Corporate Citizenship and Philanthropy Strategies

Chunghwa Telecom incorporated the “corporate citizenship and philanthropy” into the overall business plan. Prior to actions of corporate citizenship and philanthropy, the community benefits and business benefits potentially generated will be evaluated and set. Then, the contributions and results (SROI) of the corporate citizenship and philanthropy will be quantified for a proper allocation of social engagement resources to deepen the social engagement values and impacts.
