Rice Donation Event
Since 2015, Shin Kong Security has partnered with young farmers in Yilan to implement a contract farming initiative for organic rice. Each year, employees collectively donate and purchase organic white rice, which is then distributed to underprivileged rural families and older adults living alone across Taiwan. These long-standing organic rice donations have not only benefited many families and older adults but have also served as a tangible demonstration of SKS's ongoing commitment to social welfare while indirectly promoting the development of local agriculture in Yilan. To date, a total of 27,674 kilograms of organic rice have been donated, with accumulated charitable funds reaching NT$3,044,140. These donations have provided meaningful support to those in need while fostering the growth of local agriculture in Yilan. Additionally, to facilitate employee access to locally produced agricultural goods, SKS has established an internal e-commerce platform. This platform consolidates the Company's internal resources and aligns them with broader ESG initiatives, generating positive impact and fulfilling corporate social responsibility. Through these efforts, SKS demonstrates its dedication to sustainable development in Taiwan and strives to create a win–win scenario for both social welfare and agricultural sustainability.
"Sustainable Good Days × Reverse Carnival" : SKS Promotes Grandriders Traveling Thousand Miles Charity Event Sustainability and Public Welfare with Heart
Shin Kong Security rallied its partners to participate in volunteer services as a concrete expression of care and a way to extend the Company's influence in fulfilling its social responsibilities. Embracing a shared value approach, SKS collaborated with NGOs and NPOs—not only offering financial support, but also dedicating time and effort—to take part in the Reverse Carnival Market. Together with volunteers at the event, SKS supported initiatives from advocacy brands, sustainable eco-communities, and the Reverse Life Market, and watched as many sustainability concepts were actively put into practice. Despite giving up a weekend, it was a worthwhile experience! At the Taiwan Toy Library booth, volunteers accompanied children and helped with toy organization, endorsing the concept of second-hand donations and recycling. Participants could bring unwanted toys to exchange, and children were encouraged to dismantle old toys, sort them effectively, and understand the value of reuse. These activities helped instill in children the principles of sustainability and circular living.
Grandriders Traveling Thousand Miles Charity Event
For 7 consecutive years, SKS has supported the Go Grandriders, Traveling Thousands of Miles to Spread Love event organized by the Hondao Senior Citizen's Welfare Foundation. Represented by Grandpa Kuo Shen-Sen, the team of 30 riders—averaging 75 years in age—wore large stickers reading "I'm 100, Riding Around Taiwan" on their backs and enthusiastically chanted the slogan "2024 Grandriders Ride for Love," creating an energetic and inspiring atmosphere at the event. While riding, the Grandriders also served as goodwill ambassadors for the Hot Meal Program for Disadvantaged Elderly Living Alone, calling on the public care for older adults and raising awareness of nutrition issues among seniors. In addition to providing event funding, SKS also supported the initiative through its rice donation campaign, contributing organic white rice to help sustain the meal delivery program and address the dietary needs of disadvantaged older adults living alone.
New Learning Partners and Little Pen Pals Meet-and-Greet Event
Since 2017, the New Companion Relationships 2.0 – Big and Little Pen Pal Program has been a joint initiative of Shin Kong Security, the Andrew Charity Association, and the Boyo Social Welfare Foundation. Based on the concept of life mentorship, the program pairs Little Pen Pals from disadvantaged backgrounds with Big Pen Pals from various professional fields. Through letter exchanges, the program provides emotional support and encouragement while introducing children to diverse career paths. During the meet-up event, four guest speakers were invited to share insights about their professions. A senior associate manager from SKS emphasized that dedication and consistency transform routine work into craftsmanship. He shared his 40-year career motto, "Take initiative, be accountable," as a guiding principle worthy of learning. Chief Petty Officer Li from the Coast Guard encouraged children to dream big and bring those dreams to life, highlighting the importance of imagination. Marine conservationist Dr. Cheng introduced both conservation and restoration projects, showing how technology can deepen our understanding of the ocean. The climate expert, representing a field the children had never encountered before, sparked intense curiosity as the students eagerly asked questions. This meaningful initiative paves a bright path toward the future for rural children—nurturing dreams with love, support, and inspiration.
