Connection between the public participation strategies and business operations and their performance

SKFH strives to fulfill its corporate social responsibility through its core functions by launching inclusive financial products such as micro-insurance, small-amount whole life Insurance, micro-loans, and fractional stock investments. In addition, the Company develops diverse digital financial services to provide access to financial products and services to families with disabilities and people living in remote areas. In our efforts to protect underprivileged children, we have found that economic disadvantages of families can affect the physical and mental health development and academic performance of children. Therefore, we are committed to providing educational support and companionship to these children, and to turn donations into tangible help through a circular economy approach. We hope to achieve a balance between caring for the underprivileged and protecting the environment.

Spreading Love for Reading Corner Project

Recognizing the resource shortage faced by schools in non-mountainous and non-urban areas, where access to knowledge for students is particularly challenging, SKFH aimed to bridge the urban-rural gap and bring students closer to financial services. In collaboration with the Sanfar Education Foundation, we organized library visits for elementary school children from five non-mountainous, non-urban schools in Tainan City. These visits aimed to familiarize the students with library resources and facilities, broaden their horizons, and ignite their interest in reading. We also arranged storytelling sessions on financial education themes and children's financial literacy courses to enrich the learning experiences. Moreover, we donated over a hundred children's picture books to the visited schools, enhancing their library resources and sowing the seeds of reading.

Little League Challenger, baseball tournament for children with disabilities

When it comes to sports for children with physical and mental disabilities, many people envision hospital or rehabilitation rooms filled with tears, pain, and hardship. However, we hope to help these children build confidence and increase opportunities for interaction with the outside world through participation in baseball activities. We believe that empathy is essential to accumulate more positive energy. Therefore, by matching corporate volunteers to participate in baseball training activities for children with disabilities and assisting them on the sidelines, we gradually familiarize ourselves with the children, build trust and friendship, and accompany them to participate in the annual competition. Together, we hope to raise awareness among the general public about people with disabilities, enabling them to face their lives with confidence and ultimately enhancing social cohesion.

Joining Hands to Share Love and Support Vulnerable Communities - Sharing the Joy of Mid-Autumn Festival

We collaborated with the Down Syndrome Foundation R.O.C. to organize the corporate volunteer event, "Joining Hands to Share Love and Support Vulnerable Communities - Sharing the Joy of Mid-Autumn Festival". This initiative allowed the foundation to address the manpower and cost needs for a large number of orders during the Mid-Autumn Festival, with the assistance of SKFH corporate volunteers. Each volunteer carefully participated in packaging, inspection, and quality control, making these Mid-Autumn gift boxes even more joyful and sweet. A total of 305 volunteers took part in supporting children with Down syndrome.

 

Sustainable Insurance Cornucopia Welfare Project - New Life for Old Clothes: Circulate Love

In 2023, through the "New Life for Old Clothes: Circulate Light” campaign, SKFH completed the first “project to enhance social safety net" in Taiwan that creates job opportunities and insurance coverage for economically disadvantaged individuals by recycling waste resources and upgrading them through fashion design. Breaking away from the conventional practice of directly donating money from insurance companies, we partnered with Syin-Lu Social Welfare Foundation and social enterprise Story Wear with an innovative business model, inviting the public to contribute to charity by recycling, donating clothes or money. This campaign creates job opportunities and skills training for economically disadvantaged individuals, and provides the most basic insurance coverage for vulnerable groups, so that vulnerable families will not fall into poverty instantly in the event of an accident, and enhance financial inclusion.
