Community Involvement
Acer Volunteer Teams have long encouraged our staff to get involved in charity service outside of work and to contribute their talents. Through volunteer activities, Acer nurtures the seeds of kindness in the hearts of our staff, helping them bloom by giving everyone the chance to contribute. Every employee of Acer enjoys two days of paid volunteer work each year.
Acer Volunteer Teams
Our volunteer teams have also created many opportunities to give back to the community through volunteer experiences, organizing a number of activities for both staff and their families to promote concepts of charity.
Each year we organize and hold a variety of charitable activities, including:
 | Helping Underprivileged ChildrenFor 14 years running, Acer has held an activity in which we collect Christmas gifts to be given to underprivileged children in Xizhi. Some of these children have been put in the care of the Social Welfare Department and the Taipei Orphan Welfare Foundation, and we invited our staff to offer up gifts at the end of the year to help light up these young people’s worlds at Christmas time and give them the courage to face the challenges ahead. |
 | Caring for the ElderlyIn cooperation with the Old Five Old Foundation , the Acer Volunteer Team has worked over the past 12 years to deliver piping hot meals to residents in communities in Xizhi, Shenkeng, and Shiding for Chinese New Year, helping solo elderly people and disadvantaged families who may have long suffered with nutritional or mobility issues with some warmth for the festive season. |

In 2022, we expanded the recycling category to include clothing and shoes, and 600 colleagues joined the drive. 75 computers, 168 cell phones, 120 kg of batteries, 76 kg of other electronic equipment, over 400 pieces of clothing, and over 200 pieces of shoes were successfully collected. The Acer volunteer team donated these materials to the Eden Foundation, the Taipei Orphan Welfare Foundation, the Step30 International Ministries and electronic waste recyclers, not only to increase employee participation in the company's Project Humanity, but also to help the disadvantaged groups and environmental protection. |
