Environmental Sustainability
SKL responds to international concerns about biodiversity and environmental sustainability by organizing events such as " Shin Kong Sustainable Lifestyle - From Farm to Table " and "sustainable oceans," which bring together the power of corporations and society to promote rural revitalization, preserve natural ecology, and achieve a win-win situation for corporations, agriculture, and society. In addition, through the Christmas Charity Market event, SKL has practiced a circular economy with the goal of achieving a friendly environment, while also promoting sustainable thinking among employees via public welfare activities.
Happy Dining Table with an Acre of Land
A total of 76 Shin Kong Smallholder Farmers' Market events were held in 2023. The total sales amount was close to NT$6 million (including Songshanjin Charity Market,) involving approximately 500 smallholder farmers in exhibitions and sales throughout the year. In 2023, this project received recognition at international levels, including the "Asia Responsible Entrepreneurship Awards," "National Brand Yushan Award," "Asia-Pacific and Taiwan Sustainability Action Awards (TSAA)," and "PwC Sustainability Impact Awards," underscoring Shin Kong's core values of "low carbon, innovation, and common good" in sustainable management.
Ecological conservation
In 2023, we continued to allocate funds to assist Taipei Zoo in participating in international conferences and exchanges, including the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) and the Southeast Asian Zoos and Aquariums Association (SEAZA), to align with international trends, update relevant knowledge, and enhance Taiwan's visibility in the international conservation community.
Sustainable oceans
In conjunction with the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology conduct a Coral Watch program, produce 400 copies of the "International Coral Health Color Card," and deepen into Yehliu, XiaoLiuqiu, and other elementary schools to train teachers in marine education; a total of 80 coral reef examiners have been trained since the start of the program, which will help create awareness of local residents and schoolchildren about marine conservation. Experienced divers with a certain level of experience will be invited to organize nine underwater cleanup activities from 2022 to 2023, with a total of 394 volunteer trips and 3,905 kilograms of marine debris removed.
