CSRC values recycling and rebirth, guided by the vision of “Let Civilization and Nature Coexist” and the mission of “Energy Regeneration, Natural Symbiosis.” In addition to actively enhancing the benefits of a circular economy, we also focus on social feedback, ecological preservation, and issues related to cultural promotion. Through investments in these three areas, we aim to promote social welfare. The amount invested in 2023 totaled NT$3.87 million
CSRC adheres to corporate social responsibility, implements policies and commitments for social welfare through actions categorized as "Community Care" and "Education Care," actively promoting social well-being.
Community Care
CSRC expects to be a role model in the industry. In addition to minimizing environmental negative impact, we think more actively about engaging and communicating with the community to improve the local employment environment. Out of this, creating local jobs is an expression of action that actually connects with the local community. The Linyuan Advanced Plant and Maanshan Plant in Greater China, and the India region CCET and CCIPL plants, employ local staff at proportions of 82%, 96%, 57%, 84%. The Anshan Plant in Greater China and the CCC Ponca Plant in the United States, and the CCC Sunray plant recruit 100% local employees, reflecting CSRC’s commitment to retaining local talent and promoting local economic development.
Furthermore, CSRC supports community development activities and various charitable and emergency relief efforts, deepening neighborly relations and reinforcing community awareness of issues such as education, health, and public hygiene. Activities conducted by each plant in 2023 are listed as follows:
Education Care
Through the "Cement Academy" jointly promoted by the Taiwan Cement Group, CSRC has deeply cultivated schools located next to the Company's various carbon black plants over the long term. We are committed to nurturing the development of schoolchildren, promoting diversified horizons and enhancing their willingness to learn. We support community school education activities, providing academic tutoring for rural students to improve their various achievements and alleviate the financial burden on parents. In 2023, the Maanshan Plant in Greater China arranged after-school English and computer tutoring for 88 children at Fengqiao Elementary School, helping to improve their English listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, as well as their computer operation abilities. Additionally, we conducted home visits and care for 10 impoverished students to ensure timely provision of necessary assistance. The Linyuan Advanced Plant in Greater China provided tutoring activities for Kaohsiung Shanwei Elementary School and Zhongyun Junior High School.
CSRC also established Shimin Academy scholarships and provided funding for nutritious lunches for underprivileged students, alleviating the financial burden on disadvantaged families. In 2023, CSRC awarded scholarships, nutritious lunches and tutoring funds. A total of NT$420,000 was allocated to 331 individuals.
Environmental education activities to promote circular economy
CSRC is committed to promoting the circular economy and upholding social care and educational implementation, embedding the concept of environmental sustainability within education. In collaboration with Tamkang University Science Education Center, CSRC held a chemistry-themed science camp integrating circular economy knowledge. Through the use of a mobile laboratory, the carbon black "Jiji Bang" experiment was conducted. The experimental process involved a hand-drawn maze game to enhance learning effectiveness through engaging, hands-on activities. In 2023, the science camp experience activities toured 23 schools, involving 700 students in hands-on experiments. This allowed students to understand the circular economy and recognize the ubiquitous applications of carbon black materials in daily life. The science camp included workshops held at elementary schools in remote areas of Kaohsiung, inviting local elementary school students and providing transportation support and experimental opportunities. In addition to hosting the science camp with the Tamkang University Science Education Center, in 2023, a "Carbon Black Materials Awareness" training camp for junior high school teachers in the Kaohsiung area was also organized. This aimed to enhance the thematic content and richness of chemistry courses, hoping to increase students' interest in chemical applications and develop their potential and creativity.
