This award also encourages all TSMC employees to propose brilliant ideas pertinent to the Company's , further inspiring employees to proactively explore opportunities for improvement within the premise of their respective duties. In addition, through sharing these ideas, the influence of the common good can be extended outside of TSMC. Within half a month since the award started accepting entries, we’ve received 785 proposals with a total participation of 25,883 employees contributing to the growing momentum of TSMC’s culture of sustainability.

We’ve got so many brilliant employees. We must find a way to motivate them and unleash their full potential.

Milestone of the 1st TSMC CSR AWARD

TSMC CSR AWARD is not a competition. It is an event for every TSMC employee to participate in and enjoy the process of discovering self-worth and forming a virtuous cycle.

- Lora Ho, Senior Vice President and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee Chairperson

In a survey, 100% of TSMC employees who participated in the event stated that through TSMC CSR AWARD, they realized that fulfilling CSR is not just a charity cause. More significantly, it is to exert influence through their expertise and contribute to society and the environment. 98% of the employees who participated in the event shared that through TSMC CSR AWARD, they found the sustainable value of their jobs. Hence, they are more inclined to proactively propose sustainable plans in their daily work and put the plans into action.

Exclusive Trophy Design for the TSMC CSR AWARD in Collaboration with Local Artists Using Waste Materials

To further promote the spirit of the common good, TSMC CSR AWARD collaborated with four local sculptors, Wang Biao, Lin Li-Jen, Yeh Chuan-Hsien, and Hung Wen-Chang to create an exclusive trophy. Themed the “Magnificent Transformation－The Regeneration Journey of Waste Copper Sulfate” based on green manufacturing, the trophy design embodies the sustainable efforts TSMC employees have dedicated to the realization of a circular economy. The sculptors took copper and cobalt bars regenerated from the liquid waste generated from the manufacturing process and turned them into a profoundly memorable trophy featuring strength, aesthetics, and the spirit of transformation and sustainability.
