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.

Community Building

Green Farm: Eat Good Rice, Do Good Deeds, Give Good Shoes

With guidance from the Taoyuan District Agricultural Research and Exchange Station, Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan, the organic rice produced in Juanchiaoli, Chutung Township is irrigated by the Chutung Canal, which runs through the Shangping River in Wufeng Township, where the water is clean and clear, making it suitable for growing organic rice that is beneficial to the environment and health. PSMC has collaborated with Green Farm, located in Zhudong’s Ruanqiao area, for 11 years in a row. Together, we spread goodness and love by promoting the Eat Good Rice, Do Good Deeds, Give Good Shoes welfare activity. Employees voluntarily purchase Zhudong Ruanqiao organic rice, and the farm contributes the "Profits Per Share(-cropping)" to a fund used for buying shoes given to Saint Francis Kindergarten at Hsinchu County’s Jianshi Township, Hsinchu County’s Sacred Heart Kindergarten, Taoshan Elementary School Affiliated Kindergarten, and more.
