Cherishing the Green Planet

The “Eco-friendly Agriculture” farming method takes water and soil resources, ecological environment, and biodiversity into consideration. Land with this farming method can not only be used for farming, but also for the experience of being and life. Yet it needs more maintenance since it is easier to encounter the challenge of natural disasters and pest damage.

We invited Ru-men Yang, who was farming in Jingshan under contract to promote his ideas and fresh rice in 2017. We also continued to support Liming Xiangyang Welfare House leading people with disabilities to do farming, stock farming, and gardening in the non-polluted nature environment in Hualien. We asked employees to purchase gift boxes on holidays and let the farmers sell products on-site regularly to support eco-friendly agriculture and help promotion.

Compal encourages employees to care for the land we live in and find ways to "co-exist" with the environment. Through physical participation, we hope to make employees appreciate the wonders of a green and sustainable environment, and reflect these values through action at work and in life. As a result, we brought enterprise environmental education into the employees’ training and green experience activity. Since 2017, we held educational activities of knowing and promoting sustainable seafood, organic contracted agriculture, visiting the NTU museum to learn about the immigration culture of Taiwan and the ferns, visiting the north coast to learn about the algae reef and coral reef, visiting the Guandu Natural Park to learn about natural ecology, and hand-making eco-friendly hand-made soap and desserts with current seasonal fruits. We also encouraged employees to bring their children along to cultivate green values and an environmentally ethical concept from a young age. At the same time arousing employees’ respect and love for nature, learning how to be a more competent keeper of the Earth.

In response to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United Nations, with 14th item "Life below Water" to be persistently implemented in 2021 as the main approach, we held a total of three beach cleaning activities.

1. A total of 62 colleagues and their families signed for the joint enterprise beach cleanup activity held in Wangyou Valley, Badouzi Seaside Park, Keelung. In this challenge, a total of 300 partners from Lite-On, Compal, Gigabyte Technology, Poseidon Global, and Rotary Club of Taipei Tagala participated in picking up marine debris from the high and low rock crevices of the rocky coast and sea erosion terrain. In the end, a total weight of 1,237.4 kilograms of marine waste was removed.
2. Compal has participated in the initiative activity, “Do one thing for Tamsui River” held by Common Wealth Magazine.
3. A total of 30 Compal colleagues participated in the Dadaocheng Ecology and History Guided Tour.
4. Sponsor The Society of Wilderness for mangrove wetland conservation.
5. More than 50 teachers and students from Shouling Elementary School, Mituo Township responded to World Oceans Day and went to Mituo Seawall to clean up the beach. As the first time for the students to pick up marine debris, the marine education and beach cleanup activity not only allowed them to realize how the debris goes from land to the ocean and causes marine pollution but also raised their awareness of environmental protection starting from early childhood.
