Taoyuan Elementary School and Taoyuan community

Primax Taipei has always upheld the core principles of giving back to societyand practicing public welfare. Over the years, it has maintained a good relationship with Taoyuan Elementary School and Taoyuan Community in Yenping Township,Taitung County. In addition to sponsoring about NT$2.4 million per year by contract to support the KIST project of Taoyuan Elementary School, it also regularly provides community care and financial sponsorship regularly to pass on love to people inneed. We regularly provide care and financial sponsorship, spreading love to those inneed. For example, every year, Primax directly purchases a large quantity of organic pineapples from the Taoyuan community, ensuring that local farmers are not exploitedby other agricultural institutions. The purchased pineapples are then gifted to everyemployee at Primax. Additionally, we have established a friendly relationship withTaoyuan Elementary School and, during the 2022 graduation season, continued the previous year's practice of having Primax employees make handmade cloth dolls as graduation gifts. Each doll comes with a handwritten blessing card from members ofthe volunteer society, ensuring that Primax employees and the children of Taoyuan Elementary School may establish the bond as a result of the handmade cloth doll.

In 2023 , we hope that employees can better understand the issues and the community that the Company is concerned about. We arranged a three-day two-nighttrip for employees of the Taoyuan Community. By participating in the graduation ceremony of Taoyuan Elementary School, the employees personally witnessed theirown happiness when seeing their handmade dolls in the hands of the graduates and,therefore, they would more recognize the Company's dedication to the rural area education philosophy. Meanwhile, coupled with the DIY activity organized by the localsocial enterprise, Bra Valley, we may taste special agricultural products and indigenous delicacies of the tribe. Led by the local elders, we had a tribal tour to learn more about the Bunun culture and local history, while listening to the elders nurturing the children of the Bunun sang in their native language. Finally, in the virgin forest of LUANSHAN,we could experience the solemnity of nature and the symbiosis between the Bununand the mother nature.

Kids' Bookhouse, Taitung Zhiben

In as early as 2016 , we began to pay attention to education issues in Taitung and contacted the local Kids'Bookhouse, which offered after-school remedial classes and placement services. We provided the services including volunteers' assistance in local quinoa field farming and fixed subsidies to sponsor the organization of charity road runs, etc., hoping to enable Primax employees to maintain a special affection fro the Kids'Bookhouse through the continuous interaction. In 2021 , we officially signed a sponsorship contract with the Kids'Bookhouse to assist the bookstore with the development of businesses in thecommunity, including agriculture, construction classes, baking, and hand-brewed coffee, in the amount of NT$ 8.5 million over five years. As such, the communitycan form a positive cycle to take care of itself and create local employment opportunities, allowing parents to work in the local community and helpingyoung people to develop work skills.

Since execution of the regular sponsorship contract, the interaction between Kids'Bookstore and Primax has become closer. In 2022 , in response to a major annual event of the Bookhouse,“ Bookhouse Festival,” by setting up e-sports experience booths and designing interesting pass-through activities, we enabled the children to learn the e-sports career and types of occupation, as well as the most competitive main product of Primax, e-sports peripheral devices, so that children may have a correct concept toward the e-sports industry. In 2023 , wesupported the Bookhouse to organize the Thanksgiving concert in Taipei, inorder to encourage children to demonstrate and perform their music training generously and confidently. Meanwhile, we provided free tickets to employees to appreciate the children's hard work and then further endorse the Bookhouse's philosophy.

Regularly sponsor charity partners and set up aninternal employee donation platform.

