Sustainability
We believe in the powerful connection between our sustainable development efforts and the local community. We are dedicated to actively engaging in community initiatives that foster growth and enhance the well-being of those around us. By aligning our charitable efforts with global sustainability principles, we strive to create a positive impact and contribute to a brighter future for all.
Welhunt Group is deeply committed to fostering sustainable development in our local communities. We actively engage in various initiatives that support vulnerable groups, enhance education, and promote environmental protection. In 2023, we partnered with the Baishan Social Welfare Charity Foundation to provide essential services to disadvantaged families and supported nationwide sports initiatives through the Ministry of Education. Our efforts also include collaborations with academic institutions to educate students on forest carbon sequestration, contributing to climate action strategies.
With an investment in nonprofit organizations, we are dedicated to creating meaningful change and building a more inclusive and sustainable future for all. Additionally, our affiliated company in Cambodia has established a Chinese language school, offering free educational resources to the local community, further demonstrating our commitment to social responsibility.
Caring for Disadvantaged Groups
In 2023, the Baishan Social Welfare Charity Foundation, supported by Welhunt Group and various entrepreneurs, provided essential services to vulnerable families, including those with disabilities and serious illnesses.
This initiative primarily benefited families in Kaohsiung City and surrounding areas, helping them rebuild their lives and pursue better educational opportunities for their children.
The foundation identified needs through community leaders and direct requests, ensuring proper evaluation to prevent misuse of resources.
Recognizing the increasing demand for social services, Welhunt is transforming the Baishan Foundation into a national entity, enhancing its capacity to support disadvantaged youth.
With the hiring of professional social workers and expanded partnerships, the foundation will introduce new educational programs and emergency assistance services in 2024. Through these efforts, we aim to create meaningful change and improve the well-being of children and families across Asia Pacific.
Baishan’s Philosophy: Adolescence is a crucial period of transformation in life. The Foundation provides financial assistance, support, and care, hoping to be a guiding light during this critical phase of their growth.
Chinese Language School in Cambodia
In early 2023, Welhunt established a Chinese language school in Cambodia to provide free educational opportunities for local residents, addressing the growing need for Chinese language proficiency.
Recognizing transportation challenges that hindered children’s access to education, the school offers classes in three time slots, attracting 40 to 50 students from elementary to junior high school. As the program evolved, students were grouped by proficiency, and some even became junior instructors.
The curriculum emphasizes practical language skills and includes English courses, fostering a supportive community where children can socialize and build confidence.
This initiative not only enhances language abilities but also enriches the children’s lives, creating lasting friendships and positive experiences.
Welhunt is committed to continuing its efforts in providing quality education and community support, believing that these initiatives will lead to a brighter future for the entire community.
Through these educational programs, we aim to empower local children and contribute to the overall development of the region.
Industry-Academia Collaboration – Asia Pacific Forest Carbon Sequestration Research
Welhunt owns approximately 6.1 hectares of forest land in Neimen, Kaohsiung. In July 2022, the Group collaborated with experts from National Ilan University to conduct a carbon sequestration assessment, completing the research in March 2023.
This project utilized recognized carbon inventory methodologies to evaluate the forest’s carbon sequestration potential, contributing to climate action strategies. The collaboration provided students with practical experience in forest management, enhancing their understanding of its importance for businesses aiming for net-zero goals.
The research team established sample plots and collected aerial images using drones to create a 3D topographic model of the forest. They set up 15 sample plots on about 5 hectares, measuring various tree parameters to calculate biomass and carbon storage. The total estimated carbon dioxide storage for the area was calculated to be 358.77 metric tons.
An information dashboard visually presented survey results, making it easier to understand forest characteristics and carbon sequestration data. Welhunt acknowledges that ongoing forest management is essential for maximizing carbon storage potential and increasing opportunities for carbon credits.
Graduate Students Established Sample Plots and Conducted Ssampling and Surveys within Them.
