DEI
With Gamania’s attention to the DEI trend in recent years, the Group’s Human Resources Office has widely collected and converged relevant indicators to provide a workplace where employees develop high sense of identity. In comparison with previous years, people of Gen P, who joined the workforce after pandemic, assess the meaning and independence that a work provides in a more prudent manner. These diverse mindsets enable Gamania to constantly create a brand-new management system. From the perspective of “Dare to Challenge” without limits, we have provided superior benefits that are better than the peers in the industry to protect outstanding talents in all aspects.
Gamania’s total social welfare expenditure in 2023 reached NTD 22 million, mainly through sponsorship or donations; the resources were devoted to social issues that we concerned about, including medical care, animal friendliness, culture and creativity, and education-related organizations.
Since the relocation to the Neihu headquarters building in 2016, Gamania has joined the “Neihu Technology Park 1,000-person Blood Donation Campaign” organized by Taipei Neihu Technology Park Development Association, working with local communities and companies for common good and demonstrating employees’ passion for helping others. Since 2018, We has voluntarily arranged blood donation events. On the Gamania Festival, we called on employees to donate blood together with the surrounding neighborhoods in combination with the Company’s internal celebration activities to contribute to the medical capacity in Taipei City. At least 3 blood donation events are held every year, with the Corporate Communication Office as the responsible unit therefor. In 2023, 197 employees participated in blood donation; a total of 293 bags of blood were donated to the Taipei Blood Center. To encourage employees to donate blood for public welfare, we provide a meal voucher to them. In the future, we will devise even more incentives for social welfare to develop our employees’ habit of donating blood.
The Gamania Christmas Market has been held since 2017 to invite nearby companies as well as internal and external partners to promote their products. We have also arranged special activities in the “Gama Island” to create a festive atmosphere for Gamania employees and the community to celebrate and have fun together. This event has also become a regular annual event at Gamania; it is jointly organized by the Corporate Communication Office, the Internal Service Division, and the Gama Island. At the same time, we have organized a visit plan called “Open GAMA” to invite our partners in Neihu Technology Park or the family members of Gamania employees to learn more about Gamania Group’s aim for the common good in the community.
In 2023, 15 vendors were invited to the market, and there were live performances given by singers, hands-on experience activities hosted with local stores in Neihu, stage performances delivered by Gama Garden, etc. Coupled with the Christmas photo booth, the “Gamania Pet Day,” the “Flea Market” and the Gama Island activities, Gamania employees enjoyed a day full of Christmas atmosphere. As the Group emphasizes the spread of ESG values, we plan to invite relevant good partners in Neihu Technology Park and more public welfare units to join us in the future, such as providing meals made with smallholders’ friendly ingredients, arranging charitable sales with charitable units for the disadvantaged, holding fur baby adoption events, and launching awareness campaigns for therapy dogs. We will permanently extend the concept of ESG, and convey the “Gamania values” from all ESG aspects.
As a TPEx-listed company in the cultural and creative industry, Gamania not only promotes its own businesses, but also actively participates in related cultural and creative activities to facilitate the development of cultural industries in Taiwan and fulfill the corporate social responsibilities.

Since 2022, the Chinese Animation Comic Publishers Association and the Taiwan Creative Content Agency have jointly held the “Best IP Awards” to encourage original comics, animation works, and novels in Taiwan and to stimulate the IP ecosystem through activities. In 2023, two masterpieces supported by Gamania Group, “Rules are for Losers” and “EAT ZOMBIE GHOST,” became the biggest winners of the year by winning 3 awards under the event – the “Annual TOP IP Award,” “Popular IP Award” and “Animation Potential Award.”

Sticking to the core corporate spirit of “Dare to Challenge,” Gamania has supported local sports in Taiwan for years, including baseball, basketball, marathons, polar mountaineering, etc., taking concrete actions to help the sector of sports in Taiwan achieve social value.
In 2023, we sponsored the CPBL Gold Glove Award. For the past 3 years, we have continued to support local players and contribute to the grassroots. We have even worked with CPBL Charity Train to provide supplies for local children and convey our care and expectations for baseball in Taiwan.
