ESG Plans and Goals | Sustainability | Taiwan Blood Services Foundation ESG

Blood donor health management is as follows:

• To safeguard donor health, the Foundation has produced a series of health education cards and videos addressing common donor reactions before, during, and after blood donation. These materials are used to educate donors. If a donor experiences an adverse reaction during donation, appropriate medical treatment is provided immediately and, depending on individual needs, the donor may be referred for medical care. If a donor experiences discomfort after leaving the donation site, they can immediately call the notification hotline of each blood center listed on the health education card for assistance. The Foundation also continues to follow up and care for donors to ensure good recovery.
• Starting in 2024, for donors aged 35 and above who have continued to donate repeatedly within the past two years, the Foundation provides one test every three years for three items: total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). At the same time, body mass index (BMI) is provided in the donor test report for reference, allowing donors to conduct self-checks, avoid chronic diseases arising from obesity and the “three highs,” and better manage their own health.
• The “Abdominal Ultrasound Examination Project for High-Frequency Blood Donors” has expanded its eligible recipients. Starting in 2024, the age threshold has been lowered from 40 to 35 and above. In consideration of differences in blood donation volume between men and women, the threshold for female whole blood donors has been lowered from 100 units to 70 units or more, while the threshold remains 100 units or more for male whole blood donors and 500 units or more for apheresis donors.
• To promote donor self-health care, the Foundation uses its official LINE account to push various health education videos and promotional materials, reminding donors of care instructions before and after donation, and sending post-donation care messages to first-time donors.
• Medical and nursing colleagues strictly implement standard operating procedures (SOPs) for blood collection to maintain blood quality, and strengthen needle insertion technique training to reduce discomfort such as hematoma and bruising caused by blood donation.
• All blood donation operation sites are covered by public accident insurance, providing donors with better protection in the event of an accident at the donation site.
• The Foundation cares for senior donors aged 65 to 70 who continue to donate blood, and organizes appreciation gatherings for senior blood donors.

Blood recipient safety management is as follows:

• The Foundation has promoted the establishment of a voluntary non-remunerated blood donation system. Upholding the principle of fairness, regardless of wealth or poverty, it ensures an adequate supply of blood for medical use and saves lives.
• In 2019, the Foundation officially introduced the concept of Patient Blood Management (PBM), inviting physicians from various specialties to compile and revise the original Essentials of Blood Components manual. In June 2020, the manual was officially published and renamed the Lean Transfusion Manual. It was distributed to medical institutions and received many comments and suggestions from the medical community. In 2022, the second edition was updated and issued again, with the expectation that the manual will promote the implementation of patient blood management and respond to potential concerns about future blood shortages in healthcare.
• The Foundation continues to conduct research on the application and development of molecular biology in blood banking, using the advantages of blood group genotyping to assist in determining difficult blood types and support clinical care. Related results have been published in international journals and received recognition.
• The Foundation has established a domestic rare blood type registry to supply hospitals and support the international rare blood donor system.
• To improve transfusion quality for patients and reduce the risk of transfusion reactions, prestorage leukocyte-reduced packed red blood cells have been fully supplied since August 2021 to enhance patient welfare in blood use.
• The Foundation implements preventive measures for transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), with male plasma prioritized for the supply of plasma for medical use.
• When hospital patients require special blood products, matched blood products are provided according to existing inventory or the registered donor database, achieving the goal of precision medicine.
• The Foundation provides proactive and real-time blood delivery services. In addition to delivering blood promptly during major accidents, such as the 2018 Hualien earthquake disaster, the Puyuma Express derailment near Xinma Station in Su’ao Township on the Taiwan Railways Yilan Line, and the 2021 Taroko Express derailment on the North-Link Line, to the blood donation stations responsible for the accident locations to ensure uninterrupted blood supply, the Foundation also delivers blood to the offshore islands of Kinmen and Matsu to ensure that all who need blood have access to it and receive timely medical assistance.
• The Foundation provides high-quality, internationally compliant, and affordable plasma-derived medicinal products such as albumin, immunoglobulin, factor VIII, and factor IX, as well as various blood products including red blood cells, platelets, and plasma. This enables the people of Taiwan to obtain safe, effective, high-quality, and affordable medicines and blood products, free from concerns about illness.
• To supply safe blood for medical use, the Foundation performs relevant testing on donated blood. In addition to ABO and Rh blood typing, testing includes pathogen serological and immunological viral tests (HBsAg, Anti-HCV, HIV Ag/Ab combo, Anti-HTLV), viral nucleic acid testing (HIV, HBV, HCV), biochemical testing (ALT), and syphilis serological testing (specific and non-specific tests), in order to prevent transfusion-transmitted infectious diseases.
• To shorten the window period of viral testing for blood and improve testing sensitivity, since 2013 the Foundation has fully introduced NAT testing for blood for medical use. Together with existing viral serological testing, two testing methods are used simultaneously for HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C (HIV, HBV, and HCV), providing dual safeguards. Since 2013, no cases of HIV, HCV, or HBV infection through transfusion have been found, greatly improving the safety of blood use.
• To meet the demand for blood for medical use and improve transfusion quality for the people of Taiwan, the Foundation established three blood consultation laboratories in 2009 to assist medical institutions in handling blood-use-related issues.
• The Foundation strictly implements blood quality management and risk control, following the latest Donor Health Standards issued by the Ministry of Health and Welfare on July 2, 2025, under Wei-Shou-Shi Order No. 1141414229, and optimizes various donor screening and deferral mechanisms. If donated blood is found through testing, component manufacturing, or post-donation information provided through a donor’s good-faith callback to potentially affect transfusion safety, the Foundation’s physicians will make a determination and promptly intercept, isolate, recall, and destroy blood products unsuitable for medical transfusion, ensuring patient blood safety.
• To strengthen blood testing and implement blood safety, a BSL-2 negative-pressure laboratory was established in 2020 to monitor emerging infectious pathogens. It was approved by the Central Epidemic Command Center as a designated COVID-19 testing institution. In 2023, it was approved by the Centers for Disease Control as a recognized dengue virus testing institution, and in the same year received the SNQ National Quality Mark (Certificate No. S040016), ensuring transfusion safety.
• Through the “Real-Time Blood Donation Progress Monitoring Dashboard” and the “Blood Supply Information and Delivery Tracking Dashboard,” the Foundation precisely regulates daily blood supply and demand and inventory levels, ensuring blood-use needs and safety for acute and critical care patients in medical institutions within its jurisdiction, and maximizing the effectiveness of blood rescue.
• Kaohsiung Blood Center and the Children Are Us Social Welfare Foundation carried out the “Delivering Love Lunch Boxes to Tribal Communities” project, visiting Wugou Elementary School in Wanluan Township and interacting with students to promote blood donation. This brought professional blood science and the concept of voluntary non-remunerated blood donation into rural campuses, taking root through interactive health education and strengthening future health and medical capacity.

