Corum is a company with deep roots in Taiwan, in order to give back to the community and fulfill our corporate social responsibilities, we have been monitoring social topics for a long time, consolidating our core knowledge and services with the group resources to engage in public welfare. We pay attention to the marine ecological environment and collaborate with local NPOs to support scientific education of underprivileged school children in remote townships in the hope of underpinning local community developments, advancing public welfare, and leading by example. We also intend to foster a sense of identity and cohesion among our employees and encourage them to engage in public welfare together in a bid to make society a better place. Our public welfare sustainability goals are:
Charitable book donation
As a local business in Chiayi, Corum launched the "Books Bring Hope- Love in Chiayi" social inclusion campaign in 2021, urging our employees to collect children's books that are being used at home and donate them to Xinchuan Used Bookstore Chiayi County Shuishang Branch, so that disadvantaged school children may borrow good books for free and acquire new knowledge, in turn, bridge the urban-rural education resource gap and engender a local ecosystem with common good qualities. In 2021, we collected 45 children's books and donated them to Xinchuan Used Bookstore Chiayi County Shuishang Branch for the benefit of school children in remote townships.

Beach cleanup activity
Taiwan is surrounded by the ocean and the marine ecological environment is an integral part of our lives. Since 2018, Corum has held the biennial corporate beach cleanup campaign in Q4 to remove waste and restore the ocean's pristine environment. In 2018, we called upon 25 employees to partake in the inaugural Stone Trench of Laomei Coast beach cleanup activity in New Taipei City, collecting more than 50kg of beach waste. In 2020, we held the beach cleanup activity and environmental protection lecture entitled "Relationship Between Environment, Life, and Health" at the beautiful Qianshuiwan in Sanzhi, New Taipei City in north Taiwan. A total of 19 employees participated in the event and contributed to environmental protection.
Neighborhood watch
Corum's Chiayi Factory has always maintained a good relationship with the local communi- ties. We proactively participate in neighborly and community watch activities. Whether it is a regional joint defense organization in the service area or a promotional meeting hosted by the service center, we will provide materials or send representatives to attend the activity. Further more, to show our appreciation for the local fire brigade and police station's enthusiasm for serving the communities, we will provide them with beverages or mineral water on behalf of the Company before the three major festivals to thank them for their hard work in keeping the community safe.
Earth Hour
In 2021, Corum continued to partake in the "Earth Hour 60t" campaign in a bid to evoke people's awareness of global warming and energy conservation. The World Wildlife Fund launched the inaugural Earth Hour 60 in March 2007 to demonstrate its support for climate action. Now, more than 18,000 landmarks throughout over 190 countries and regions support the international environmental protection movement. We continue to support the movement by taking action, turning off unnecessary lights for one hour at 20:30 on March 27, 2021, to protect the planet.
Starting in 2021, Corum has joined forces with the Xinchuan Used Bookstore in Chiayi to host the "Corum Art Promotion Award" and promote the concept of "combining science with art education" and cultivate students' interest in scientific reading and the art of painting, as well as inspire their creativity and observation. To this end, we invited art professionals to join our team to form an expert judging panel for the sake of elevating the fairness and credibility of the contest. We encourage underprivileged students from Xinchuan to study science and express their creativity, in turn cultivating their interest in pursuing knowledge. Additionally, we provide scholarships as an incentive, thereby contributing to the diverse developments of education in remote townships.
The theme of painting is combined with the most important contemporary social topics to set the theme of "Cleaning Operation During the Pandemic" for 2021. Students learn about the current pandemic situation and establish the right mindset for scientific pandemic prevention by viewing online science-themed films or reading science-related books. A total of 69 were received from 15 elementary schools, nine junior high schools, and three senior high schools in remote townships. We also hope that all participating students can "unleash their creativity and fall in love with science".
Give Back to Society and Talent Cultivation
To assist the unemployed or youths to understand the conditions of the industry and workplace, Corum has maintained good interaction with the Continuing Education Center of NTUST. For its numerous pre-employment training or industry elite classes, we will participate in the human resource pitch and match meeting held before the completion of different classes depending on time and feasibility. We dispatch our management executives to the meetings to share the prospects of the biotechnology industry and relevant job openings. Besides supporting the event wholeheartedly, we also provide detailed explanations and career guidance for diverse job-hunting inquiries on-site to fulfill our social responsibilities. In 2021, Corum dispatched one management executive to attend six classes.
