Beach cleanup event“ Love Sea and Reduce Plastics, Good to Have you”

In order to clean up marine debris, Yulon Volunteer Club from time to time calls on volunteers to clean up beach together and encourages colleagues to bring their children to participate in the activity together to make everyone aware of the pollution and damages caused by inadvertent garbage in daily life to environment and marine ecology, and then consciously develop the good habit of reducing disposable products from an early age; A total of about 350 kg of marine debris was picked up in that day.

Building and donating the Green Lake Park

We have specially built a 24,192m2 waterfront ecological park. The Park is elegant and full of greens while featuring lake, water features, small river channels, trees, square, kids playground, etc. The Park was donated to New Taipei City Government as a public facility after completion. It has become the new green lungs of New Taipei City, which is capable of mitigating the urban heat island effect, digesting carbon dioxide, regulating urban climate and conserving soil and water, and becomes a friendly natural habitat for animals and plants. We hope to achieve common good with the environment and local residents, so in the future, we will continue to be a sponsor of the Green Lake Park to assist in park greening and maintenance.

Column- Promotion of the wooderful culture

Current status:

The woodcarving industry in Sanyi was once prosperous; however, due to the strong competition from the woodcarving products of other countries and the local aging industry, the woodcarving industry has been fading. Yulon Motor’s plant is located in Sanyi Township. We noticed the diminishing woodcarving industry and global warming nowadays while seeing a large amount of woods pruned regularly staked in the plant. Thus, we decided to develop a promotional plan for the wooderful culture centered on“ Woods.”

Plan content:

“Wood Carving Heritage. Sustainable Heritage.” Yulon Motor is closely connected to“ Woods” such as the forest behind the plant and the woodcarving industry nearby, so Yulon hopes to extend the life of woods by taking three major approaches: ecological conservation, woodcarving culture and sustainable innovation. By keeping trees growing, supporting the woodcarving culture, recycling and reusing the existing woods and adding value thereto, Yulon Motor co-exists with the local community. (Please refer to the Ecological Conservation, Sustainable Innovation of the Becoming Environment Friendly section, and the wooderful Culture of the“ Arts and Education” section for the three major approaches and performance thereof)

Short-, mid-, long-term plans

• 1.Ecological conservation

  1. Short-term

     Routine tree planting for carbon sequestration:

     Since 2007, we have systematically planted nearly 50,000 saplings in the Sanyi plant. We have also organized a series of ecological conservation activities at the back mountains, including building the water source, dredging underground culverts and making them the wildlife corridor, and cleaning the mile-aminute weed.

  2. Mid-term

     Expansion of conservation scope:

     We implement the plan to have the site be certified as an environmental education site and train internal employees to be qualified for environmental education; we promote the greening event in the subsidiary and provide it saplings to support the tree planting event; we keep expanding the scope of collaboration and working with Taiwan Reforestation Association to restore native tree species; we organize employee greening and gardening events, e.g. introduction to plant reproduction methods such as cutting, division and seedling.

  3. Long-term

     Sustainable tree planting model:

     The existing nursery can nurture around 5,000 saplings, and when the tree diameter of a sapling grows to 2–3cm within 1–2 years, we will transfer the sapling to the land of a subsidiary and thus expand the cooperation area in the subsidiary. In addition, we will find an environmental education experience camp and hold regular activities incorporated with the content of Yulon’s development in green energy technology.

• 2.Sustainable innovation

  1. Short-term

     Building a sustainable model:

     We donate the camphor branches pruned to woodcarvers in Sanyi and the Sanyi Wood-carving festival hosted by Taiwan Woodcarving Association.

  2. Mid-term

     Expanding cooperation scale:

     We donate the shredded woods to units with needs as bedding and pave the remaining wood chips in forest as humus of subsoil to increase insect diversity and provide the food source for animals.

  3. Long-term

     Developing sustainability scope:

     We collaborate with the woodcarving departments of universities to donate woods for carving practice.

• 3.Woodcarving culture

  1. Short-term

     Short-term“ Regular talent development”

     We continue to support woodcarving clubs, organize experience camp for the inheritance of wood carving arts and culture and train new woodcarving talents.

  2. Mid-term

     Enhancing employee recognition:

     We partner with the awardees of the“ Yulon Wood Carving Innovation Award” and the“ Yulon Wood Carving Heritage Award” as well as the Woodcarving Museum in international woodcarving competitions, and initiate the cultural inheritance course in the Group allowing employees to experience woodcarving art.

  3. Long-term

     Improving the industry:

     We will promote the concept of occupational injury prevention in the hope of cultivating woodcarvers’ awareness of safety and protection and effectively averting and reducing occupational injuries.
