6.3 Community Service and Sports Support

6.3.1 Community Service

PSC Volunteer Day

In 2020, we held the second PSC Volunteer Day. As the stock market would not open on make-up workdays, we called on our employees to join the ranks of serving as volunteers in the community. Due to the pandemic, we chose the outdoor beach cleanup in 2020. The Chairman led 100 volunteers to the Beidi beach,Waziwei, Bali District, Taipei, to clean up the beach actively. After a morning of hard work, they worked together to remove 453.7 kilograms of trash. We hope that employees can reflect on how to reduce the damage to the Earth by reducing carbon and plastic waste through the beach cleanup. Meanwhile, we set an annual carbon emission reduction target of 2%, to respond to the Paris Agreement to slow down global warming, to implement environmental sustainable management with practical actions and create positive changes to Taiwan. This event was suspended due to the pandemic in 2021 and 2022.

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 sportsoriented 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 2020. This certification is valid from 2020 to 2023, and PSC is among the few securities firms to receive this honor continuously.

Support for 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.

Participate in Golfing

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 supporting 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.
