Reusing Computer Resources to Promote Digital Equality
PChome is committed to making greater contributions to digital equality and social welfare, so that everyone can enjoy the convenience and opportunities brought by digitalization. In 2023, we donated more than a hundred old computers to multiple institutions, including Kangfu, Institute for the Blind of Taiwan, Angel Heart Family Welfare Foundation, TLOVEAA, Tobias Social Welfare Foundation and Green Miracle Public Welfare Service Association.
By donating these old computers to organizations in need, PChome aims to enhance digital literacy and facilitate better integration into the digital society for the recipients. PChome believes that repurposing these resources not only provides tangible support to the recipient organizations but also reflects our commitment to addressing the digital divide and fulfilling our corporate social responsibility.
PChome Works Together to Deliver Warmth to Turkey in One Day
PChome has long upheld a sense of responsibility and care for society, and this initiative is a testament to that commitment. At the beginning of 2023, a major earthquake struck the Turkey-Syria border region, resulting in numerous disaster victims facing severe hardships. PChome promptly launched the donation campaign ‘PChome Works Together to Deliver Warmth to Turkey in One Day,’ calling on employees to contribute. The campaign received widespread support, resulting in the collection of nearly 70 kg of supplies within a single day. These items, which included blankets, fur hats, down jackets, sleeping bags, thermos bottles, scarves, and gloves, were intended to provide warmth and demonstrate care and support for the victims. The collected supplies were delivered to the ‘Turkish Trade Office in Taipei,’ which facilitated their distribution to residents in the disasterstricken areas of Turkey. This effort aimed to assist the victims in overcoming their challenges and aid in the reconstruction of their homes.
Invitation to Donate
During the cold winter at the end of the year, we partnered with the Sunshine Social Welfare Foundation, an organization working with the ‘PChome Love Charity Platform’, and donated ten boxes of supplies, including alcohol, gloves, and masks, to ensure that both foundation staff and recipients can provide and receive services in a safe and clean environment. At the same time, we donated hundreds of pairs of PVC gloves to Taiwan Nursing Home Association, Chung Yi Social Welfare Foundation, Chensenmei Social Welfare Foundation, and Happyworks Foundation to provide personnel with the most comprehensive protection and care

Mr. Hung-Tze Jan, Chairman of PChome, has long been dedicated to social and cultural heritage, as well as fostering Taiwan’s artistic and cultural environment. Since 2020, we have partnered with the century-old ‘Central Bookstore’ in Taichung to co-organize the ‘Wednesday Reading Club.’ This initiative aims to recreate a reading-friendly atmosphere through a classic reading club format, reshaping the relationship between people and bookstores.
Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the reading club has continued to thrive. To date, four sessions have been held, totaling 107 meetings. Under the guidance of 16 writers, participants have explored 199 notable books and ancient poems, attracting a significant number of readers both online and offline, and receiving enthusiastic responses. The Reading Club has emerged as a prominent reading brand in Taiwan in recent years.
Chairman Hung-Tze Jan remarked, ‘We all benefited from reading in our youth, and I hope young people will not miss out.’ The goal is to foster a reading culture where reading is perceived as enjoyable and engaging. We are pleased to see that the influence of reading, inspired by a bookstore, continues to grow, perpetuating cultural enrichment for future generations.
