Social Investment
In 2023, KGI Financial expanded its implementation of the "Regional Revitalization Volunteer Tours". This program allowed colleagues to immerse themselves in local towns and provide volunteer services. In addition to collaborating with long-standing regional revitalization partners such as CAN Culture, Art and Nature, Plahan Symbiotic Community Hub, Happy Food, and Shuan Lian Pear Corporation, new partnerships were formed with Nantou Ren'ai Township's Nanfeng Community Development Association and Yilan Toucheng's Goldfish Cottage. In total, six regional revitalization teams were involved in promoting regional revitalization in northern, central, southern, and eastern Taiwan. Over 1,000 colleagues participated in these efforts. They accompanied nearly 150 disadvantaged children and assisted over 100 vulnerable elderly individuals. This not only enhanced the brand awareness and revenue of the collaborating regional revitalization teams, but also established a new model for corporate participation in local revitalization.
