- (3)Social Welfare Activities of MDS in 2025 "Mid-Autumn Festival Charity Initiative":
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a warm and meaningful time for reunion. In 2025, we transformed this spirit of togetherness into love and blessings. We supported the Andrew Charity Association’s “Full Moon, Full of Love” campaign, launching a company-wide fundraising initiative to benefit the association’s food bank and provide support for vulnerable children under 15 and seniors over 65 across Taiwan. Every donation from the company and our colleagues was converted by the Andrew Charity Association into food boxes or food funds, offering practical assistance to those in need. MDS and our employees donated NT$579,900 together, all of which was contributed to the Andrew Charity Association. We hope these heartfelt blessings travel far and wide during this festival of reunion, bringing warmth and support to more people. This year’s charity initiative aligned with ESG values and contributed to SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). While giving back to society, we also fulfilled our commitment to sustainability. We will continue to focus on social issues and further promote positive cycles of goodwill.
- (4)2025 Sustainability Action "Sustainable Sugarcane Farming Actions":
In line with our commitment to sustainability and the belief in “steady and proactive action toward long-term progress,” MDS collaborated with Walk in Taiwan in 2025 to embark on a sustainability journey in Baoshan, Hsinchu, centered on sustainable action, community well-being, and local agriculture. Baoshan was once a major sugar-production site in Taiwan and an important export contributor. With economic and industrial changes and population decline, the sugar industry gradually faded. However, returning local youth have revitalized the community by establishing the “Xincheng Fengtang Leisure Farm” organization, promoting toxin-free and eco-friendly farming, creating local job opportunities, encouraging youth to return home, advancing food-and-farm education, preserving sugar-production techniques through tourism, and introducing innovative elderly-care models. These efforts strengthen ties between community youth and local elders while addressing population aging. Through sustainable agriculture practices and ESG-aligned initiatives, they have restored the land’s value and deepened our connection to it. Through hands-on sugarcane farming experiences—including harvesting, land preparation, seedling separation, planting, sugarcane pressing, agricultural waste reuse, and green-plant workshops—participants gained a deeper understanding of the relationship between food and land. We learned the importance of sustainable circular agriculture, low-carbon farming, and eco-friendly cultivation. Enjoying a traditional farm meal prepared by local women further supported women’s economic empowerment, reduced food miles through seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, and promoted responsible and healthy dietary choices. Part of the event fees was donated to the community fund, supporting elder care, communal dining, and other initiatives that reinforce a positive community cycle. This activity contributed to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 15 (Life on Land), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). Through concrete action, we embodied the core values of sustainability and demonstrated the company’s firm commitment to ESG. We will continue to pay close attention to sustainability issues in the future.
- Cultural development:
The Company actively participates in cultural and artistic initiatives with the aim of promoting the overall development of the cultural industry. In 2025, the Company make an additional investment of NT$3.55 million to support events such as the A+ Love Music Festival and the Taiwan Yale Ensemble.
- (1)Support for the “A+ Love Music Festival”: In 2025, the theme ‘Happy to Know You’ aims to convey joy, diversity, and vitality through music. Only through genuine understanding can we recognize both our differences and similarities, which in turn fosters mutual appreciation and inclusiveness.
- (2)Support for the “Taiwan Yale Ensemble”: We aim to showcase the diverse sounds of string music and promote the richness of Taiwan’s contemporary and diverse musical landscape through musical performances.
- Investment in Green Energy:
To fulfill our commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development, the Company has actively invested in energy conservation, carbon reduction, and green energy initiatives. We have installed a solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation system on the rooftop of our Taoyuan warehouse, making effective use of idle rooftop space to develop renewable energy and demonstrating our commitment to a low-carbon transition.
The solar PV system has an installed capacity of 262 kWp (rooftop area of 373 ping) and generates an average of approximately 138,000 kWh of electricity annually, with a total investment of NT$11,424 thousand. Under current government policy, all generated green electricity is sold to the grid, creating stable renewable energy revenue while substantively supporting the development of renewable energy in Taiwan.
In addition to green energy investments, the Company continues to promote energy-saving measures and greenhouse gas management, gaining a clear understanding of our carbon emission structure as a basis for future carbon reduction and energy transition strategies.
Looking ahead, in line with policy developments and operational needs, the Company will evaluate the adoption of self-consumption models or other renewable energy investment approaches to increase the proportion of green electricity used, and to move steadily toward low-carbon operations and net-zero emissions.
