In response to the global waste reduction campaign, OSE joined hands with the Small Appliance Clinic and Cueiping Village to hold the "Repair Instead of Buying" event on October 26. This event invited colleagues, family members, and people from neighboring communities to participate, aiming to promote the concept of the circular economy and practice corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) actions.
The Southern Repair Alliance, committed to promoting repairs rather than discarding in southern Taiwan, introduced this cooperative event. Through community tours, the Southern Repair Alliance not only repairs objects but also repairs relationships between people. This event emphasizes reducing resource waste and establishing more responsible consumption behavior through maintenance, education, and community participation.
The event took place at the Cueiping Village community center on the day of the event. The Small Appliances Clinic recruited a number of volunteers and received a total of 19 small home appliances. 16 of the appliances underwent successful full repairs, 2 underwent partial repairs, and 1 remained unrepairable. In addition to providing professional home appliance repair services, the event also held circular economy lectures. Teacher Wu-Chiu Huang, convener of the Small Appliances Clinic, shared how to implement the concept of sustainability in daily life, while Teacher Shang-Wen Chung taught home appliance maintenance knowledge to help participants extend the life of home appliances and reduce unnecessary consumption and discarding.
OSE stated that the company will continue to promote similar activities in the future, integrate the concept of sustainability into corporate culture, and work with the community to create a low-carbon, waste-reducing, and environmentally friendly green life.
