With the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and the nationwide level 3 alert in Taiwan, it's a daunting challenge for major businesses in the country. How do business owners and executives perceive this wave of the pandemic? Many companies have been vocal in expressing support for their employees and outlining their strategies to combat the virus. "Global Views Monthly" has compiled a series of declarations from business leaders, outlining post-pandemic industry trends.
Dear colleagues,
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, the world has been in turmoil, facing unprecedented challenges.
In May of this year, Taiwan's epidemic suddenly intensified, and we quickly entered level 3 epidemic prevention alert. This not only tests the people but also presents a significant challenge to all businesses.
During this challenging time of the pandemic, many factories and shops have been forced to close due to the virus's unstoppable spread. Public transportation has reduced services, the dining industry has shifted from dine-in to takeout, and people are forced to maintain social distancing. While logistics workers are busy, there are concerns about the virus. The overall atmosphere in society has become very low, with the economic consumption pattern completely reversed, and people's lifestyles have shifted from calm to anxiety.
During this difficult time, the Group would like to thank all executives and employees. Whether you are working on rotating shifts or commuting to work, your discipline and dedication have enabled the Group to operate smoothly. Here, the Group would also like to remind everyone to be careful, as you are all indispensable figures for the Group, and your health is the Group's greatest wealth!
As industrialists, we have not only made donations to organizations in need within our capabilities but also made every effort to support all our partners in business, allowing them to sprint without any worries. Because we know that the "real test" will come after the epidemic subsides but before the economy officially recovers.
During this period of rampant pandemic, the Group has not slackened or hesitated in investing in new areas of the circular economy. We have chosen to operate against the wind, fully investing and promoting, hoping to change people's stereotypical impression of plastics with the concept of the circular economy. No longer should plastics be seen more negatively than positively. We demonstrate our commitment to environmental issues that plastics manufacturers value and focus on. We strive to lighten the burden on the earth and reconnect green technology with every industry chain, making "circular economy" and "green technology" not just slogans but actions that we truly practice!
Last year, the Group invested over a billion yuan in new construction and equipment upgrades and expanded recruitment efforts. The purpose is to tell our colleagues that the company has not stopped its original plans because of the pandemic. We not only fully support our partners but also ensure that Group employees have no worries.
Finally, we want to thank all the employees of the Group for their willingness to cooperate and support any decisions made by the company during this severe epidemic. Although we cannot help society as effectively and directly as medical personnel, as long as we keep our promises, cooperate with epidemic prevention measures, and protect ourselves, even ordinary soldiers can achieve great results. Although there are still many unknown variables, we still have to face all challenges with optimism. This is a battle without end. Only by continuously adjusting our steps and coexisting with the virus do we have no other choice. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Group. The Group has no other thoughts, only hoping that all employees and their families are safe and healthy.
Taiwan, keep it up! World, keep it up!
Sincerely,
Fang Yuan Group
