“Now the beach is cleaner, and I can play in the sand safely!” said a thrilled child participating in the Beach Cleanup event. For the fifth year in a row, GlobalWafers held its Beach Cleanup event at Longfeng Fishing Harbor in Zhunan. Employees from GlobalWafers’ Hsinchu and Zhunan plants, GlobalWafers Taisil Branch, as well as our parent company Sino-American Silicon Products joined the effort with their families, underscoring the company’s long-term commitment to environmental protection and giving back to society.
Increased Participation and Impact
The 2024 Beach Cleanup event achieved remarkable success, with 119 participants—30% more than last year. The cleanup area expanded by 5%, and the total weight of collected trash increased by 3%. Behind these achievements were the sweat and dedication of every participant who braved the scorching 32°C heat. Whether walking across sinking sand or climbing uneven tetrapods, everyone worked tirelessly and focused on collecting marine debris, striving to rejuvenate the beach.
Commitment to Environmental Conservation and Inspiring Actions
For years, GlobalWafers has actively adopted and maintained the coastline at Longfeng Fishing Harbor while promoting environmental protection initiatives. Through the Beach Cleanup event, GlobalWafers encourages employees to take practical steps toward environmental conservation. This year, special emphasis was placed on the importance of reducing plastic waste. Participants were asked to focus on collecting marine plastic debris, aiming to raise awareness about the need to reduce plastic and minimize waste. By sharing their unique experiences, participants can inspire their friends and family to take action and join efforts to protect the marine environment.
Taking Action for a Better Future
The Beach Cleanup event is not only an environmental action but also a profound connection with nature. As participants look back at the footprints they’ve left, they see a cleaner beach and feel a sense of accomplishment. In the future, GlobalWafers will continue to spearhead more environmental protection initiatives , leveraging its corporate influence to bring more positive impact to the society.
