2022 Panasonic Taiwan’s Group Joint Beach Clean-up
Since 2010, Panasonic Taiwan has been encouraging our employees and their families to participate in ECORELAY tree planting and beach clean-up activities the Group organizes every year. In 2012, the Group adopted Wanli Xialiao Beach especially to commemorate its 50th anniversary. Since then at this beach an annual beach clean-up has been held. In the 2022 event, President Lin of Panasonic Taiwan, General Manager Tadashi Kayada of Panasonic AVC Networks Taiwan, General Manager Hironobu Mori of Panasonic Industrial Devices Materials Taiwan, and General Manager Hsiao Chih-Kuang of Panasonic Eco Solutions Electrical Construction Materials Taiwan personally led the team to clean the beach. Blown by autumn wind, the volunteers in windbreakers and light raincoats carried tongs and special trash bags in theirs gloved hands to pick up marine debris along the Xialiao coast. In addition to driftwood, items of marine debris collected included many indecomposable objects such as plastics, abandoned tires and buoys. The staff members who participated in the event said that it was especially meaningful to clean the beach with their families during holidays, and they were able to use this occasion to instill the ideas of ocean protection and environmental conservation in their children.
