Chroma ATE holds sustainability dear and is always proactively investing in environmental concerns, social care, and good corporate governance. As the first company in Taoyuan, Taiwan, Chroma participated in Project Blue instigated by Business Today Magazine. At the beach cleanup on October 31st, a total of 496kg of marine debris was removed from Zhuwei Beach in Taoyuan. Any recyclable plastic bottles collected during this and future coastal cleanings with the project will be recycled into new slippers. Besides strengthening the circular economy, this project also helps restoring the big blue ocean to its natural clean state.

Over 150 Chroma employees came together as a team and volunteered for the beach cleanup. Many parents even took their children to engage and learn how environmental protection of the ocean can start from their daily lives. All along the shoreline, people joined hands and picked up waste. At the end of the day, the beach was cleared of litter, valuable lessons were learned, and relationships were strengthened.
