LITE-ON has long committed to community involvement with the goal of "giving back what is taken from society," especially given escalating problems in society. These problems include new immigrant integrating into society, upbringing of younger generation, shortage of life-long educational resources, lack of creative talent, and increasingly serious environmental and ecological issues. LITE-ON's efforts have focused on building a multi-cultural, caring, creative, and sustainable society. In order to achieve this social vision, the company has identified four critical missions: advancing cultural diversity in quality of humanism, promoting care of youth and children education and life-long learning, nurturing creative and professional talent, and developing sustainable product and environmentally friendly education. Accomplishment of the above missions depends on how we execute our concrete strategy. Some of the projects undertaken have included: a community assistance program, community college, LITE-ON Award, educational support, a corporate volunteer system, and sustainable product designs. The above strategies were executed mainly through the following actions:
- Volunteer training (for multi-culture and community volunteer programs)
- Implemented training/service/supervisory systems
- Care services for youth and children
- English and after-school teaching at remote elementary schools; after-school counseling for disadvantaged students; counseling for the physically/mentally disabled; environmental protection activities
- Adult education (including disabled and disadvantaged people); provision of life-long learning platform and green courses
- Encouraging creative technical designers and integrating into technology incubation programs in Taiwan
- Engaged world-class designers as juries for LITE-ON Award
- Industry-academia collaboration—combining theory and practice
- Corporate volunteer system
- Offered two days of volunteer leave per year for employees to get involved
- Development of clean, energy-saving, and healthcare-related equipment
- Assisted in the mass production of innovative designs, developed green products, adopted environmentally-friendly designs
- Planted trees and other ecological conservations.
Over 20,000 people were benefited from Liteon community engagement programs.
