Social Inclusion
Winbond’s headquarters is located in the Central Taiwan Science Park in Taichung City, with additional facilities and offices in Kaohsiung City and Hsinchu County/City.

For communities in Kaohsiung and Hsinchu, where the headquarters is not located, the company prioritizes sustainability initiatives and improvement measures based on operational needs and resource allocation considerations.

Happy Breakfast Program for Rural Students
To improve the breakfast situation for students in remote areas, Winbond has been sponsoring the "Happy Breakfast Program" for rural elementary school students in regions such as Hsinchu through a nonprofit foundation since 2011. By providing breakfast resources and care to rural schools, the program ensures students' basic living and health needs are met, enabling them to build strong minds and bodies for exploring the world. In 2024, Winbond continues its sponsorship with around NT$600,000 allocated for breakfast expenses, supporting the students' healthy learning opportunities. Additionally, company representatives conduct on-site visits to assess the program's impact as a reference for future planning.
