In a heartwarming endeavor to give back to society and nurture our planet, Taiwan Excellence gathered an enthusiastic troop of over 100 volunteers for the much-anticipated Day of Giving project. This initiative is a shining beacon of their annual corporate social responsibility (CSR) mission, and this year’s focus was on two pivotal themes: environmental conservation and community empowerment. The volunteers embarked on a journey to master inventive techniques to breathe new life into waste, slashing pollution levels, conserving pristine water sources, and paving sustainable income pathways for local communities.
