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.

Maintaining the Cleanness of Parks, Public Toilets, and Parking Lots |

This is not only cleaning the environment but also strengthening ties with the local residents.
