Founded in 2011, the Zhejiang Sunon Charity Foundation champions meaningful community impact through initiatives in public welfare, poverty relief, and disaster support. Driven by the entrepreneurial spirit of Zhejiang province, the foundation aligns Sunon’s growth with a strong sense of social responsibility, actively supporting communities in need with hands-on assistance and long-term resources.

By the end of 2023, the Sunon Charity Foundation had contributed 187 million CNY, launching over 330 initiatives that have positively impacted more than 250,000 people. In 2023 alone, our commitment resulted in 12.93 million CNY in donations across 22 new projects, extending support to an additional 20,000 individuals.

Education is a cornerstone of national development. Since its establishment, the Sunon Charity Foundation has supported education by helping build schools in remote areas and providing scholarships to underprivileged students at Zhejiang University and Zhejiang University of Technology. The Foundation has donated 100 million CNY to Westlake University and launched initiatives like “Sunshine Classrooms,” “Meal of Care,” and “Warm Dormitories.” Focused on “supporting education and nurturing talent,” the Foundation continues to expand its efforts to contribute to the nation’s talent development.

To promote the values of respect and care for the elderly, the Sunon Charity Foundation has initiated various programs to support senior citizens. This includes building
Sunon Elderly Homes in rural areas, ensuring that elderly residents have a comfortable place to live and enjoy their later years.

Sunon Technology actively fulfills its social responsibility by focusing on targeted poverty alleviation and participating in rural revitalization, extending a helping hand to underdeveloped regions and populations. From aiding impoverished mountain villages in poverty eradication and funding the construction of beautiful hometowns to assisting people in need, the Sunon Charity Foundation is committed to deep, detailed, and solid charitable work through industrial poverty alleviation.

In advancing sustainable development and environmental protection, Sunon Technology actively explores and applies ocean-recycled plastics to achieve the goals of carbon reduction. Innovatively, we use recycled materials such as fishing nets, ropes, and airbags to create the main components of our H5 chair frame. This approach prevents nearly 6.7 tons of plastic from entering the ecosystem each year (based on 2,000 H5 chairs annually), reducing carbon emissions by 76%. Additionally, the H5 chair weighs 12kg and features a design where the backrest can be folded by removing four screws, reducing packaging volume by 58% and facilitating easier transportation, thereby effectively cutting carbon emissions in the logistics process.

We actively implement environmentally friendly processes, such as using bio-based coatings, water-based UV coatings, honeycomb panel lamination, and low-VOC adhesives. These sustainable practices help reduce our reliance on non-renewable resources, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and mitigate the impact of climate change, contributing to our commitment to green and sustainable development.

Sunon Technology uses bio-based coatings in place of petroleum-based products, derived from sources like corn, seeds, and agricultural by-products, which reduces reliance on non-renewable fossil resources. In collaboration with Eco-Technology partner Covestro, we employ bio-based waterborne UV technology, tested successfully on Sunon’s state-of-the-art UV coating line at the Qiantang Manufacturing Base in Hangzhou. With approximately 35% bio-based content in the coating resin, this process effectively lowers carbon emissions throughout the lifecycle—from production to use and disposal.

At Sunon Technology, we prioritize employee development by integrating industry expertise with academic partnerships. Our talent cultivation strategy aligns with the needs of both the individual and the organization, supporting both short-term growth and long-term strategic goals. We have established a seven-tier talent management system that offers tailored training at every level. Additionally, during onboarding, each new hire is paired with a mentor who provides hands-on guidance, helping them navigate their roles through both observation and practical experience. This ensures a seamless and effective transition into their new position.

The company continuously enhances its employee training system by establishing the “Training and Learning Management Measures” and “Training Resource Management System”. A dedicated training dojo has been created, offering a blend of online and offline training methods. This initiative supports a diverse range of internal training programs and the development of an internal trainer team, while also facilitating external training to continually enhance employees’ skills.

We have established a Talent Development Center, featuring a 6,000 square meter training facility. This center includes an EMBA training classroom modeled after prestigious business schools like Harvard and CEIBS, capable of accommodating 1,000 people for training, dining, and lodging. Our goal is to combine practical training with theoretical education to cultivate more outstanding talent.

In 2023, Sunon Technology conducted various internal training programs focusing on policy learning, product installation, management skills, leadership development, and professional knowledge.

Training projects included “Product Installation Training”, “Sunon Seed Program Training”, “Gold Medal Interviewer Training”, and “Project Management Training”. In alignment with the company’s talent strategy and development needs, a high-quality internal trainer team was established. Regular “Train the Trainer” (TTT) sessions were conducted to enhance the course development and teaching skills of internal trainers, continually improving the training content. As of the end of the reporting period, the internal trainer team comprised a total of 190 members, with 34 being newly added in the current year.

In terms of external training, Sunon Technology invites professional instructors to conduct programs such as the “Program of Sunon Technology Pursuit of Light,” “Key Account Business Reception Training for Domestic Marketing Personnels,” and the “Wine Tasting Tour for International Marketing Personnels.” These initiatives aim to enhance employees’ product knowledge, business reception skills, and both soft and hard skills.

For 10 years, the Sunon Charity Foundation has organized the “Little Migratory Birds” summer camp for employees’ children, with an investment over CNY 4 million. This initiative has transformed over 10 classrooms and 1,500 square meters of activity space. In collaboration with student teaching teams from Zhejiang University and Zhejiang University of Technology, the summer camp has provided a warm, welcoming environment for over 1,700 children from more than 20 provinces, offering them a memorable and enjoyable summer experience.
