Building a Happy Workplace: First Bank Partners with Mega Union to Launch an Employee Stock Ownership Trust
To encourage employees to develop long-term savings and financial planning habits, strengthen their sense of belonging to the Company, and enhance their financial security for retirement, Mega Union Technology Inc. signed an Employee Stock Ownership Trust Agreement with First Commercial Bank on August 20. Under the program, employees make monthly contributions, while the Company provides matching incentive contributions. These funds are used to purchase Company shares through a trust mechanism. The program not only motivates employees and the Company to work together toward stronger performance but also enables employees to begin planning early for their future financial needs.
Founded in 2004, Mega Union Technology Inc. has long been committed to attracting, developing, and retaining talent. Over the past three years, the Company’s annual salary increases have consistently exceeded the industry average, while nearly 20% of its pre-tax profits have been allocated to employee profit-sharing. With the vision of becoming the best water treatment systems and resource recovery company in Taiwan—and ultimately worldwide—Mega Union provides comprehensive localized solutions covering ultrapure water, wastewater reclamation, wastewater treatment, and resource recovery.
The Company continues to expand its services in system and equipment maintenance, consumables cleaning and regeneration and replacement, specialty chemical sales, and system operation and maintenance. Leveraging patented technologies, vertically integrated capabilities, and professional engineering expertise, Mega Union delivers comprehensive water resource system solutions to its customers. In addition to serving the high-tech industry, the Company participates in domestic water resource recovery projects, including reclaimed water plants and seawater desalination facilities. Internationally, Mega Union continues to develop its operations in China and Singapore and has also established a service presence in the United States to support the global capacity expansion of the high-tech industry. Through its global footprint, the Company is able to meet customers’ plant construction and service requirements while further enhancing its operational scale and competitiveness.
To provide employees with more diverse options for retirement financial planning, First Commercial Bank has taken the lead in the industry through system innovation, enabling corporate employee benefit trust programs to offer both an “Employee Stock Ownership Trust,” which invests in shares of the employer or its corporate group, and an “Employee Savings Trust,” which invests in domestic and overseas funds. Through regular fixed-amount investments, employees can diversify investment risks and accumulate retirement savings over the long term. First Commercial Bank has received the “Excellence Award – Employee Benefit Trust Innovation Award” under the Diversified Trust Innovation Awards for four consecutive editions.
To help its clients build employee-friendly and fulfilling workplaces, First Commercial Bank actively supports the government’s promotion of employee benefit trust programs and demonstrates its commitment to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) objectives. The Bank has partnered with numerous listed and OTC companies, small and medium-sized enterprises, schools, and other organizations across a diverse range of industries, including electronics, traditional manufacturing, services, transportation, and education. By helping organizations increase employees’ retirement savings and establish long-term employee incentive programs, First Commercial Bank provides comprehensive trust services and works alongside its clients to create friendly workplaces that benefit both employers and employees.
