The founder of Formosa Plastics Group once said: “One person’s
hand can only hold so many things. But only when he/she lets go of everything
are they able to obtain all that the world has to offer”. He wanted to
emphasize that only through continually serving one’s fellow man can one truly
make significant contributions. On the surface an act of kindness may only seem
like it benefits the recipient, but in fact the person engaged in serving
others will get back even more than the people who are being served. The more
people that can contribute, the greater the achievements will be. Therefore the
founder of Formosa Plastics Group has always sought to not only allow the
company to grow but also to work hard in serving the community. During the 2009
Typhoon Morakot relief efforts we helped to launch a relief fund-raising
campaign which raised money to donate to the assistance of residents in the
affected areas rebuild their homes. Another response to the trend of energy and
reduction of carbon emissions was our sponsorship of the Taoyuan County
Government’s "Low-Carbon Living Exhibitions and Charity Hiking Activities." We
believe that human beings are interdependent, living in the community the
strong must help the week, and the rich must help the poor. We all need to do
our part in our society and country.
 Caring
for the Community
At the Jin-hsin campus we set up a “good neighbor group”. They
are doing a good job in areas of factory environment, maintenance, and properly
communicating with the community in order to mobilize their environmental
volunteer teams. They also are continuously investing in the local neighborhood
activities such as temple festivals, activities for the elderly, weddings and
funerals, factory organized activities, etc. to establish rapport and peaceful
relations with the local people.

Conservation Volunteers and Park Adoption
Starting in 2007 we have made large efforts to promote the
Environmental Protection Volunteer Program at the Jinsing campus, which takes
place on the 1st morning of each month. All participants dress in green vests
and sweep roads around the plant (including the road by the factory gate, flood
control walls, and the former factory door near the Nankan sections) and the
surrounding suburbs. In addition to improving the cleanliness of the
environment, these activities allow the local residents to work together with
our company and employees in building a better environment.
In addition, we also are putting on events to promote neighborhood projects, so
that nearby residents have a good environment to live in. Starting in 2003 we
began to adopt parks around our factories and commence in cleaning and
beautifying projects to create a beautiful and clean environment.

The Jin-hsin campus hiking activities not only allowed
employees to enjoy mountain scenery, ease work pressure, and build bonds

children of Taoyuan County who cannot afford lunch. Donators are up to 560, the
amount of money donation has grown to NT$ 100,000,and the beneficial schools
are around 20 by far. These activities, combined with the increase in the
number of regular contributions, can serve as a model for other private
charitable events.

Earthquake in response to the appeal of the government, supporting relief and
recovery programs for those people in need.
