At BenQ Materials, local engagement is not just a slogan—it is a daily practice of walking into communities, listening, and building genuine connections.
ESG is more than a set of performance indicators for sustainable development; it is a core philosophy that guides our decisions and actions every day. We believe that corporate growth should progress in tandem with the communities we belong to—starting with understanding local rhythms and addressing real community needs. Through a series of tangible initiatives, we are fulfilling our long-term commitment to both people and place.
Working with Farmers: Launching the “Taiwan Local Food Action” Program
Faced with climate change, supply-demand imbalance, and labor shortages in agriculture, BenQ Materials launched the “Taiwan Local Food Action” initiative. This program connects smallholder farmers, e-commerce platforms, local governments, and internal corporate resources to co-create a support network for food sustainability and social inclusion.
By partnering with local farming platforms such as San Xia Farmers’ Market, we regularly purchase surplus produce—those affected by weather and unable to be sold through traditional channels—and integrate them into our employee meals, reducing agricultural waste while supporting farmers’ livelihoods. These fruits and vegetables come with origin details and farmer stories, helping our employees appreciate the environmental and social value behind what they eat.
We also proactively connect with local agricultural offices and farmers’ associations, becoming a vital communication link to understand urgent farming needs and provide timely support—fostering trust and cooperation between corporations and rural communities.
Extending Care Through the Employee Cafeteria
Our commitment to local care goes beyond external partnerships—it starts within, by taking care of our people. We believe a company can only move steadily toward sustainability by safeguarding the health and well-being of its employees.
In addition to promoting organically grown ingredients and offering healthy local produce through the cafeteria, BenQ Materials has implemented a variety of physical and mental wellness support initiatives for employees, including:
-
Free Annual Health Check-ups: Helping employees monitor their health and prevent risks early on.
-
Psychological Counseling Services: Providing accessible emotional support resources.
-
Diverse Sports Clubs and Health Events: Encouraging regular physical activity and team bonding.
-
On-site Stress Relief and Massage Facilities: Offering relaxation solutions in the workplace to reduce stress and improve focus.
These actions reflect our people-centered values and our deep-rooted commitment to both land and life. At BenQ Materials, we believe true sustainability is only possible through shared prosperity with people and communities.
