In today’s society, environmental protection has become a global issue that is crucial to our future and the lives of our next generation. Therefore, Nova Tech is committed to promoting environmental awareness and sustainable practices. In 2023, we have focused on issues such as supporting recycling, promoting environmental sustainability in schools, and maintaining the campus environment, etc. We aim to promote the concepts of environmental protection and sustainable development, and to convey the importance of environmental protection to the general public, encouraging them to take positive actions to practise energy-saving and waste-reduction lifestyles.
Recycling: Promoting Environmental Sustainability
| Rebirth Anthem : Second-hand Material Donation and Volunteer Service |
Nova Tech is concerned about the reuse of waste materials, and believes that through the donation of unused materials and charity sales, it can help extend the life of the items, reduce the production of waste materials, and thus reduce the impact on the environment, and at the same time, it can also raise the public’s social awareness and concern for the underprivileged, so as to enhance cohesion among the community.
The theme of Rebirth Anthem is ‘Recycling’. Participants can donate their personal or household unwanted items for charity sale with the youths of Youth at Risk Service Centre
(Catholic Hsinchu Diocese), so that the second-hand items can be ‘recycled’. This year, Nova Tech invited three suppliers to participate in the event, each sponsoring $10,000 in booth fees. On the day of the event, we arranged for Nova Tech staff to accompany the youth to perform and conduct the bazaar, with all proceeds from the bazaar going to the Youth at Risk Service Centre. In 2023, Nova Tech dispatched 16 volunteers, and they volunteered for a total of 64 hours.
Nova Tech has participated in the Youth Service Centre’s secondhand charity sale for five consecutive years, and supported the Rebirth Anthem charity sale with a booth sponsorship of NT$50,000 and 382 volunteer hours from 2019 to 2023.
Nova Tech upholds the spirit of community co-operation and co-creation, and has long been caring for the public welfare and supporting social welfare Organizations. Through material and financial donations, Nova Tech endeavours to give those in need a more stable life and opportunities for self-reliance, thus creating a harmonious and cohesive society.

| Spreading Love to Africa by Saving Lives with Used Shoes |
A group of passionate Taiwanese youths saw the hardship in Africa and chose to step onto the soil there to respond to the needs of the people there. Through the old shoes assistance, we are expanding our community programmes to bring about change in the remote villages of East Africa, hoping to move towards a future free of poverty.
In 2023, we organized our first ever in-house collection of second-hand goods in response to the Used Shoes for Life campaign, and in collaboration with our subsidiaries, we hope
that our colleagues would make a difference to the poorest East African villages by extending the life of their goods. In 2023, we collected 147 pairs of shoes and 460 pieces of spring/summer clothing, and put in 4 volunteers for a total of 36 hours, with a total sponsorship of NT$10,000. These items will bring warmth and help to those in need, while
making a valuable contribution to environmental sustainability.
School Promotion: Environmental Sustainability
Nova Tech partnered with the Hsinchu County Aboriginal-Hakka Mixed Choir to go into schools and communities to carry out educational and promotional activities on campus, aiming to convey the importance of environmental sustainability and environmental protection to teachers and students. It will enhance their knowledge and ability to save energy, reduce carbon emissions, and establish good recycling habits.
Through the event, we co-operated with the Aboriginal-Hakka Mixed Choir to demonstrate the importance of environmental protection to the public through music and performances, and to inspire people’s concern and action on environmental protection. At the same time, we organized seminars, workshops and other activities to provide correct knowledge and practical skills to help people understand how to practice energy saving, carbon reduction, and recycling in their daily lives, so that we can work together to create an environmentally friendly society.
Working with the Neighbourhood: Maintaining the Campus Environment
In 2023, Nova Tech partnered with our customers to participate in environmental clean-up activities of special schools, and actively participated in the environmental clean-up work of the community and special schools in New Taipei City to fulfil our commitment to environmental protection. We went to the campus together with our customers and worked with the teachers and students of the special school to inject care and love into their learning environment.
This activity not only made the campus cleaner, but also helped students feel the warmth of the community and understand the importance of protecting the environment. We are willing to work with our neighbors to contribute to the environment of the community, and take practical actions to protect the environment. We look forward to working together to create a better campus environment. In 2023, Nova Tech dispatched 18 volunteers, and they volunteered for a total of 33 hours.
