TSMC first founded TSMC volunteer association in 2004,
where the vision has been to identify an area of need and then make long-term commitment. TSMC has been encouraging its employees to participate in volunteering that brings happiness and inspiration, giving back to our society through a series of actions. In 2017, the number of volunteers has exceeded 24,000. Determined to bring about further social changes by amalgamating TSMC's resources and the volunteering service of its employees, TSMC established TSMC Charity Foundation on June 14, 2017. With TSMC's corporate social responsibility policy and UN's sustainable development goals in mind, the chair of the board, Sophie Chang has set up four main initiatives: caring for the elderly, promoting filial piety, caring for the disadvantaged, and protecting the environment, which are all dedicated to making Taiwan a better place.
