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."
In 2024, a total of 275 employees took part in environmental protection activities.
Nature Valley Habitat Conservation
Gemtek paid its first visit to Nature Valley, Taiwan’s first environmental charitable trust site. Guided by experienced nature interpreters, participants gained valuable insights into the role of environmental trusts in ecological restoration and discovered the rich biodiversity of the surrounding foothill habitat. In support of National Mikania Vine Control Day, Gemtek volunteers also took part in efforts to remove Mikania vines (Mikania micrantha), an invasive plant species commonly known as the “mile-a-minute weed” or “green cancer” because of its aggressive spread and harmful impact on local ecosystems.
In just a few hours, the team successfully removed 77.8 kilograms of Mikania vines and 2.4 kilograms of general waste, helping the land begin to recover. Through hands-on conservation efforts, every piece of land protected and each plant restored stands as a testament to our shared commitment.
In 2024, a total of 50 volunteers came together to help preserve a thriving and unspoiled natural environment for future generations.
Wetland Restoration at Lianhua Temple
The Lianhua Temple Wetland once featured nutrient-poor but groundwater-rich soil, creating ideal conditions for the Indian sundew (Drosera indica), an insectivorous plant native to tropical regions around the world. However, as a result of human development and environmental changes, the wetland gradually dried out and became nutrient-enriched, causing a sharp decline in the population of this rare plant. Today, the Lianhua Temple Wetland is the only remaining natural habitat for Drosera indica on Taiwan’s main island. Without active conservation efforts, this species is at risk of disappearing from the region entirely.
Driven by a commitment to environmental responsibility, 7 Gemtek volunteers participated in a 2024 habitat restoration initiative organized by the Society of Wilderness. Some team members used weed trimmers to remove overgrown vegetation that threatened to encroach on the Indian sundew’s habitat. Others carefully pruned surrounding plants with scissors to increase sunlight exposure on the wetland floor. A few volunteers gathered fallen leaves and seeds in hopes of aiding future restoration efforts. This hands-on experience not only supported ecological conservation but also deepened our collective commitment to protecting the natural environment.
Embrace the Ocean, Join Hands for a Cleaner Shoreline
Gemtek demonstrated its commitment to marine conservation by organizing two beach cleanup events. The first event was held in response to the Water Resources Agency’s call to participate in International Coastal Cleanup Day, with volunteers clearing debris from the shoreline at Hongmao Port in Xinfeng, Hsinchu County. The second event took place at Crescent Beach, a new site adopted by Gemtek this year, where volunteers once again joined forces for a thorough cleanup.
A total of 82 volunteers participated across both events, collecting 71.25 kilograms of waste and helping to protect the ocean and promote a more sustainable future.
