Sunon's founder, Mr. Hong Yin-Shu, was born in the countryside of Tainan during Taiwan's economically difficult times. Therefore, he understands the importance of cultivating local talents through business operations to help regional economic vitality and improve the quality of life of local residents, as well as understands the importance of emergency assistance and care for difficult corners of life. Sunon gives back to society through corporate power by "implementing localization of employment, assisting local education and culture, supporting the disadvantaged, and promoting positive thinking public welfare activities". In order to fulfill the responsibility of caring for local residents and disadvantaged groups in need of emergency assistance, Sunon has been quietly taking practical actions for many years, such as holding events to distribute emergency supplies, donating scholarships for poor students, caring for disadvantaged groups and families, sponsoring educational funds for educational institutions, blood donation activities, and promoting positive thinking, hoping to help those who are temporarily in difficulties, disadvantaged families, and children, so that they will not forever become a helpless group of socially disadvantaged. It is expected to bring social stability and a high-quality living environment by guiding people's hearts to face positively.
The "Sunon Charity Foundation" was established in 2007 with funds from Sunon's founder Mr. Hong Yin-Shu and his wife, with the purpose of encouraging care and helping the weak, actively promoting moral education and the spirit of positive thinking and actively facing difficulties, investing in social welfare and emergency assistance, and actively helping disadvantaged children and individual families in society to overcome difficulties, so that they will not forever become a helpless group of socially disadvantaged, guiding people's hearts to think positively and actively face challenges, and regaining the courage to start a new life.
Since 2011, the foundation has actively engaged with the public, with Mr. Hong and his wife personally leading the Company's internal Liao-Fan’s Four Lessons Happy Living Club partners to jointly hold the "Inspirational Care Activity", combining with various township offices to distribute emergency supplies, rice, auspicious money, and the book "Explanation and Summary of Liao-Fan’s Four Lessons" to those who are economically disadvantaged, marginalized households, and single-parent families. The foundation has gradually started to do good deeds and has deeply entered every corner of Taiwan that needs to be cared for. As the scale of the activity expands every year, the foundation's charity has now reached 20 townships in Taiwan. The number of households benefiting from the foundation's "Inspirational Care Activity" has accumulated to 12,115 (distribution of supplies: cash, rice, books "Explanation and Summary of Liao-Fan’s Four Lessons") from 2018 to 2024. Because of quietly doing good deeds and giving back to and caring for socially disadvantaged groups, this is the greatest original intention and expectation of the foundation's establishment.