Since 2016 , Primax Taipei has actively signed charity partnership contracts with social welfare organizations and makes regular donations to support their projects. By providing a stable source of funding, our charity partners can focus more on their services without worrying about financial shortages. Additionally, with the aim of increasing employee engagement and cohesion, Primax Taipei collaborates with charity partners each year to organize employee interactions and fundraising events. We also facilitate employee contributions through an internal salary donation platform, fostering a better understanding of our philanthropic goals and encouraging collective efforts.In 2023 , we designed the Angels and Stars and the sustainability market event, where donations from every employee can be converted into "Angel and Stars" points. The sustainable market is an event inviting the local social enterprise, Bra Valley, and the seniors from Hongdo Nangang Community to set up booths where the merchandise at the stalls can only be redeemed with Angel Stars. We encourage employees to use the salary donation platform to support these charity partners. Meanwhile, we also added the gashapon machines in the market activity. One gashapon may be obtained by each donation of NT$100. Each gashapon has 1- 5angel stars, which may help improve employees’ willingness to participate in the donation of fund. The Company subscribed for all products redeemed in the market activities in whole.Through this activity, we not only collect donations and the proceeds from public welfare products to effectively inject funds to public welfare partners, but also increase employees'willingness to donate and achieve the goal of increasing the number of public welfare partners.

Work together to organize various activities to improve the interaction among employees and raise the sense of identity.

In addition to financial sponsorship, we hope to have a connection with employees in our cooperation with public welfare partners.Therefore, we collaborate with all charity partners on the Employee Salary Donation Platform to organize various activities to improve the interaction between them and employees. In 2023 , Grass Book House in Sanxia was added to the platform. Therefore, starting from the beginning of the year, we have invited the founder of Grass Book House to the Company to share experience with us to enable the employees to have a good understanding of the concepts and measures of Grass Book House for caring for high-risk children and juvenile. Meanwhile,in response to the internal ESG themed season, we also worked withthe affiliated organizations of Grass Book House, such as KOUJI Cross Culture Restaurant and The Can, to organize Sanxia river cleaning and Double Ninth Festival day trip for the seniors. Meanwhile, in response to the thanksgiving season at the end of the year, a meaningful Christmas wish-raising project was arranged for the children in Grass Book Houseto think about what supplies they really needed and make a wish under the direction of their teachers. These wishes were turned into photo cards that were put in the Christmas wall at Primax's premises. Ouremployees played the role of Christmas angels to grant the children's wishes. Finally, we invited the children to write down or draw their thoughts on the gifts and thank them for the gift. In the thank-you card,all of them may feel the warmth of each other.

Taipei volunteers and Hongdao Senior Citizen's Welfare Foundation

In 2016 , Primax Taipei established the Volunteer Society to encourage employees to actively engage in volunteer activities by providing three days of paid volunteerleave. Due to the social issues of declining birthrates and an aging population inTaiwan, the average age of Primax's employees in Taipei is in the young- and middle-aged bracket and have senior parents and young children at home. Therefore, we pay attention to education issues and are committed to the care for the elderly, so we workwith the Hongdao Senior Citizen's Welfare Foundation for long term and hold regularcaring activities every year to direct employees' attention to the issue of elderly care.

In 2023 , we restarted the physical year-end shopping with warmth and companionship that had been suspended for two years due to the pandemic. Theseniors who participated in the purchases were all poor seniors who lived alone andmay have limited mobility. Primax volunteers picked them up from home to the mall,and donated a shopping deposit of NT$ 1,500 to each of them to buy daily or NewYear's necessities. This time, we also worked with Carrefour Neihu. After shopping, we enjoyed the delicious meals and fruits provided by the cooked food area of Carrefour in the lounge area of it. This allows employees to dine with the seniors and chat with them. Through the interaction, the employees may recall the old time they spent in getting along with their grandparents and also think about their lifestyle when they are old.

Meanwhile, during the Double Ninth Festival in September, we also organized the"Sanxia Cultural Parade One-day Tour" in cooperation with The Can, where the seniors were arranged to visit the most famous Sanxia Old Street and Sanxia Zushih Templeto experience the humanistic atmosphere in Sanxia. Afterwards, we were invited to experience local DIY indigo dyeing and taste additive-free soy and baked products from KOUJI Cross Culture Restaurant. The purpose of this event was not only to provide the opportunity for elderly individuals living alone to step out of their homes and socialize but also to let Primax employees understand the virtue of helping others and the importance of caring for society. Together, we aim to create an age-friendly society.
