The use of fossil fuels contributes to global warming, making the choice of energy sources a global concern. Taiwan, being an energy-scarce country, relies on imports for over 90% of its energy, making energy issues even more critical.  

The most important future energy sources are renewable energies like solar, hydro, and wind power, which harness natural forces. These energy sources produce minimal carbon dioxide during their generation, helping to prevent global warming and ensuring sustainability.

• Commitment to 2030: The Taichung plant aims to use 90% green electricity, investing 955 million in renewable energy projects to foster the development of the renewable energy industry and increase its share in the global energy mix.

Poverty can be categorized into two types. The first type is absolute poverty, where individuals lack basic necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter.  

The second type is relative poverty, where individuals' economic conditions are significantly worse than the average living standards in their society.  

Poverty not only deprives children of educational opportunities and experience but also negatively impacts various aspects of their lives, such as further education, employment, and income. Therefore, it is crucial to help these children escape poverty and create a society where every child can hope for a better future.  

Taiwan's poverty rate is 1.3%, much lower than Japan's, but the criteria for poverty vary by country, so the number of people living in poverty is far beyond our imagination.

• To assist children and families in need, continuous breakfast subsidies have been provided since 2011, accumulating approximately NT$6.69 million in sponsorships.
• To improve the basic living and housing quality of disadvantaged families, Winbond has collaborated with the Southern Taiwan Science Park Charity Month, accumulating approximately NT$220,000 in sponsorships since 2022.

The most representative greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide, along with methane and fluorocarbons.  

lobal warming is primarily caused by human activities, such as the extensive use of coal and oil as fuels, and the significant use of electricity and gas, all of which emit carbon dioxide, exacerbating global warming.  

Everyone on Earth has a responsibility to prevent further deterioration of global warming. It is not just the responsibility of governments or corporations; each individual must take action.

• Since 2006, Winbond has participated in the Perfluorocarbon Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Project initiated by the Taiwan and World Semiconductor Council, reducing approximately 2.28 million tons of CO2 emissions.

In addition to average life expectancy, there is a more important measure called “healthy life expectancy,” which refers to the length of time an individual can live independently without needing assistance or care. Japan, with its well-established healthcare system, is renowned for its longevity. The combined average life expectancy for men and women is 84.2 years, making it the highest in the world and over a year longer than the second-ranked Switzerland (83.3 years). This longevity is attributed to the excellent hygiene and nutritional status of the Japanese population, along with advancements in medical technology.  

Winbond aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3, “Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages,” with the following achievements:

• Winbond’s medical office cares for employees’ re-examination status, achieving a 100% care rate.
• Sports promotion participation: 30,476 participants, burning a total of 10,362,995 calories.
• Employees enjoy seven days of LOHAS leave in their first year, with an 82% usage rate.
• Various diverse clubs have been established, with 34 registered clubs as of 2023.
• The self-funded group insurance plan covers employees, their spouses, children, and parents, with total premiums paid in 2023 amounting to NT$27,626 thousand.

There are 617 million children worldwide who cannot achieve basic reading and math skills. Additionally, 1 in every 10 adults remains illiterate, totaling about 750 million people, two-thirds of whom are women. One reason is poverty, as many families cannot afford to send all their children to school, often prioritizing boys due to traditional gender biases.

• Educational Aid for Underprivileged Children: To support disadvantaged children and families with educational resources and stable schooling, Winbond has collaborated with the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families since 2017, inviting employees to participate in fundraising for educational aid. From the general manager to entry-level employees, everyone has enthusiastically responded. Between 2017 and 2022, a total of 5,366 beneficiaries received aid, with total donations amounting to NT2,146.4 million. In 2023, 1,023 children were helped, with donations totaling NT409.2 million.
