The initiative aims to strengthen connections with local communities and foster a sustainable cycle of mutual support and growth.
CDIB Chairman Angelo Koo emphasized that companies have a duty to consistently support vulnerable groups and give back to society through public welfare initiatives. He stressed the principle that greater ability comes with greater responsibility, urging businesses to extend care to everyone in need. "Every act of charity reflects our pursuit and commitment to building a better life," he stated.

Finally, Angelo Koo stated that companies should leverage their influence to take practical actions to address issues in areas such as the environment, education, and health. He also called for more companies in Taiwan to adopt diverse approaches to promote the practice of social responsibility, injecting more positive energy into society.
