About Social Contribution

 

Strategy of Corporate Citizenship and Philanthropy 

Chunghwa Telecom (CHT) is dedicated in assisting the future development of communities closely linked to CHT business as well as those located in the increasingly important emerging markets by leveraging CHT’s core competency and extensive distribution networks.  CHT’s ultimate goal is to assist the overall healthy development of the society.

Chunghwa Telecom has long held the belief of "taking from the community, and giving back to the community," not only because CHT is Taiwan's largest integrated telecom service provider, with service networks across Taiwan and neighboring islands, but also because of CHT’s keen responsibility for contributing to the society in general.  Over the years, CHT has continuously committed in leveraging its core information and communications technology (ICT) capability to create value for the society and to enhance customers’ living quality.

The Mission of Social Contribution:
Assist the education and learning of the future generations of remote communities and disadvantaged groups.
Provide digitization services and marketing assistances to foster long-term development of local industries of remote communities and disadvantaged groups.
Participate actively in the global disaster relief programs and help those in need to overcome the impacts in the aftermath of the disasters.
Provide necessary products and services required of the rapidly growing emerging markets by establishing collaborative partnerships with local enterprises or NPOs.

In 2009, leveraging CHT’s handicap-accessible network interface technology, CHT implemented the "Assisting the Visually-impaired in Telecommuting through ICT Program", which was subsequently promoted internationally through the ADOC 2.0 Project.  In addition, in 2008, CHT and Fu Jen Catholic University signed the memorandum of cooperation on after-school distance learning for school children in remote rural areas, and have since broadened its existing "Distance Learning for School Children in Remote Areas Project" accordingly.  Through this project, CHT seeks to utilize the excellence teaching talents from the Tamkang University to solve the after-school learning problem for children in remote areas, and to reduce the education gap between urban and rural school children.  This project also provides learning services for school children in disaster areas affected by the Typhoon Morakot in 2009.

CHT has divided its social contributions into five main areas:

  1. "Hardware Infrastructure" provides the foundation for modern day telecommunications.
  2. "Products/services Donations" enables ICT to fully express its value.
  3. "R&D and Innovation" focuses on providing convenience to the handicapped people.
  4. "Corporate Volunteering" enables employees to share their talents with the community.
  5. "Chunghwa Telecom Foundation" captures the pioneering opportunity in digital creation.
