As December draws to a close, FIC Global, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as FICG, stock code: 3701.TW) successfully completed its 2024 “Sustainability Month” initiative, demonstrating its unwavering commitment to sustainable development through warm and impactful actions. This year, FICG joined forces with its subsidiaries—FIC, 3CEMS Group, Ubiqconn Technology, FIC Turn Power, and the CGCH Foundation for Education—along with several nonprofit organizations (NPOs) such as the Society of Wilderness and the Champions Education Association. Under the theme “Communication and Dialogue: Co-creating a Sustainable Future,” the initiative connected employees with the community, integrating educational outreach with hands-on sustainability efforts to build a more inclusive and sustainable future.
Continuing the Power of Caring
Since 2023, FICG has dedicated December as ‘Sustainability Month,’ using this platform to advance corporate social responsibility. In its inaugural year, the “Giving Tree” initiative delivered Christmas gifts filled with blessings to nearly 100 underprivileged schoolchildren. In 2024, the focus expanded to education and knowledge-sharing, with nine company representatives volunteering as storytellers to engage with children in local communities.
FICG’s sustainability goals extend beyond community engagement; a series of sustainability lectures were held within the company, covering key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG4 (Quality Education), SDG12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG13 (Climate Action), and SDG17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
To further their commitment, FICG volunteers underwent professional training before visiting the Quaker Da’an Family Support Center and the Hui-Long Family Support Center in New Taipei City. Through storytelling sessions and interactive activities, they helped 78 children understand the importance of sustainability and promoted responsible toy usage by encouraging them to donate unused toys to those in need. This initiative not only extended the life cycle of toys but also reinforced the principles of SDG12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), spreading love and warmth while fostering environmental consciousness.
“The children were so happy. Thank you to the foundation for giving them an unforgettable Christmas,” expressed staff members at the centers, deeply grateful for FICG and its volunteers’ dedication. The initiative not only brought festive joy but also planted the seeds of sustainability in young hearts.
Partnering with NPOs to Create Impact
The 2024 Sustainability Month initiative extended beyond community outreach, as FICG hosted a series of events focused on ‘Co-creating a Sustainable Future.’ These initiatives addressed employee well-being, environmental conservation, and intergenerational communication, with over 400 employees participating and collaborating with four NPOs and professional lecturers. These efforts demonstrated the company’s vision of fostering sustainability alongside society：
- Employee Mental Health and Zero-Waste Living Lectures
Professional psychologists were invited to provide engaging insights and practical techniques to help employees achieve work-life balance. Additionally, experts from the Society of Wilderness delivered an inspiring lecture on environmental protection, motivating employees to integrate zero-waste practices into their daily lives. - Outdoor Workshop: Climate Change under the Trees
In collaboration with the Society of Wilderness, this workshop, held in Da’an Forest Park, allowed participants to experience the challenges and solutions of climate change firsthand while being immersed in nature. - Employee Sustainability Salon: Communication Skills across Generations
This session explored intergenerational value differences and collaboration opportunities, fostering mutual understanding and teamwork across different age groups to build a solid foundation for the company’s future growth. - Community Storytelling Volunteer Service
Partnering with the Champions Education Association, volunteers engaged children in fun and educational storytelling sessions that conveyed essential environmental and sustainability concepts, helping them develop sustainable citizenship from an early age.
Taking Action for a Sustainable Future
Through diverse and meaningful initiatives, FICG has not only demonstrated its commitment to employee well-being and environmental responsibility but has also made a profound positive impact on society. From gift-giving to underprivileged children and interactive storytelling to community engagement, FICG actively embodies the essence of sustainability, extending warmth and knowledge to every corner.
These efforts help children cultivate a sustainability mindset from a young age while laying a solid foundation for their future. Every action taken contributes to transforming society and the planet for the better.
