6.3 Community Service and Sports Support

6.3.1 Community Service

Mountain Cleanup Volunteer Activity

On September 23, a make-up workday when the stock market was closed, PSC organized a mountain cleanup volunteer activity at the Hushan Hiking Trail, with over 400 employees participating. This provided an opportunity for staff to enjoy some outdoor time on a non-trading day while also contributing to the preservation of the environment. During the hike, participants collected trash along the trail and surrounding areas and helped restore the natural beauty of the environment. Through hands-on participation, they were encouraged to reflect on the importance of sustainable mountain conservation. In addition, PSC places a focus on biodiversity issues and supports the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. For this event, we also invited Mr. Kao Rui-Shuang, Chairman of the Taiwan Nature Trail Society, to give our employees an ecological tour of the rich natural environment of the area.

Community Landscaping

To give back to the community where we are located, we installed New Year lights on the exterior of the headquarters building and sidewalk trees every year from Christmas Eve to Lantern Festival to improve the community environment and give back to local residents.

6.3.2 Sports Support

PSC highly encourages and actively promotes a corporate sports culture. To foster a sports-oriented culture, we advocate the spirit of sportsmanship and provide well-equipped sports facilities. In recognition of these efforts, PSC received the Sports Enterprise Certification from the Sports Administration, Ministry of Education in 2023. This certification is valid from 2023 to 2026, and PSC is among the few securities firms to receive this honor continuously.

Employee Participation in Sports Events

Securities Cup Table Tennis Tournament

PSC supports sports competitions. Since 1991, we have sent teams formed by supervisors to participate in the Securities Cup Table Tennis Tournament for 31 years with great performance every year. Since the 29th tournament, there has been a category for top executives such as chairmen and presidents, and PSC has been consistently achieving excellent rankings in this category as well.

Golf Activity

PSC’s senior managers held the PSC friendly golf tournament, inviting golfers from the financial industry and employees to participate in their spare time, to learn about golf skills and relax their psychological and physical stress.

Support for Local Sports Competition Development

PSC has been a long-time sponsor of the Uni Lions Baseball Team in the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) for 8 consecutive years since 2015. This support reflects the Company's commitment to promoting local sports events and enhancing the sports culture in Taiwan.
