The COVID-19 pandemic has spread to numerous countries, causing major global impacts. With Eastern Group as a public welfare leader, President Gary Wang is also actively participating in a number of welfare activities in the spirit of helping others. In order to show respect to Chen Shih-Chung, Minister of Health and Welfare, and the frontline healthcare workers combating COVID-19, President Gary Wang has specially selected a range of Eastern Natural Beauty’s products to donate as pandemic prevention gifts. These include “Eastern Natural Beauty – STREMARK Moisturizing & Soothing High Performance Extract” and “Eastern Natural Beauty – Charming Cream”, with a total value of over NT$30 million, which will be donated to care for the hardworking healthcare workers. Gary Wang, president of Eastern Group, also visited the Tri-Service General Hospital in person on the 11th to express his care for the frontline healthcare workers. Director Tsai Chien-Sung of the Tri-Service General Hospital accepted the donation on behalf of the healthcare personnel, and presented a certificate of appreciation to express their heartfelt gratitude.

Gary Wang, president of Eastern Group, said that although the COVID-19 pandemic is gradually subsiding in Taiwan, we cannot relax in the face of the unknown during this pandemic. As healthcare workers are always on standby in the battle against the pandemic, the business sector should support the government’s pandemic prevention efforts and work together to protect Taiwan, providing love and care to the healthcare workers who are giving their all on the frontlines. Therefore, Eastern is fulfilling its corporate social responsibility by sharing high-quality products with the healthcare workers, so that they can also protect their skin which is covered by masks over extended periods of time while they are hard at work. The STREMARK Moisturizing & Soothing High Performance Extract and Charming Cream, donated on behalf of Eastern Natural Beauty, offers superior moisturizing and repair properties. The Eastern members rallied to show their care. When they purchase a 3-bottle set of “Eastern Natural Beauty – STREMARK Moisturizing & Soothing High Performance Extract”, Eastern Natural Beauty will donate one bottle to the frontline healthcare workers, which hopefully would not only care for their skin, but also warm their hearts.

Tsai Chien-Sung, director of the Tri-Service General Hospital, also pointed out that those who are under the greatest pressure in the COVID-19 pandemic are the frontline healthcare workers, especially the nurses who have to go in and out of the wards and change their outfit more frequently than the doctors. Because women’s skin is more vulnerable than men’s, the skincare products donated by Eastern Natural Beauty will undoubtedly be of great help to the nurses and also serve as encouragement to them. To have their hard work valued and affirmed by society in this manner during this period of time does not only bring practical protection, but also psychological significance on an even greater level. When taking care of patients, healthcare workers need to wear masks throughout the entire process, and they keep the mask on for at least 8 to 10 hours a day. Due to the prolonged contact with the skin, the mask can cause indentation, abrasions, and even eczema in severe cases, which will take time to recover. Therefore, Tsai Chien-Sung is particularly grateful for the gift of skincare products from Eastern Natural Beauty.

Gary Wang, president of Eastern Group, remains committed to the spirit of “Others are about business, we are about public welfare” and has provided long-term support to the disadvantaged in society. To lead by example, Eastern Group recently donated NT$300,000 to the St. Camillus Center for Intellectual Disability. The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the development of many industries. Eastern Group has actively responded to government policies and has devoted itself to public welfare and caring for local small farmers in the long term. Recently, Eastern Group purchased 2,500 boxes of Yanchao guavas (around 75,000 guavas) valued at NT$1,000,000 from the Council of Agriculture (COA) of the Executive Yuan, in order to deliver the highest-quality and most nutritious seasonal fruits to the frontline healthcare workers. Shiang Jeng-Chuan, director of the New Taipei City Hospital; Chang Cheng-Kuei, vice director of Shuang-Ho Hospital of the Ministry of Health and Welfare; and Lee Szu-Chih, vice director of Taipei Medical University Hospital attended the donation ceremony in person to thank Eastern Group for their act of kindness, as well as to accept the donation on behalf of all medical staff. Recently, Eastern Natural Beauty also donated 10,000 bottles of medical-grade skincare products, “STREMARK Moisturizing & Soothing High Performance Extract” and “Eastern Natural Beauty – Charming Cream”, worth over NT$30 million, and Chairman Kao Ching-chiu of the Taiwan Union of Nurses Association (TUNA) accepted the donation on behalf of all nursing professionals in Taiwan.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted various industries and affected millions of people’s livelihoods. The Eastern Group has been implementing continuous public welfare actions: we are helping small farmers, supporting healthcare, and continuing to care for every consumer, so that we can fulfill the corporate social responsibility of “giving back to society in return for the things that we take from society” and support each other. Eastern hopes to use practical actions to send love across Taiwan, and urges the public to not forget to care for one another and help each other through these difficult times.
