Environmental Conservation

PSMC realizes that the impact of climate change and biodiversity on corporate operations, the ecological environment, and even human society cannot be underestimated, and specific actions must be taken to mitigate the impact. By responding to the Science Park's "Industrial Safety and Environmental Protection Month" plan, we promote a series of activities with main themes including "environmental protection" and "environmental education", calling on colleagues, family members and the general public to contribute to environmental protection, and cultivate the environmental awareness of colleagues and the public in order to demonstrates the determination to protect the terrestrial and marine ecological environment.

 

Moreover, PSMC engages in and sponsors research, discussions, and related activities in the field of environmental conservation in order to promote environmental protection education and the application of environmental protection at home and abroad. PSMC is actively applying the results of these programs to individuals, society, and enterprises, expecting to put environmental conservation actions into practice in everyday life.

 

Keep the Sea Clean

PSMC gathered 149 employees and their families to participate in a beach cleanup activity on the north shore of the Guanyin Temple at Nanliao Fishing Harbor, Hsinchu City, Taiwan, and removed non-marine litter. The beach cleanup activity was also documented in the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) log sheet, which monitors marine debris. According to the item-by-item records of the garbage picked up by the group, the total area of the beach cleaned on that day was about 500 meters, and a total of 454.8 kg of various types of waste were removed.

 

 

Mountain Cleanup initiative

100 participants, including PSMC employees, partners from TATA, and contractors, gathered at the Tongluo Skywalk to take part in a mountain cleanup event. Through cleaning the environment near the fab, the event aimed to enhance environmental awareness among participants and demonstrate PSMC's commitment to corporate social responsibility. The cleanup route was c. 2.6 km long, and 245.2 kg of waste was collected during the event.

 

 

Tree Planting and Forest Conservation Activity

PSMC, in collaboration with the Tse-Xin Organic Agriculture Foundation, continues to support the Taiwan Green Great Wall Afforestation Initiative. In this effort, 500 trees were planted in the following locations: Mao'erding Section in Zhubei, Hsinchu, and Jixin/Jibao sections in Wujie Township, Yilan, to protect the nearby coastline and prevent land erosion.

 

 

Adopting Parks, Public Restrooms, and Parking Lots

To uphold the spirit of local community service, PSMC has partnered with the Hsinchu Science Park Administration for two consecutive years to organize clean-up and maintenance adoption activities for nearby parks. In collaboration with the Occupational Safety and General Affairs Department, we arranged for cleaning personnel to perform public restroom cleaning, grass cutting, sidewalk plant trimming, and dead branch removal. In 2024, PSMC adopted public restrooms at Zhunan Science Park community park, and Tongluo Skywalk surrounding parking lots, as well as Nanliao Ecological Park. These efforts help strengthen relationships with government agencies and local residents.

 

 

Flea Market

Employees donated unused household items for a charity sale during the event, promoting resource reuse and environmental sustainability. Proceeds from the event, which totaled NT$168,218, were entirely donated to charitable causes.

  2. Supporting Sustainability with Creativity – EcoFriendly DIY Workshop: This event encouraged employees to create beautiful potted plants using recycled waste materials, promoting the concept of "circular economy" from an aesthetic perspective.
  3. The Impact of Climate Change on Water Resources and Adaptation Seminar: A professional scholar delivered an insightful lecture to help employees understand environmental protection and the challenges posed by climate change. The course enhanced awareness of water resources, treatment, and reuse. In 2024, a total of 255 employees participated in this seminar.
  4. Eco-Education Tour – Explore and Learn Activity: Employees participated in environmental education site visits, where they gained knowledge, values, attitudes, and skills related to sustainability, and shared their insights with colleagues.

 

 

Nature Exploration Team Let's Go

PSMC continues to expand our focus and resource investment in local environmental conservation. Hosted in-person lectures at the P5 fab and live-streaming sessions on Pteam have had 266 participants. The program incorporates the concept of citizen science, engaging participants through visual, auditory, and olfactory senses to explore lowland forest ecosystems. The initiative aims to cultivate scientific literacy and environmental conservation awareness, while also helping participants develop basic observation skills and learn to record and explore nature's mysteries through scientific methods.
