Social Engagement

• Campaign Origin

Dedicated to promoting corporate sustainable development as a mission, we support and adhere to international labor and human rights standards, including the "United Nations Global Compact," the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights," the "UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights," the "OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises," and the "Social Responsibility International Standard," as well as the regulations of the countries where we operate. We treat all partners with dignity and respect, including all VIVOTEK employees, subsidiaries, business partners, suppliers, and contractors.

To contribute to enhancing school safety measures, VIVOTEK initiated an educational public service campaign in 2023. This marks the first time that VIVOTEK branched out into the field of education and expanded its reach to elementary schools by launching the safety sustainability campaign "Build a Safety Map, Protect the Children of Shuangxi Elementary School." As part of this campaign, VIVOTEK donated IP cameras to enhance the campus’ safety management equipment. Through the activity, we were able to impart safety knowledge to students and devise an environmental safety optimization plan for the school administration. With professionalism, enthusiasm, and teamwork, we strive to establish a safe and secure environment for all. VIVOTEK combines education with entertainment in its social participation efforts, fostering a unique approach to sustainable surveillance development.

Sustainability Campaign: Build a Safety Map, Protect the Children of Shuangxi Elementary School

• Campaign Content

Shuangxi Elementary in Taipei City is a well-resourced school on a hillside with numerous stairs to navigate its sloping terrain. Observing the potential for student accidents on campus, we developed a variety of interesting safety knowledge challenges to promote safety awareness. By utilizing games for learning, our surveillance team taught students how to securely move heavy objects and how to perform a “breakfall” to prevent injuries from accidental falls and take immediate safety precautions.

Aside from safety knowledge challenges, VIVOTEK also organized design thinking workshops to identify potential hazards on campus through field research and student interviews. Members from product, research and development, and marketing departments utilized their expertise in surveillance and created innovative and practical solutions. Designing the prototypes using available materials, we proposed a variety of original interactive devices to retain a safe environment for the students while maintaining the campus features of Shuangxi Elementary School. Furthermore, VIVOTEK transformed the safety knowledge from the challenges into practical A4-sized desk mats as safety tokens for all students, incorporating safety knowledge into their daily lives.

• Campaign Achievements

VIVOTEK maintains its distinctive approach to social participation, cultivating its own path towards sustainable surveillance.

Upholding its core value of Care, VIVOTEK organizes annual Safety Map sustainability initiatives. In the first year, we reached out to the community to help strengthen neighborhood security. In the second year, we provided An-con Mental Retardation Training Services Institution with solutions to address hidden hazards. In the third year, we created a safer campus environment for Shuangxi Elementary School. VIVOTEK has consistently advocated for social and environmental optimization initiatives over the past three years. We aim to cultivate a secure living space for all by prioritizing the establishment of a safe, resilient, and sustainable environment.

• Caring for Vulnerable Groups with Concrete Actions

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, VIVOTEK purchases mooncake gift sets and pomelos to distribute to three childcare institutions, adding warmth to the festive atmosphere for the children. The childcare institutions are Chung-yi Social Welfare Foundation's Zhongyi Childcare Center in Taipei City, Cathwel Service's Jonah House in New Taipei City, and Bethany Children's Home in Taipei City.

To cope with the hot summer temperatures, VIVOTEK also donated an air conditioner to Bethany Children's Home for their kitchen, so they can prepare delicious meals for the children in a more comfortable environment. Additionally, 420 chairs that were no longer used in the office, were donated to 17 social welfare organizations, including the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association (PWSA Taiwan), the Wenshan Harmony Home, the Jonah House in New Taipei City, the Taoyuan Psychiatric Center, the Bethany Children's Home in Taipei City, Taipei Love Neighbor Childcare Association, An-con Mental Retardation Training Services Institution, Renyou Sanatorium, Chia Huey Nursing Institution, Changchang Nursing Institution, Lungtan Education Institute, Pingjen Education and Nursing Institutions, Shin-Deng Home for the Disabled, Baiyang Nursing Home, Kangfu Intelligent Development Center, Pade Education and Nursing Institution, and Prader-Willi Syndrome Association (Station).

• Echoing Sustainability with Public Welfare Procurement

For its Company activities, VIVOTEK prefers refreshments made by Tribake. We choose this particular supplier because they reflect our values of social responsibility and environmental sustainability. Tribake provides an inclusive workplace that is friendly to the physically and mentally challenged and focuses on sustainable consumption practices by using sustainable ingredients such as EAST-certified eggs and grain flour made from local rice. Tribake has a simple packaging for its refreshments to avoid overpackaging and has replaced plastic bags with paper boxes. It also encourages its employees to bring their own reusable bottles to help protect the environment and effectively reduce waste.

• Implementing a Volunteer Leave Policy to Encourage Participation

To encourage employee participation in charitable activities, VIVOTEK has implemented a volunteer leave policy, embodying the company’s spirit of caring. Employees who participate in charitable events organized by the Company during holidays or social welfare activities organized by government-registered charitable organizations on regular days can be accumulated as volunteer leave hours. This allows employees to dedicate themselves to caring for others and contributing to society beyond their work responsibilities.
