Acer Corporate Responsibility Report 2009
It’s Time for Community Involvement
Acer India
The Establishment of the CSR Club
Acer India established a CSR Club in early 2009 in hopes of
raising social and environmental awareness among its local
employees, making it a driving force and contributor behind
many CSR initiatives. To date a total of 35 Acer employees
from branches across India are on board as they work to
promote many initiatives, including "Acer's Green" that
inspires power and electricity conservation in the workplace,
the donation of secondhand/renewable resources, plus "Share
Your Space" and "Adopt a Plant." Among which, the "Share
Your Space" program aimed at encouraging employees
living in the same region, or along the same route, to begin
car pooling to cut back on gas consumption. On the other
hand, "Adopt a Plant" was held in keeping with the World
Environment Day (June 5th, 2009); about 50 saplings were
distributed to employees interested in caring for a tree.

Acer Singapore
Children's Day Charity Drive 2009
Acer Singapore joined forces in 2009 with the Rainbow Centre – an earlyintervention
education facility for children with special needs – to organize a
unique Children's Day celebration specifically for these youngsters. A fundraiser
was held within the company among Acer employees, while discussions took
place between the Acer staff and the school's faculty on items and articles
urgently needed by these children. Acer's staff volunteered their time after work
to package these articles into goodie bags. On Children's Day, Acer's volunteers
visited the school and had a blast with these children. Their efforts for the day
were more than paid off when they saw the winsome smiles on the faces of these
special "angels among us."
