Social Prosperity
WPG Holdings adheres to corporate value "Team, Integrity, Professionalism, and Effectiveness" (T.I.P.E.) when practicing corporate social responsibility, with long-term investment in industry interactions, industry-academia plan, and social participation in the hope of creating a virtuous cycle. Meanwhile, WPG Holdings is also concerned about environmental issues and participates in various green initiatives.

In terms of the green investment, in response to the Environmental Protection Administration’s diversified waste management plan, the separation technology is utilized to screen combustible waste from industrial waste. This combustible waste is then processed into Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) as a substitute for boiler fuel. This initiative aims to achieve waste reduction, decrease air pollution, promote sustainability, and develop a circular economy. In 2024, WPG Holdings participated in the capital increase of Yang Bao Enterprise Co., Ltd., investing an additional nearly NT$30 million, bringing the total cumulative investment to NT$205 million, continuing to support the industrial development of the SRF power generation plant. Yang Bao Enterprise is engaged in the “Waste-to-Energy” renewable energy conversion power plants, promoting the conversion of waste into SRF fuel and utilizing the generated heat for power generation. This investment aims to address the challenges of industrial waste management in Taiwan and expand the application of SRF fuel in the future. Apart from reducing carbon emissions and providing renewable energy generation, it also helps to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Yang Bao Enterprise Co., Ltd. expects that after the future Changbin and Taoyuan plant enters operations, the annual processing SRF capacity can reach 267,000 tons and the annual power generation capacity 129.6 million kWh, which is equivalent to 36,000 households’ electricity consumption and replaces about 125,000 tons of coal consumption.
