of products at all times. Any problems are
immediately reported to Acer headquarters upon
discovery, and improvements are immediately
incorporated into products already under
production. Every week we compile product

causes, consequences and solutions.

6.2 Social Welfare
6.2.1 Acer Foundation
Founded in July 1996, the Acer Foundation was
established through donations from personnel of
various departments throughout the company.
Acer Foundation's mission is threefold: research
and develop technology and management;
cultivate talents; and reward and promote
service.
Acer upholds the concept that “embracing
technology allows us to widen our horizons.”
Acer Foundation believes the key to working
together toward an international alliance of
wisdom requires a long period of cultivation,
drawing on the strengths of all disciplines to
develop scientic knowledge and train talented
professionals. Internally, through public welfare
and cultivation of talents, we aspire to help
society prosper, raise the standards of academic
research and accelerate the establishment of
Taiwan as a technology island. Externally,
we adopt a cosmopolitan view in hopes of
fostering international talents and strengthening
international cooperation and exchange to
promote global economic prosperity.
6.2.2 Acer Volunteers
Acer Volunteers Committee was established
in October 2004 for the purpose of giving
colleagues a channel to contribute their spare
time and energy to public welfare service. Apart
from providing opportunities for interaction
and friendship between colleagues from
different departments and backgrounds, Acer
Volunteers leads to new life experiences and
personal growth through volunteer activities
that give back to society and manifest corporate
responsibility.
Acer Volunteers now has nearly 130 members
who volunteer their knowledge. Activities
mainly revolve around Acer's core business and
involve setting up Internet service, computer
repair, software design, and providing assistance
to disadvantaged minority groups. Among the
numerous activities held by Acer Volunteers
since its establishment include donating
computer equipment to Taiwan's rural Pingtung
