Issues to Address
Disadvantaged rural areas have long faced the issue of “lack of professional manpower for repairs.” Despite government intervention, resource allocation is often delayed, unable to respond promptly to the needs of the disadvantaged. By leveraging Kedge Construction’s expertise in construction management, suitable contractors can be quickly identified, addressing the plight of disadvantaged families who are unable to improve their living conditions.
The project, which involves SROI (Social Return on Investment) evaluation, aims to measure social impact and develop effective actions to support disadvantaged groups. The project’s SROI value is 7.62, indicating significant social benefits.
This outcome not only reflects the positive social impact of the project but also provides a critical basis for future resource allocation and action strategies. Through continuous evaluation and improvement, we can more effectively assist those in need.
Our Actions
Since 2021, the ‘Repair and Recycle Program’ has gradually evolved into a ‘public welfare platform’ model. Kedge contacts cases with repair needs and collaborates with supply chains and social welfare groups to efficiently utilize resources, creating a collaborative repair and recycle platform.
Special Features
- Collaboration with the ‘Love Big Platform’ of the New Taipei City Social Affairs Bureau. The Love Big Platform plays a role in integrating resources, matching resources based on case needs, and assigning resources to the appropriate people.
- Cooperation with the Taiwan Happiness Charity Association, which assists in the vocational rehabilitation of homeless individuals. Kedge matches cases with simple repair needs and provides ‘Taiwan Occupational Safety Card’ courses to repair personnel, continuously providing job opportunities to team members for repairs.
- Through supplier meetings and newsletters, Kedge shared its philosophy with 24 proactive supporting companies.
