Supporting Social Welfare Organizations.
Formosa Laboratories organizes charity bazaars and charity group buys to raise donations or sponsors and donates to social welfare activities and events every year. In 2023, we not only continued to take part in the “Helping the Elderly in Cold Winter” charity bazaar event organized by Hondao Senior Citizen's Welfare Foundation, but also hosted two movie appreciation events, aimed at supporting local Taiwanese movies and rewarding our employees for their hard work. In one of these movie appreciation events, we invited families of children with Down syndrome from the Taoyuan Parents of Children with Down Syndrome Association to watch a movie together, with the intention of encouraging society to see minority groups in a new light while advocating care, acceptance, growth and learning.

Calling for Blood Donation to Help People in Need
Donating blood is not only a kind act of showing love, helping each other and saving lives, but also an important pillar for many people to extend their lives.
Donating blood regularly can not only promote metabolism and ensure smoother blood flow, but also help others. Hence, it is an act that fosters health and create a win-win situation.
With our long-standing commitment to the belief that “donating a bag of blood helps save a life,” we at Formosa Laboratories organize two blood donation drives each year, aimed at calling on our employees to donate blood and love in the spirit of mutual help.
We encourage our employees to roll up their sleeves and donate blood, with a view to meeting demand for blood used for medical purposes and making preparations for critical moments while injecting greater positive energy into society.
