Facing a new era, business initiatives need to undertake increasing social responsibilities beyond pursuing pure economic interests. Traditionally, corporate social responsibility was mostly fulfilled by donation, with public welfare activities independent from business operations. Today, emerging concepts such as ESG, CSR and social enterprises offer a new approach to viewing business organizations.

Our intention for establishing this area is to encourage the young generation to utilize their creativity and business intuition to explore novel approaches for companies to strengthen social responsibility and exert positive influence on both society and corporations in the process.

The driving force of science and technology is to empower human development, social progress and harmonious coexistence of man and nature. Scientific breakthroughs continuously promote the advancement of human civilization.

We aim to promote the spirit of science without borders. With sustainable development in mind, our future scientists and engineers would further explore the harmonious relationship between humans, nature and society.

Amidst climate change crisis and other natural challenges, promoting social equality is one of the biggest global endeavors in the 21st century.

Environmental deterioration and resource depletion were the initial emphasis of sustainable development 50 years ago. However, as time goes by, another important sector has also become a central focus — the loss of cultural and historical relics. Sustainable development of culture is becoming an imminent issue.

This allows the world to better confront global challenges and reconstruct social stability.

Art and design have become an important way for people to communicate and express consensus, especially in a world with increasing conflict and friction. The implementation of the 17 SDGs requires the integration of culture, art and design thinking to gather the wisdom of all mankind and address vital issues.

To implement sustainable development and achieve balanced economic, social and environmental progress, it is necessary to explore and pursue a harmonious and unified relationship between human and nature.

Building a harmonious coexistence between humans and nature is a fundamental baseline for sustainable development.

As industrialization approaches a turning point, the massive amount of carbon footprint left by human development has become one of the biggest hazards to global sustainable development.

Cross-border and cross-cultural communication have become increasingly frequent in the globalized world.

Non-Sibi (not for self) and social responsibility is the essential spirit and ideology to construct a better future. Egoism may achieve short-term benefits, but only altruism can endure the test of time and generate long-term positive impact.

Young people in the new era should undertake extensive social responsibilities with an altruistic heart and broad vision. Instead of pursuing quick success and instant benefits, they should strive to do the right things to meet the challenges ahead.
