse cultures.
Expectations and outlook
WIN continues to promote good voices in local music through the Nibun Association for Cultural and Educational Care. Our support has been expanded from tutoring to caring for the living conditions of children and their families. We link the resources needed by children and youths to ensure their future development.
