Cultural Activities
Inspired by the recent societal focus on arts and culture and women’s empowerment, WNC initiated a sponsorship collaboration in 2023 with the Tabernacle Women’s Choir, an all-female choir. In the 2023 Taiwan-Japan Exchange concert, WNC invited musicians from Japan and Taiwan, and provided charity tickets for cancer patients and underprivileged families to enjoy the chorus. A total of 1,212 audience members attended the session in Taipei, including 12 voluntary participants from WNC.
WNC has invited the Tabernacle Women’s Choir to visit Tunan Elementary School in 2024. They wlll work with music teachers and focus on choral singing and music notation as the primary learning content.
Charity Fundraising
WNC is proactive in conducting charity fundraising and has organized internal donation campaigns and encouraged employee donations in response to major disasters or the special needs of colleagues and the community. Care, financial assistance, legal consultation, and/or funeral assistance are also provided for injured/seriously ill employees or for family members of employees who pass away. WNC also encourages employees to help those in need and to donate to charity. For example, instead of choosing to receive company gift certificates or gifts to mark Chinese New Year, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, employees may choose to donate an amount equal to the value of the company gift certificates or gifts to charity. The money donated is given to NTHU and NCKU university service clubs, as well Tunan Elementary School and Siang Bi Elementary School. In 2023, WNC and its employee donations totaled NT$1.621 million, of which NT$931,300 was raised by employees, which was a 22% increase compared to the previous year. Employee donations have reached over NT$9 million since 2009.
Charity Sales Events
The fifth day of each month is designated WNC Charity Day, and employees are encouraged to show their support by purchasing items from charity organizations. Each month, WNC’s Employee Relations Department invites a charitable organization to set up a stand and sell products at Taiwan sites. In 2023, WNC’s Taipei office joined the cause. In the same year 27 charity organizations (including social welfare organizations, social development organizations, and social enterprises) were invited to hold online sales for WNC employees. Revenue from the online sales totaled NT$452,000.
