TDCC’s Blood Drive and Charity Sale Exhibit the Concept of Social Common Good
2022/12/23
Despite the easing conditions from COVID-19, blood inventory all over Taiwan remains low. In order to help improve blood reserves, TDCC held a blood drive on December 23, appealing to its employees and the community for the cause of altruism and seeking the common good.
TDCC has always been devoted to social charity and giving back to society, fulfilling its commitment to ESG and sustainable development, said Chairman Han-Chiang Chu. For 13 consecutive years, TDCC has held its blood drive and donated 10,000 bags of blood each time. The campaign has seen increased participation from staff members of nearby companies as well as people in the community -- over 200 bags of blood in one day. More than 2,000 people have partaken in TDCC's blood drives over the 13 years, with a total of 650,000cc's of blood collected. The accumulated worth of donated blood that TDCC has contributed has exceeded NT$10 million, and every year the Taipei Blood Center gives TDCC a Special Contribution Award for its long-term benevolent efforts.
To encourage TDCC employees to give blood, Chairman Chu personally visited every office floor in the company to promote the campaign, which coincided with Christmas Eve and was decorated accordingly. People at the blood drive wore Christmas costumes and prepared refreshments as a warm welcome for those who participated, giving them seasonal greetings.
Besides the blood drive, TDCC also held a charity sale, which saw active participation from TDCC's staff. Down Syndrome Foundation, Kanner Foundation of Taiwan, Taipei Autism Children Social Welfare Foundation, Victory Social Welfare Foundation, and Yu-Cheng Social Welfare Foundation were also invited to sell their goods at the charity sale. All proceeds of the charity sale and the funds raised will all go to the social welfare centers.
TDCC will continue to integrate more resources to realize local social concerns. The company expects that it will be more devoted to fulfilling the ideal of philanthropy, radiating warmth and kindness, and carrying out corporate social responsibilities to the fullest for the common good and prosperity.
