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.
