Taiwan Sugar Corporation has long been
committed to cultural preservation, local co-creation, and sustainable
development. In 2025, it was honored with three awards at the 1st "ESG for
Culture Impact Awards" organized by the Ministry of Culture and Taiwan
Creative Content Agency, including the "Resource Assistance Award",
the "Industry Promotion Award", and the "Long-Term Partnership
Award". TSC was the company with the most awards among the state-owned
enterprises of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the year, demonstrating the
company's comprehensive achievements in cultural sustainability.
Among them, the "Resource Assistance
Award" recognizes the significant achievements of Taiwan Sugar Corporation
in the cultural content industry. In recent years, TSC has invested over
NT$16.77 million to promote eight projects with social and cultural impact,
including the Taisugar Carbon Sink Education Center, Cultural Trail at Yuemei
Sugar Factory, Hongyi Outdoor Art Exhibition, Suzuki Fujisaburo Special
Exhibition at Qiaotou Sugar Factory, Chiayi Candy Festival, public art
installations, Let’s Taisugar Trip Passport, and the "Owl Universe"
RPG reality puzzle game. These projects integrated education, art,
environmental protection, and local revitalization, revitalizing the cultural
assets of the sugar industry and demonstrating the company's commitment to
local communities and its specific actions in practicing ESG.
The "Industry Promotion Award"
recognizes the innovative achievements of the "Taisugar Carbon Sink
Education Center" at the Qiaotou Sugar Refinery. Since 1987, TSC has been
promoting afforestation on flat land, accumulating approximately 11,358
hectares to date. In response to the national net-zero policy, TSC transformed
the old space at the Qiaotou Sugar Refinery into an education center in 2024,
creating the public art piece "Carbon Beast'" using recycled wood.
Through picture books, interactive experiences, and DIY courses, the art guides
the public to understand carbon sinks and the circular economy from a cultural
perspective, attracting tens of thousands of visitors and successfully
combining cultural preservation, environmental education and industrial
benefits.
The winning of
these three awards this time demonstrates TSC's long-term achievements in
cultural ESG and showcases the influence that state-owned enterprises can exert
in cultural governance. In the future, TSC will continue to use sugar industry
culture as a bridge to work hand in hand with local and community cultural
industries.
