Social Welfare

Although WIN has not established a foundation, we still make contributions to the society as a corporate citizen when we pursue growth of the Company. By upholding the spirit of respecting life, caring for disadvantaged people, and giving back what is taken from society, WIN donates resources to support community building as well as economically disadvantaged community members. WIN also invests resources to reduce the impact on the environment and promote environmental protection awareness to fulfill environmental responsibilities and maximize social influence.

Type of contribution (Unit: NT$)

Spirit and Philosophy

WIN is fully aware of the importance of environmental protection and has been promoting environmental protection actions within the Company with the aim of promoting environmental protection and public welfare awareness so that employees will take the initiative to care about environmental topics.

Methods and Roles

During the pandemic, WIN called on employees to sort through toys at home with their children. Employees supported the event by participating in toy sorting and understanding reuse methods, so that toys can be recycled and reused while serving an educational purpose, creating new value for used toys. Over a hundred toys were donated by over 50 families.

WIN collected toy donations for Taiwan Toy Library Association, which has created an industry chain based on the concept of circular economy ecosystem, recycling and reusing toys to develop a unique network system that achieves "circulation." Besides making donations, employees also served as toy volunteers and participated in the donation by helping to organize and collect toys, taking part in the process to understand how toys are reused. This also allowed them to actively show concern about environmental issues. After the toys are sorted, they will have the opportunity to be distributed to schools in rural areas and related social welfare organizations, and will be used to meet needs of childcare and rehabilitation of elderly people, showing the value of toy reuse.

Expectations and Outlook

WIN encourages employees to lead their families in raising environmental protection awareness, and take action to support the ideals of charity organizations, making environmental protection and charity a part of daily life. Actively strengthen the connection between environmental protection and employees' daily life.

Spirit and Philosophy

A relatively low percentage of professional talent in the semiconductor industry is female. WIN began collaborating with Tamkang University in the event "Chemistry On the Go" in 2018, and has been a corporate partner for years, setting out from the concept of giving back to localities, and jointly spreading chemical safety and interesting elements to more schools that lack resources around Taiwan. The event allows female students to come in contact with interesting chemistry knowledge that span multiple fields, and cultivates future talent that is interested in STEM.

Methods and Roles

WIN recruited 70 chemistry volunteers in 2022, and provided services to Taoyuan City Daxi Junior High School, Longtan Junior High School, Taoyuan Junior High School, and New Taipei City Shihmen Experimental Junior High School. The volunteers serve as lecturers or assistants in lab courses and provide services on the front line, allowing resources to be delivered around Taiwan through the chemistry bus. This increases students' chemistry knowledge and lets students experience the fun of conducting experiments with their own hands, spreading chemistry safety and interesting elements for students to learn the popular science knowledge in textbooks.

Expectations and Outlook

WIN has created new value through interactions in its long-term partnership with Tamkang University, and also creates opportunities for industry-academia collaboration. WIN employees are also given the opportunity to contribute their expertise on campus, making students motivated and interested in learning knowledge through the innovative event design. We hope to use simple experiments that are easy to understand to demonstrate correct ideas and let students learn about science beyond textbooks. We aim to develop talents for chemistry and open up opportunities for employment in related sectors. We invited female employees to serve as chemistry volunteers, and female volunteers now account for over 60% of volunteers. We hope to encourage female students to breakthrough the stereotypes of gender in the workplace, so that they will have the opportunity to work in related fields in the future.

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. WIN hopes to bring resources to all parts of Taiwan and cultivate remote areas to create a dream environment for children that is filled with laughter.

Methods and Roles

As a corporate sponsor, WIN supports the Paper Windmill Foundation in promoting performances such as the Paper Windmill Rural Area Children's Art Project, the Hakka family drama, Rain Horse, and Norza The Adventure of Dragon Palace, a hand puppet theater played by real actors together with animations, and also supported the Paper Windmill Taiwan Youth Awards - 368 My Home call for contributions, cultivating the creation of films by youth. We encourage students to pay attention to their hometown culture through creative means and increase their confidence as the topics attract public attention, thereby reducing the gap between urban and rural areas.

The Paper Windmill Anti-Drug Youth Theater Project implemented in 2012 toured 945 junior high schools nationwide over that past decade. WIN began sponsoring performances of the Paper Windmill Foundation in 2015, and has sponsored a total of 35 performances at 33 schools. Starting in 2019, WIN became a co-organizer of the Paper Windmill Anti-Drug Youth Theater Project, and became 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 the theater performance.

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

Ming Hwa Yuan Arts & Cultural Group is one of the most representative opera theatre companies in Taiwan with nearly a century of history. It is a representative art family that has attempted innovative types of performance to carry on the past heritage and open up the future of theater, and also promote Taiwan's traditional performance culture around the world.

Methods and Roles

The pandemic severely impacted performing arts companies. WIN has played the role of corporate sponsor to support Ming Hwa Yuan in arranging new plays, preparing for numerous plans, and encouraging the youth to pass on performances. For the younger generation to attach importance to traditional arts performances, WIN sponsored the performances of schools that won the Golden Palm Awards, and gave students an opportunity to experience the unique appeal of theater performances. The chairman took action to support the performances by purchasing tickets and inviting employees and their families to jointly appreciate Chinese opera performances.

Expectations and Outlook

Four generations of the Ming Hwa Yuan family are all involved in the arrangement, directing, and performances of Chinese opera. In addition to performances each year, they also perform around Taiwan and arrange drama suitable for children, promoting Chinese opera from a young age. WIN continues to support art and culture groups with its actions, and hopes that different forms of theater performances will allow Taiwan to shine on the international stage.
