Responding to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Following the five steps found in the “Business Reporting on the SDGs,” published by the United Nations and the GRI, we were able to identify 7 goals that correlate with Wistron’s sustainability vision and charity strategy and they are as follows: SDG 1 No Poverty, SDG 3 Good Health and Well-Being, SDG 4 Quality Education, SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation, SDG 9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, SDG 15 Life on Land, and SDG 17 Partnerships for the Goals.



Wistron Foundation

Since the establishment in 2010, the two focus areas of the Wistron Foundation's development and public welfare strategies have been "environment" and "humanities". In this way, the concept of "altruism" has been practiced, and the balance and harmony between human and nature have also been committed to facilitate. The foundation cooperates with non-profit partners with the same philosophy to carry out diversified and long-term project partnership. We strategically focus on culture & care and the environment in order to strengthen the protection of the environment and ecology and to enhance the humanistic values. The 6 major aspects of project investments include: environmental protection, habitat adoption, environmental education, cultural enhancement, education and care, and service implementation. Work proposals of the Foundation are regularly submitted to the Board of Directors each year to report on the implementation status and results and ensure that the charity projects meet the aims and targets of the Foundation. In 2023, a total of 27 projects were implemented.

Employees’ Impact

Wistron’s vision of "Sustainability through Innovation" symbolizes a step towards a new era. Concurrently, the company has shaped its mission as a "Trusted Innovation Partner in Technology, Sustainability & Better Lives," committed to upholding our four core values: customer focus, integrity, innovation, and sustainability, in response to the pressing sustainable challenges confronting society. In addition to existing philanthropic efforts, Wistron encourages employees to engage in social welfare activities. This has been met with enthusiastic responses in voluntary donation campaigns and charity sales. In terms of technological innovation, the company has set long-term development goals, collaborating with industry, academia, and research institutions to leverage technology for creating development opportunities and realizing the vision for smart living. Wistron has long partnered with philanthropic organizations, consistently contributing to environmental conservation, education, and protection as well as jointly establishing sustainable development goals and provide employees with opportunities to participate.

To aid in the restoration of natural landscapes, Wistron's corporate volunteers took one-day working holidays. In Yuanshan Township, Yilan County, they worked together to carve out conservation areas, optimize the slope of the northern dike, clear invasive species, and restore endangered aquatic plants in Shuanglianpi. In Taipei's Fuyang Eco Park, they cleaned mountains, removed invasive species, and restored plants and flora on barren land. In Taipei's Guandu Nature Park, they engaged in freshwater fish restoration and bird-friendly farming. In 2023, 231 employees volunteered across 12 working holiday activities.