• The Foundation actively promotes the digital transformation and smart upgrading of blood preparation processes, and independently develops temperature control and automated sorting systems incorporating the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT), enhancing the innovation capacity of overall infrastructure.
• Through technology empowerment, the Foundation promotes operational upgrading by digitizing traditional visitor registration and inspection processes (combined with QR code scanning), building efficient and smart healthcare operational infrastructure.
• Digital business intelligence (BI) tools have been introduced to fully visualize traditional blood supply data, inventory reports, and delivery processes, building modern blood supply chain infrastructure with real-time capability and high resilience.
• In 2025, the Foundation built its own static application security testing (SAST) environment and integrated source code security scanning into the system development process. The source code scanning coverage rate for core applications reached 100%, with a target high-risk vulnerability remediation rate of ≥ 90%, meeting ISO 27001 A.14 secure development controls and strengthening the foundation for maintaining certification.
• In 2025, the Foundation introduced a global network behavior monitoring and log analysis system, bringing all connected devices at each blood center and headquarters under management. Multi-dimensional network management and log data are collected for correlated intelligent analysis, allowing managers to fully grasp network behavior and information security events on a single platform. The target is to reduce information security event detection time by more than 50%, while complete log retention meets ISO 27001 audit requirements.

• Closely linked with the major municipal construction milestone of the full opening of Kaohsiung’s circular light rail in 2024, the Foundation encouraged the public to use green public transportation networks to travel to blood donation sites, jointly building inclusive, safe, and resilient sustainable urban living areas.
• In 2025, Kaohsiung Blood Center organized a cleanup activity along Houjing Creek, leading colleagues into the community and deepening connections with the local living area through concrete action, jointly maintaining an urban hydrological environment with environmental resilience and livable quality.

