Gemtek Technology actively engages in social welfare initiatives. The company have been running the "i (Love) Charity Virtual Passport" stamp collection campaign for several years. This activity aims to encourage employees to actively participate in health promotion and charitable activities while competing for the title of "i (Love) Charity Ambassador."
Over the years, Gemtek has carried out a variety of social welfare initiatives, including charity sales, material donations, blood drives, and outreach programs supporting rural communities. Through these activities, the company fosters employee engagement, strengthens workplace cohesion, and encourages staff to channel their compassion into meaningful community contributions. Such efforts not only create a healthier and more vibrant workplace but also demonstrate Gemtek’s commitment to corporate social responsibility, while enhancing organizational solidarity and reinforcing the company’s brand image.
In 2024, a total of 1,387 participants took part in social welfare activities.
Supported Employment for Disadvantaged Communities
we launched a monthly initiative inviting various charitable organizations to host pop-up booths at Gemtek. Participating groups include the Syin-Lu Social Welfare Foundation, Down Syndrome Foundation, Tribake Sheltered Workshop, Eden Social Welfare Foundation, and many others. These events not only raise employee awareness of a wide range of social causes, but also offer meaningful support for stable employment opportunities for disadvantaged communities.
The company actively supports social welfare organizations such as the Syin-Lu Social Welfare Foundation and the Simply ICR Association by purchasing their charity products as event prizes, holiday gift boxes, and group food orders. In 2024, we deepened this commitment for the Mid-Autumn Festival by ordering 430 gift boxes from the Zhanyi Bakery Sheltered Workshop. These boxes were given to employees and clients as tokens of appreciation, with additional sets donated to underserved communities. The initiative not only helped ensure stable employment for the “Little Kangaroos,” but also extended care and warmth to families in need.
In 2024, we organized special massage events such as “Thank You Mom Day” and “Warmhearted Oppa Day,” inviting the Eden Social Welfare Foundation to provide professional massage services on-site. These events offered employees a chance to relax and unwind during the workday, while also supporting meaningful employment opportunities for visually impaired massage therapists. Moving forward, we remain committed to putting our values into action through continued social engagement and corporate responsibility.
Rural Community Support
Recognizing the disparity in resources between rural areas and major cities, Gemtek has long been dedicated to supporting schoolchildren in underserved communities. Over the years, the company has sought to provide essential resources wherever possible, contributing its efforts to help bridge the gap and extend meaningful care to those in need.
In 2024, Gemtek supported underprivileged students by donating essential educational resources to improve their learning environment. Items such as desks, chairs, projectors, 24-inch monitor with eye-care features, and printers were donated to the Harmony Home Foundation Taiwan in Kaohsiung, the Taiwan Christian Social Care Association, and Penghu Jibei Baptist Church.
We also extended our care to disadvantaged individuals and persons with disabilities by donating a wide range of daily necessities. These included dish dryers, large rice cookers, diapers, drying racks, trash bags, face masks, bath towels, floor scrubbing brushes, commercial mop sets, toilet paper, ear thermometers, rice, baby formula, peanut milk, frozen buns, dumplings, meatballs, UHT milk, blankets, toys, and tickets to Green World Ecological Farm. The donations were delivered to the An-Con Mental Retardation Training Services Institution, the Harmony Home Foundation Taiwan, the Garden of Mercy Foundation, the Ningyuan Nursing Home, the Chuhsin Organization, and the Little Sun Caring Association in Xiulin Township, Hualien.
Blood Donation Drives
To help ease the ongoing blood shortage and support the “One Blood Donation Can Save Lives” campaign, Gemtek encourages employees to participate in blood donation as a meaningful act of social responsibility.
In 2024, we held 3 on-site blood drives, with 173 employees donating a total of 237 bags, equivalent to 59,250 cc of blood.
Christmas Giving Campaign
For children, Christmas is one of the most joyful and eagerly anticipated times of the year.
To help spread that warmth and holiday cheer to children in remote communities, we prepared 150 practical and thoughtfully selected Christmas gifts, along with festive cookies handmade by our baking club. These gifts allowed the children to receive not only useful items but also enjoy sweet treats that added to the holiday spirit.
The donations were delivered to Penghu Jibei Baptist Church, the Harmony Home Foundation Taiwan in Kaohsiung, the Boyo Social Welfare Foundation’s Zhuoshui Center in Xinyi Township, Nantou, and the An-Con Mental Retardation Training Services Institution. Through these efforts, we were able to share love and holiday warmth with more children in under-resourced communities this Christmas season.
Charity Sports Events Participation
A total of 121 Gemtek employees recently participated in two major charity events: the Syin-Lu Social Welfare Foundation’s “Step Forward for a Better Day” walkathon and the Maria Social Welfare Foundation’s inaugural “Maria Angels Charity Run.”
Both events featured an inclusive environment with accessible race routes, allowing individuals with intellectual disabilities to participate barrier-free. From dedicated runners to supportive families and friends cheering from the sidelines, the events were uplifting and full of positive energy.
