Social Prosperity

CT has long been concerned about socially   underprivileged individuals from various corners of society and the Chairman   is deeply attentive to issues affecting these vulnerable groups. He once told   colleagues that whenever someone requests to see him, whether they are   cleaning staff or foreign migrant workers, the Chairman considers it could be   a very important matter. Therefore, he dispatches the relevant departments to   listen carefully to their appeals, understand their actual needs, and then   provide the greatest possible assistance in a timely manner through actions   such as donating funds and materials or providing volunteer services, repair   services, and emergency relief.

Small‑scale farmers’ garlic sprouts,CT will   support              March 18, 2024

The problems of climate change and global warming   are intensifying, resulting in disastrous rainfall, floods, droughts, and   extreme weather events occurring frequently, posing a serious threat to   socioeconomic development and to people’s lives and property, and local   agriculture in Taiwan has been especially hard hit.

Deeply rooted in Taoyuan, CT purchases garlic   sprouts from local small-scale farmers to provide them with additional income   when their harvests are poor. Through this cooperation, the agricultural   products purchased are also distributed to all factory employees.

CT offers numerous employment opportunities to   inmates, enabling them to secure stable work and acquire skills, so that they   can smoothly reintegrate back into society in the future, while also   supporting government policies to alleviate overcrowding in detention   facilities. Not only that, if employees under external correctional   supervision perform well, CT will give them priority employment upon their   release, hoping to give them a new beginning. As time has passed, the results   have gradually blossomed. Currently, CT has over 300 employees, of whom more   than 10 are rehabilitated individuals.

To   contribute to saving lives and support local healthcare           December 12, 2024

Adhering to the principle of giving back to   society, the Company donated NTD 200 thousand to the National   Taiwan University Hospital Jinshan Branch to support its "Hospital   Affairs Development" program, helping to enhance the quality of medical   care in the North Coast region and strengthen local medical capacity.

The donated funds will be used to optimize in‑hospital   facilities and medical resources, helping to improve healthcare conditions in   remote areas, narrow the gap in uneven distribution of medical resources, and   enable more people to access high‑quality   medical services nearby.

Caota Sand Dunes Geological Park in Taoyuan City   spans Dayuan District and Guanyin District, measures 8.1 kilometers in length   and covers 284 hectares, and constitutes the largest and most complete   coastal sand dune in Taiwan. The Taoyuan City Government works with citizens   to protect the coastal ecosystem, involving local residents, students, and   many local companies that lead their employees in beach cleanup efforts. CT   is one of them. We led our colleagues to Caota Sand Dunes to join a beach   cleanup. Together, everyone joined hands to protect the environment, make a   contribution, and show their love for the ocean by becoming marine debris   guardians.

Each year   in Taiwan, over 600 infants and young children lose their original families   and enter care institutions. These children often suffer from severe   allergies and hyperactivity symptoms. Fruits and vegetables are critically   important supplies for orphanages and are a nutritious, natural snack.

Century   Steel collaborated with the Green Box Baby Association to organize a fruit   and vegetable packaging activity at the Wugu warehouse, selecting produce   grown using eco‑friendly farming methods to create more positive   cycles for the land, not only helping the organization address labor   shortages but also embodying the ideals of environmental friendliness and   social friendliness.

To   cultivate professional talent for the green energy industry and support the   national green energy policy, in order to establish a model of education,   become a training base for green energy talent, and concurrently assist   national economic development. Chairman Lai Wen Xiang upholds the principles   of integrating learning and practice, corporate sponsorship of education, and   immediate employment upon graduation. Based on these principles, the Chairman   hopes to guides young people to explore themselves and broaden their   horizons, and looks forward to more outstanding students enrolling at Century   Green Energy Vocational Senior High School and interning at the various   companies under the Century Group to become the Group’s future pillars. In   2024, the Century Group’s industry-education collaboration had 58   participants.

Emphasis on education in remote areas                   June 20, 2024

Chairman   Lai Wen Xiang understands the difficulties rural students face in accessing   education. Chiayi Shetuan Primary School is so remote that after entering   junior high school, students must walk over an hour to reach the nearest   school, making bicycles a necessary means of transportation. To broaden   children’s horizons and give rural students confidence and the ability to   learn, CT has continually donated laptops or bicycles to graduates each year   for the past 16 years.

Visits to   the Company are offered occasionally to students and parents interested in   learning about the steel structure manufacturing industry. During these   visits, dedicated staff will explain to students and parents the drafting and   manufacturing processes for wind power and steel structures, as well as green   energy development and the Company’s ESG model. Through these hands-on   visits, students can experience a real workplace atmosphere and apply what   they learn at school, and parents can feel confident placing their children   in internships at Century Group. To date, a total of 127 participants, 1 from   elementary school, 2 from junior high schools, and 1 from senior vocational   high school, have taken part.
