SinoPac Holdings
SinoPac Store Power Up Project
SinoPac Holdings has long been committed to inclusive finance, reducing inequality, expanding access, and advancing community well-being. Co-funded by Bank SinoPac and SinoPac Securities, the SinoPac Foundation launched the Store Power-Up Project, designed to empower micro-enterprises as community hubs, helping them thrive as anchors of vitality and resilience, while amplifying well-being at the grassroots level. Each year, the Foundation invests NT$10 million in business consulting, digital storytelling, and cross-sector collaboration. Since 2022, it has supported 20 mission-driven stores. Among the stores in Cohort I, one achieved a Social Return on Investment (SROI) of 6.64:1, while in Cohort II, another store achieved an SROI of 4.77:1. The project aligns with 13 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and has garnered major honors, including the 2024 Taiwan Sustainability Action Award and the 2024 Asia Responsible Enterprise Awards. By transforming these stores into platforms for connection, care, and creativity, SinoPac is turning inclusive finance into shared prosperity, where every store becomes a spark for lasting change, illuminating communities across Taiwan.
