Co-prosperity with Community

Creating mutual-benefit relationships with local communities is the goal for PSMC’s local engagement. Following PSMC Public Welfare Committee’s planning focused on community building and charitable donations, the Company takes employees to rural areas, campuses, and communities to promote and participate in local public affairs. Through concrete volunteering commitment and resource donations, the Company strives to mitigate urban-rural gaps, support local agricultural products/special products, promote equal educational opportunities for young people, and encourage sports activities. All of this is aimed at using our corporate strengths to achieve collective prosperity, collective benefits, and sustainable development with society.
