Overview of Public Welfare Activities

FEDS upholds the spirit of “taking from society and giving back to society,” and is committed to promoting various public welfare activities. We make good use of our channels and strengths throughout Taiwan to connect resources from all sectors of society, so that each operating location becomes a “public welfare platform” for its local community. We also encourage employees to engage in social participation, carrying forward the power of good, fulfilling our corporate commitment and care for society, and driving the creation of positive values in society.

FEDS promotes social welfare activities in 6 major ways, including sponsorship, monetary donations, material donations, fundraising, resource raising, and charity sales. In 2022, FEDS invested NT$2,400 thousand in public welfare, held 783 charity events, and received 155 certificates of appreciation. In the past five years, more than 2,647 events have been held. With the goal of public welfare in department stores every day, FEDS connects public resources with love to maximize the synergy of public welfare.

Response to Global Initiatives

The United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) announced 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, emphasizing the spirit of inclusion, and expecting the world to jointly create economic growth, environmental protection and social progress. As a corporate citizen, FEDS hopes to exert its influence to make changes in various aspects such as business activities, environmental protection and social development in a better direction. In 2022, all of FEDS's branches responded to the 8 international sustainability initiatives, including environmental protection, vulnerable groups, health and well-being, children's human rights and other diverse issues, to promote sustainability awareness to the public and create a better life.