• Each blood center of the Foundation prioritizes donated blood for medical use. For nonconforming blood products, in addition to destruction, they may be provided to domestic biotechnology companies for R&D reuse under the principle of personal data confidentiality. In addition, for blood products in hospital blood banks that are nearing expiration, the Foundation assists in transferring them to other medical institutions to improve blood product utilization. Blood intended for disposal is handled through resource reuse methods to reduce blood product waste and waste generation.
• Plastic medical waste with no risk of infection, such as apheresis kits used for blood donation, is handed over to government-registered qualified recycling companies for reuse, reducing incineration, lowering air pollution, and achieving sustainable resource use.
• For storage boxes used in the delivery of national plasma-derived products and blood products, the Foundation purchases reusable and recyclable materials to replace environmentally polluting Styrofoam, reducing environmental pollution.
• The Foundation’s volunteers, employees, and members of the Blood Donation Association organize ecological education and promotional activities, such as black-faced spoonbill conservation, during fellowship activities, helping participants understand that personal life is closely connected to ecological sustainability.
• The Foundation uses electronic blood donation registration, electronic test reports, electronic official document systems, and online attendance approval systems to reduce paper printing and mailing, contributing to environmental protection.
• Food waste machines are used to ferment kitchen waste into plant fertilizer, enabling resource reuse.
• Since September 2022, blankets used by blood donors have been packaged in washable and reusable cloth eco-friendly bags instead of disposable plastic bags. This is estimated to reduce the use of 23,980 plastic bags per year.
• Starting in 2023, the “Pass the Love Forward” blood donation campaign for young people has been combined with animal conservation organizations such as stray animal associations and Mama Zhao’s Dog Shelter. The campaign encourages a second act of kindness by inviting young people to pass on blood donation souvenirs and help animal conservation groups.
• The Foundation purchases environmentally friendly recycled products, contributing to responsible consumption and sustainable procurement.
• In 2025, Kaohsiung Blood Center organized a cleanup activity along Houjing Creek. This action was not simply about picking up trash, but also a concrete practice of our ESG commitment: environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance.
• Starting September 12, 2025, Taipei Blood Center began recycling and reusing medical waste, with items including blood transfusion sets and infusion sets. After processing, the recycled plastic materials can be made into “plastic lumber,” widely used in park walkways and public facilities. This measure can reduce approximately 300 kilograms of medical waste per month.

• In response to environmental sustainability, the Foundation has gradually planned to replace existing medium and large diesel bloodmobiles at each blood center with electric bloodmobiles. From 2023 to the end of March 2025, the Foundation raised funds for seven large electric bloodmobiles, seven large hybrid bloodmobiles, and eight hybrid blood delivery vehicles.
• The Foundation has increased indoor blood donation sites and non-powered fixed-site vehicles to raise the proportion of fixed-site blood donations, thereby reducing the deployment rate of existing diesel bloodmobiles and lowering exhaust emissions. In 2023, the Taichung Coastal Blood Donation Room was added; in 2024, the Kaohsiung Jiuru Blood Donation Room was added. Currently, all 12 fixed-site blood donation vehicles nationwide are non-powered blood donation vehicles.
• Gasoline administrative vehicles are gradually being replaced with hybrid or fully electric vehicles.
• The Foundation promotes paperless digitalization. It has established the Budget Management System, Personnel and Payroll System, and Finance and Accounting System, and has continued to implement digital paperless concepts by establishing the Electronic Official Document System in 2021 and the Online Attendance Approval System in 2022. The Foundation further plans to establish an AI SOP Query and Knowledge Management System, using AI semantic query technology to integrate SOP documents across the organization and improve knowledge management effectiveness.
• In 2018, the Blood Management System (BMS) went online, fully replacing original paper blood donation registration forms and health questionnaires with tablet or computer input and digital signatures. At the same time, donors are encouraged to receive test reports by email, further reducing paper use. In addition, the Hospital Online Blood Ordering System was established, making blood ordering more convenient, timely, and accurate while reducing paper and fax operations. These paperless measures have not only improved efficiency, but also achieved the enterprise’s goals of energy conservation and carbon reduction.
• The BI business intelligence reporting system has been fully extended to all blood centers, integrating business data such as cross-center blood inventory and donation volume, and establishing management dashboards to support real-time decision-making.
• The Foundation plans to independently develop an electronic form approval system covering fully paperless approvals for various administrative applications. Form data will be stored on the Foundation’s own servers, with a target of reducing annual paper use by more than 25% compared with 2023.
• Blood donation souvenirs and promotional items are planned and produced with environmental concepts. When purchasing items and equipment, products with green marks or energy-saving and environmental labels are prioritized to reduce environmental pollution, such as plastic reduction, eco-friendly materials, reduced packaging, and products selected by the Ministry of Economic Affairs that conform to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or embody social innovation concepts.
• The Foundation has successively replaced old instruments and equipment, introducing new equipment with relatively energy-saving features and eco-friendly materials, such as the Grifols Panther System for nucleic acid testing and Abbott Alinity’s System for immunovirology testing. These systems offer diversified functions, improved efficiency, and space savings.
