We take a long-term perspective in empowering students from disadvantaged backgrounds, committed to industry-academia collaboration and talent cultivation, with the hope of injecting new vitality into Taiwan’s societal resources.
Social Investment
In 2024, KGI Financial launched a new volunteer project titled "Regional Revitalization Changemakers" in collaboration with 17 high-quality local revitalization organizations across Taiwan, aiming to identify the challenges faced by these groups. Employees with relevant expertise are invited to join and form volunteer teams, engaging directly with local communities to understand their needs and co-creating solutions alongside the revitalization organizations. KGI Financial has also established a cross-group "Regional Revitalization Resource Matching Committee" as an integrated platform to respond to the needs of the revitalization organizations. The volunteers, demonstrating empathy and professionalism, assisted the revitalization groups in organizing finances, optimizing the business model for corporate collaboration, and connecting over 80 internal and external resources. By the end of 2024, the Group had contributed over 7,500 service hours and generated more than NT$2.4 million in revenue for the revitalization organizations.
