"Innovative technology, enriching life" is the mission of GIGABYTE and the core spirit behind the establishment of the GIGABYTE Education Foundation and its commitment to social welfare. By promoting technology education, innovation, arts and culture, and supporting underprivileged groups, GIGABYTE embodies the concept of giving back to society. In terms of education, in addition to providing hardware resources to remote and underprivileged groups based on their needs, we also fully support cultural and artistic activities. This includes bringing art into communities and companies to cultivate the cultural literacy of all generations.
As part of the parent company GIGABYTE, we at Giga Computing also participate in social welfare activities organized by the GIGABYTE Education Foundation. We join forces with the parent group to contribute to society and actively participate in sustainable values.

Beach Cleanup for Co-prosperity of the Earth

GIGABYTE, our parent company, has consistently committed to beach cleanup activities, inviting group employees and business partners to contribute to a better planet. After Giga Computing became an independent entity in 2023, our employees joined these beach cleanups to make a positive impact on the environment. In 2023, under the leadership of GIGABYTE, Giga Computing participated in cleanups at Pig Nose Beach and the north bank of Daku River in Taoyuan. Across four events, a total of 5,082.90 kg of waste was removed.

 

Implementation of Arts and Cultural Activities

GIGABYTE believes that technology professionals also need to cultivate cultural and artistic literacy. Therefore, the first initiative promoted by the GIGABYTE Education Foundation is "Enriching Life - Arts and Culture Appreciation". The arts and cultural industry was significantly impacted by the pandemic, leading to generally subdued atmosphere in the sector. In 2023, as restrictions were officially lifted, the GIGABYTE Education Foundation adhered to the principle of directly supporting arts and cultural teams by purchasing tickets and encouraged the Group members to invite friends and family to engage in diverse cultural activities. By actively attending performances, the foundation aims to support Taiwanese art teams. As a member of the GIGABYTE, employees of Giga Computing are the direct beneficiaries. In addition to encouraging colleagues to attend cultural venues, the GIGABYTE Education Foundation also enhances the working environment with the Enriching Life Art Gallery and the Enriching Life Lectures. These initiatives not only promote and publicize Taiwanese art and cultural teams but also provide employees with additional leisure options, thereby shaping a corporate culture that blends technological innovation with cultural care. In 2023, a total of 28 events and 46 performances were supported, with 1,456 tickets purchased.

 

Workplace Family Education

To provide employees with rich family education knowledge, in 2023, GIGABYTE, in collaboration with its subsidiaries BYTE International Co., Ltd., Giga Computing, and its subsidiary, GIGAIPC, joined the "Family-friendly Enterprise Alliance". They organized various lectures and activities to bring family education resources into the workplace and created family-friendly events such as a fun fair, to enhance family harmony among employees. In 2023, Giga Computing organized 6 sessions of "Happiness Boost! Family Education Corporate Lectures", with a total of 241 participants. The topics included work-life balance, intimate relationships, and family caregiving. These lectures guided employees to explore areas beyond work and provided them with professional knowledge from counseling psychologists and experts in related fields, offering valuable resources for family care and life balance.

 

Digital Inclusion and Technology Education

"Computer Doctor" is a course introduced by the GIGABYTE Education Foundation in 2019. The course involves leading participants on a tour of the Group's subsidiary, BYTE International Co., Ltd., to introduce them to the circular economy in the IT industry. The course also includes store visits to make the information more tangible, changing participants' perceptions of electronic waste recycling and providing deeper insights into future technology trends and applications. In 2023, in addition to the regular course content, the GIGABYTE Education Foundation invited Giga Computing employees to introduce the latest/hottest topics of AI servers. This addition aimed to provide more enriched content and ensure that every participant in the course would gain valuable insights.
