Environmental, Social and Governance
Social Care
AcBel aims to transform into a green enterprise and cultivate sustainable social citizenship. The company integrates its operational strategies with the SDGs, focusing on employees as the main body and engaging stakeholders such as the government, community, schools, and the Hsu Chau-Ing Social Welfare and Charity Foundation. AcBel continuously deepens its roots in three main areas: diverse ecology, environmental education, and social care. The company adopts a “positive virtuous cycle” approach centered on environmental sustainability and public welfare, ensuring everyone can live somewhat in a sustainable society. This contributes to overall sustainable development, social growth, and innovation.
2023 Charity Activity
Ecological Protection Activity
Coastal Adoption and Beach Cleanup Activities
The nearest beach to AcBel’s manufacturing base in Taiwan is approximately 3 kilometers away. In response to local environmental concerns and to provide marine life with a clean home while maintaining biodiversity and reducing ocean waste pollution, AcBel publicly and proactively participated in the Ministry of Environment’s “Beach Adoption Program” in 2020, adopting a 600-meter coastline of “Zhouziwan Beach” in Tamsui District, New TaipeiCity. Over the years, AcBel has continuously organized beach cleanup activities, rallying employees and encouraging them to enjoy this beautiful environment with their families during their free time. In 2023, AcBel held two beach cleanup events with 44 employees participating, collecting 628 kilograms of marine debris, of which 430 kilograms were Styrofoam.
Environmental Sustainability Education
Water Resources Education Workshop
AcBel addresses environmental issues each year by organizing various environmental education courses. These have included participating in the “Do Something for the Tamsui River” advocacy initiative, promoting the “Leopard Cat Rice Watershed Restoration Plan—Rice Paddy Contract Farming” project, and last year’s “Project WET Water Resources Education Workshop.” These activities enhance employees’ awareness of water resources and biodiversity, fostering a concern for our living environment.
In 2023, the Citizen Science Project team launched the “Turtle Roll Call” education program. The team introduced the characteristics and habits of various sea turtle species and explained how technology is used to record sightings and images provided by divers. This data helps create identification cards and track each turtle’s sightings and living conditions, building a “population register” for sea turtles in Taiwan. The course, attended by 50 employees, highlighted the diversity of marine life and the urgency of environmental protection.
Green Energy and Carbon Reduction Education Camp
Facing climate change, AcBel initiated the “Green Energy and Carbon Reduction Learning Camp” in 2018. This initiative combines the “Employee Children’s Work-Study Program” with the “Environmental Issues Education Promotion” to instill awareness of environmental sustainability from a young age. In 2023, AcBel collaborated with Beitou Taoyuan and Tamsui Yu-Ying Elementary Schools to hold the “Green Energy and Carbon Reduction Learning Camp,” with 65 elementary school children participating.
Through examples, pictures, and interactive games, the children deeply understood the importance of biodiversity, the protection of rare species, and the maintenance of ecological balance. The camp also inspired their desire to protect the environment. Collaborating with the Shilin Science and TechnologyMuseum, the children visited diverse biodiversity exhibits and participated in hands-on activities. This experience allowed them to understand the workings of ecosystems and the close relationship between biodiversity and human life. From 2018 to 2023, 376 elementary school children from 12 schools participated in this green education course for free.
Social Care
"Flying with Dreams " Project
AcBel believes diverse educational methods can enrich children’s growth journeys, inspire unique potential, and enhance individual competitiveness. More importantly, it ensures that children from disadvantaged families retain fair learning opportunities. For many years, we have actively participated in the Hsu Chau-Ing Social Welfare and Charity Foundation’s “Flying with Dreams” program. This initiative nurtures children from disadvantaged families with potential, helping them learn diverse skills or talents and encouraging them to participate in competitions to regain personal confidence. Employees are invited to donate voluntarily to allow more people to participate in this program, turning small acts of love into significant support for more children’s learning and growth. In 2023, 433 employees contributed to the “Dream Come True Flying” program, raising NTD 833,344. This funding helped 49 children from disadvantaged families in their learning journey and achieved excellent competition results.
"Dreams Come True Wishes" Activity
AcBel, in collaboration with the Hsu Chau-Ing Foundation, organizes the “Dreams Come True Wishes” activity. This initiative matches the wish lists of underprivileged children from rural areas with employees who adopt these wishes. By actively caring for and providing supplies to more struggling families, we bring joy and laughter to disadvantaged families, allowing hope to grow in children’s hearts. In 2023, combined with our Christmas gratitude series of activities, we managed to fulfill the long-awaited wishes of 64 children through the “Dreams Come True Wishes” activity.
Year-End Fundraising Campaign
AcBel aims to strongly support underprivileged children and families in their pursuit of dreams. Every year-end, company executives lead employees in initiating a “Joint Fundraising Activity.” All the proceeds from this activity are donated to social welfare organizations to help socially disadvantaged groups and families, continuously advancing the positive force of social good. In 2023, the “Joint Fundraising Activity” saw the participation of 447 employees, raising a total of NTD 1,045,896.
Supporting Sports Activities
Childhood is a crucial stage for developing exercise habits and physical growth. Sports not only help children grow taller and improve their physical fitness but also reduce anxiety and depression symptoms in adolescence and promote team spirit. Starting in 2023, we sponsored the “Youth Basketball League” in Tamsui District, New Taipei City, with a total funding of NTD 50,000. Ten elementary school basketball teams participated in the competition.
Future Vision
Starting from its core business in power and energy, AcBel aligns with the United Nations SDGs, understands local needs, and plans to participate in various social engagement activities. In the future, we will focus on three core areas: “Equitable Education,” “Biodiversity,” and “Net-Zero Carbon Reduction.” We will continue to integrate and invest resources, leading our employees and supply chain partners to engage in more socially sustainable activities. By doing so, we aim to cultivate citizens with a strong awareness of sustainability and establish deep partnerships with the community, forming a positive societal cycle and promoting overall social development towards sustainability.
