Conservation of Leopard Cats is the Responsibility for All

The Company has continuously conducted the monitoring of environmental protection during the construction phase of the Longgang Industrial Park in accordance with the environmental impact assessment commitments since March, 2003 without interruption. The monitoring is conducted across a broad range of ecosystems, covering terrestrial plants and animals, aquatic benthic organisms, and plankton, including both phytoplankton and zooplankton. In addition, after the addition of wind turbines in Longgang Industrial Park, new monitoring items such as the number of bird strikes and the flight altitude of migratory birds have been added as important references for the operation management of wind turbines and environmental protection measures.

With the development of human society, the number of leopard cats in Taiwan has dropped significantly. In 2028, the leopard cats were officially listed as Endangered Species by the Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan. The Miaoli County Council also passed the " Autonomous Ordinance for the Conservation of Leopard Cats in Miaoli County” on December 10, 2019 to strengthen the local conservation mechanism.

The Company’s Longgang Industrial Park is located in Houlong Township, the hotspot activity area for leopard cats. To avoid the impact of the development behavior on leopard cats, the Company started to install automatic infrared cameras in the Industrial Park to continuously track the activities of leopard cats and other wild animals around the clock to ensure that operations and human activities can avoid or reduce interference with foraging hotspots, contributing to conservation efforts. Monitoring results over the past seasons show that the diversity and evenness indices of various terrestrial animal species are stable, indicating that the overall ecological environment is still in good condition.

The monitoring data in 2025 show that, within the territory of the Protection & Conservation Land, in addition to leopard cats, the activity footprints of other protected animals such as civet cats and crab-eating mongooses were also recorded, indicating that the area possesses a relatively high degree of biodiversity. Moving forward, the Company will continue to carry out follow-up ecological monitoring to ensure that its operations and related human activities avoid or minimize disturbances to the foraging habitats and activity areas of leopard cats and other protected wildlife, thereby fulfilling its commitment to environmental protection and biodiversity conservation.

Community Participation

The Company attaches great important to the interaction with the residents in the neighborhood. We conduct regular environmental monitoring to let the stakeholders (community residents) understand that the environmental monitoring items meet the legal requirements. We invest in environmental protection and engage in good neighbor activities like community charity activities to reduce environmental safety risk of the neighbors, promote the interaction with the neighboring residents, and fulfill our corporate responsibility.

Tung Ho Steel Foundation

Tung Ho Steel has supported the cultural and artistic activities in Taiwan for a long time and established the Tung Ho Steel Foundation to enhance the cultural and artistic literacy of the public. Tung Ho Steel Foundation has worked on the improvement of the cultural and artistic literacy of people in Taiwan, cultivation of talents in art, promotion of art education, and development of cultural and creative industries, and organizes and sponsors various cultural and artistic events, and promotes the integration of the steel industry and culture since its establishment. We have actively organized the Artist Residency Program. We have invited artists to enter Miaoli Works for the creation of steel sculptures, which is one of the important cases of cooperation between enterprises and artists in Taiwan, and the works were also awarded the Best Creativity Award of the 10th Art & Business Awards by the Ministry of Culture. In 2022, the foundation launched the Alchemy Project – MELT (Metal Engineering Leading to Tectonics), and held a press conference to build a diversified platform for exchanges, facilitate cooperation in related industries, cultivate steel structure design talents, promote the application of steel structure buildings and contribute to social life applications to develop a new architectural vision.

In 2025, Tung Ho Steel contributed NT$6 million to sponsor the second Metal Engineering Leading to Tectonics Project organized by the Tung Ho Steel Foundation. The Foundation invited KHAA (Kuo+Huang and Associates) and Kuo Hsu Yuan Architects & Associates to collaborate on the steel structure installation, “As Above So Below”, which explores the diverse possibilities of steel in architectural practice. County government officials and other distinguished guests were invited to attend the launch event and offer their guidance. Following the event, guided tours were organized for local community members, schools at all educational levels, the Architects Association, the Structural Engineers Association, and other organizations, attracting more than 500 visitors.

Ho Chin Tui Foundation

Ho Chin Tui Foundation was established in 1975, and has been committed to rewarding young students excellent in conduct and learning as well as diligent students from disadvantaged families since its establishment. Due to the changes in the social environment later on, it was rare for students to discontinue their studies for poverty. Therefore, Ho Chin Tui Award was set up in 1991 to provide rewards to outstanding scholars who have been making long-tern efforts and significant contributions to the development of the industries and economy in Taiwan in four major fields, including basic science (mathematical physics and biology), material science, metallurgy and environmental protection. A new category in Sustainable Architecture has been added to reward outstanding contributors in related fields.

The Ho Chin Tui Foundation is dedicated to promoting academic research, encouraging emerging scholars, and supporting public welfare initiatives in education, culture, and academic pursuits. We hope to nurture talented people, encourage students to work hard, be willing to recommend talented people, and give back to society. The substantial rewards include the awarding of Medal of Honor and rewards of NTD 600,000. As of the end of 2025, there have been a cumulative of 191 winners of this award.

Project Donation

Tung Ho Steel not only is dedicated to the provision of high-quality products and services to our customers, but also participates in social welfare activities actively to fulfill its corporate responsibility. The Company participates in diverse public welfare activities, including educational sponsorship, academic awards, arts and humanities, major disaster relief and project donations. Among them, the establishment of Ho Chin Tui Foundation and the Tung Ho Steel Foundation have shown that with the academic development and culture & arts, it further demonstrates Tung Ho Steel’s spirit of dedication and contributions, and what is more, the strong commitment to grow together with this land. In 2025, Tung Ho Steel’s public welfare project donations amounted to NT$ 22.48 million and those for community development and good-neighbor sponsorships totaled NT$ 6.1 million.
