The Energy-Saving and Safety Service Team Continues to Spread Love The members of UMC's Energy-Saving and Safety Service Team were initially composed of enthusiastic UMC employees with a professional background. Now, the team is formed by personnel from UMC’s subsidiaries, supply chains and suppliers, becoming an integrated platform for connecting multiple resources. The professional backgrounds from members of the team include water saving, power saving, air conditioning, lighting, plant construction, fire safety, etc., and the services offered by the team include energy-saving and safety consultation, technical consultation on energy and resources, engineering improvement, etc. In the future, it is hoped that more suppliers can be invited to bring their strength into full play, helping more disadvantaged social welfare groups that are in need.
