Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs		Strategies and Practices of HSPB
SDG 1	No Poverty （1.4）	With the core value of Innovative Thinking and Innovative Service, HSPB conducts projects such as Science Park Emerging Technology Application Project, Booster Program for Commercialization of Biomedical Products and Precision Health Inter-Disciplinary Promotion Program, as well as Hsinchu Science Park Talent Hub to help young entrepreneurs in pursuing their dreams and has established Young Entrepreneur’s Studio and Yilan Entrepreneur’s Studio, which are exclusively tailored for young entrepreneurs.
SDG 3	Good Health and Well （3.d）	In order to provide health care to the employees of park manufacturers, 29 first aid training courses, 22 cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)/automated external defibrillator (AED) classes, 1 ultrasound examination, 14 eye pressure tests and vision examinations, as well as 81 other multi-faceted health promotion courses were held in 2022, which raise the employees' awareness of their own health and enable the staff clinic to contribute to health care of the park.
SDG 4	Quality Education （4.4）	Promote the Science Park Talent Cultivation Subsidy Program, providing NTD9 million and NTD8.783 million in 2021 and 2022 respectively, with 12 course programs subsidized each.
SDG 5	Gender Equality （5.1）	HSPB held 13 gender mainstreaming training sessions from 2021 to 2022, totaling 30 hours, with an average of 35 employees participating in each session.
SDG 6	Clean Water and Sanitation （6.3）	Implement water conservation measures: Replace old-fashioned water installations to improve water production rate, reclaim rainwater and air-conditioner condensate. Counseled 20 manufacturers on water conservation, potential water saving up to 597,000 metric tons. Industries with higher water consumption such as semiconductor and optoelectronics should achieve above 85% of water reclamation rate to conserve water resources.
SDG 7	Affordable and Clean Energy （7.1）	Proactively guide manufacturers to install renewable energy resources equipment. As of December 2022, the total capacity of solar photovoltaic (PV) system installed in the park's factories and public facilities achieved 45.48MW
SDG 8	Decent Work and Economic Growth （8.5）	HSPB is shaping the park to provide employment and cultivate high quality manpower, bring in investment and actively creates job opportunities. According to the statistics, by the end of 2022, there were 175,217 employees in the six parks of HSP and the number of employees in 2022 was 6.33% higher than that in 2021, which is a new record high.
SDG 9	Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure （9.5）	HSPB has consolidated the existing resources of the Project for Industry-Academia Collaboration on Innovative R&D in Science Parks and transformed to promote the Science Park Emerging Technology Application Project since 2021. With industrial demands as the guide, HSPB has initiated cross-industry collaborations while combining the strengths of academia and research institutes to jointly invest in the R&D of key technologies. In 2022, 14 grants were approved and 162 engineers were engaged in research, attracting NTD60 million of funding in R&D.
SDG 10	Reduced Inequalities （10.3）	Conducted Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW)-related courses and training satisfaction surveys, pre- and post-course assessments, with a 90% of participation rate. Provide a sex discrimination complaint mechanism, such as a complaint mailbox, and assign dedicated personnel to handle complaints in accordance with established procedures.
SDG 11	Sustainable Cities and Communities （11.3）	The dormitories are renovated according to their conditions and will continue to be maintained and managed properly in line with personal and quality needs, so as to improve the employees’ living environment. The amount of subsidies for local construction around the park from 2021 to 2022 was about NTD563 million.
SDG 12	Responsible Consumption and Production （12.5）	HSPB continues to actively promote waste recycling. The percentage of waste recycling in the park progressively increased from 87.61% in 2019 to 89.93% in 2022, exceeding Taiwan’s sustainable development target of 88% which shows that HSPB’s counseling is effective.
SDG 13	Climate Action （13.3）	HSPB collaborated with ASIP to establish Water, Power and Gas Supply Committee, which is responsible for compilation of information related to water, power and gas consumption as well as drafting of power-saving measures. Set up drought contingency advisory group, in order to conduct a response meeting that involves relevant units to discuss water shortage response measures and to coordinate water allocations in the occurrence of a drought. In response to the impacts of various disaster types, HSPB established a Disaster Relief and Recovery Response Team.
SDG 15	Life on Land （15.5）	HSPB promotes the designation of leopard cat corridor to minimize interference with the ecological environment of the original species and sets up 10 monitoring points to record their activities. The monitoring results showed low activity of leopard cats within park area and the leopard cat corridor provides a viable solution for the coexistence of corporate development and animal habitat.
SDG 16	Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions （16.6）	A total of 2,180 participants attended 2021-2022 Integrity Booth Anti-Corruption Campaign. With the aim to incorporate integrity education, student group visits are carried out with the collaboration between Civil Service Ethics Office and Science Park Exploration Museum. A total of 4 sessions on promoting campus integrity and anti-corruption for all were organized, with about 144 students participating.
SDG 17	Partnerships for the Goals （17.16）	HSP is currently a member of International Association of Science Parks and Areas of Innovation (IASP) and Asian Science Park Association (ASPA), communicating with science parks and manufacturers from various countries in order to promote and attract investment. Since 2018, Director-General of HSP, Wayne Wang, has taken over the chairmanship of ASPA. HSPB also raises the visibility of the park and its manufacturers through various activities such as exhibitions, visits and investment recruitments.
