Not only does our U.S. branch utilize solar energy, but we also purchase renewable energy certificates for wind, solar, and hydro sources.

Valuing work-life balance, VIVOTEK considers employees as partners in sustainable growth, providing travel allowances, salary adjustments, and incentive schemes, fostering a friendly working environment. In 2022, we successfully conducted the second-year 'Safety Map' series of corporate sustainability events. Cross-departmental teams engaged communities with over three thousand residents, visited an education and nursing institution for individuals with disabilities aged 18 to 65, and explored campuses known for their wooded landscapes. During these activities, we offered professional safety advice and contributed by donating network cameras. This innovative corporate volunteer service redefines safety considerations, integrating the brand's caring spirit, using corporate expertise to enhance safety awareness, exerting social influence, and echoing UN SDGs.
