Chugai Pharma Taiwan (CPT), as a subsidiary of Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., has been devoting to healthcare quality improvement and the Earth protection for 32 years. To cut carbon emission, curb global warming, and protect the coastline, “Treat 1 Patient, Grow 1 Tree” is the concrete action that CPT commits to take constantly.

2020 is the year of World Earth Day 50th anniversary. In reaction to the call on for raising 3 Billion acts of green worldwide, Taiwan carries out global mission with the goal of "Millions of acts of green." This year, CPT donated 1,000 tree planting funds to the Tse-Xin Organic Foundation. Also, on 11th April 2020, CPT held a tree planting family activity at Zhongjiao Bay, located in Jinshan Dist. New Taipei City in order to reduce air pollution reduction (SDGs#13 Climate Action), and support afforestation and soil and water conservation (SDGs#15 Life on land). “Through the adoption of tree planting activity, CPT aims to improve the quality of the air, store more water in the soil, slow down coastline retreat, and reduce the heat island effect,” said by Henry Chen, President of Chugai Pharma Taiwan.

On October 14, 2017, CPT sponsored ‘2017 AMEA Clean Beach Carnival’ held by National Museum of Marine Science and Technology (NMMST) and Asia Marine Educators Association (AMEA). CPT employees dedicated themselves to beach cleanup and raise awareness on caring for Earth and the ocean.

Alongside all initiatives above, CPT also took part in ‘Sidewalk Tree Adoption by Corporate’ activity, promoting by Taipei City Government. CPT showed concern about environmental protection by cooperating with a planting expert to evaluate soil condition, grow flowers and grasses, and furnish night light. It created a green landscape in Taipei City, boosted good moods for passengers, and increased pedestrian safety at night simultaneously.
