Layana firmly believes that environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance (ESG) are the foundation for sustainable business development. We are committed to incorporating ESG principles into our daily operations and actively promoting environmental sustainability, social progress, and personal health in Taiwan through the "Walk Taiwan" project. This is achieved by awarding certificates to those who complete walking around Taiwan, encouraging everyone to accomplish this remarkable feat of over 1000 kilometers.

 

 

Our Vision

Taiwan has a primary walking route around the island  

 

 

 

 

1. Environmental Sustainability: Protecting Taiwan’s Natural Treasures

The "Walk Taiwan" project encourages exploring the beauty of Taiwan in a low-carbon or even zero-carbon way, reducing the burden of tourism on the environment. We are dedicated to:

  • Reducing Carbon Footprint: Promoting walking instead of traditional high-carbon transportation, and offering environmental education to guide participants in reducing emissions during their journeys.
  • Protecting Biodiversity: Carefully selecting walking routes to avoid ecologically sensitive areas, and providing ecological education to help participants understand and respect Taiwan’s rich ecological resources.
  • Practicing Leave No Trace Travel: Advocating the "Leave No Trace" principle, requiring participants to take away their own trash and actively clean up along the way, jointly protecting Taiwan's natural environment.

2. Social Responsibility: Advocating for Pedestrian Rights

We recognize that pedestrian rights are a key indicator of urban civilization, and therefore we actively promote:

  • Raising Awareness of Pedestrian Rights: Collaborating with local governments to incorporate pedestrian-priority designs into urban planning, improving the walking environment, and reducing pedestrian accidents.
  • Creating a Safe Walking Environment: Planning safe walking routes, providing safety equipment and education, enhancing pedestrian safety awareness, and encouraging governments to invest more in walking infrastructure.
  • Advocating for Pedestrian Policy Changes: Through awareness campaigns, we aim to raise public attention to pedestrian rights and recommend government departments to increase investments in pedestrian roads and facilities, speaking up for pedestrian interests.

3. Personal Health: Promoting Healthy Living for All Ages

The "Walk Taiwan" project is not only about exploring natural beauty, but also about promoting a healthy lifestyle for all ages. We are committed to:

  • Promoting a Healthy Lifestyle: Encouraging walking as a form of exercise to help participants improve cardiovascular function, strengthen physical fitness, and reduce daily stress.
  • Improving Mental Health: Providing opportunities to spend extended time outdoors, allowing participants to relax, reduce stress, and enjoy the therapeutic experience of being in nature.
  • Health Benefits for All Ages: Encouraging participation from all age groups, and offering health guidance tailored to different age ranges, so that every participant can benefit.

Walk Taiwan Sharing Sessions

Layana regularly organizes Walk Taiwan Sharing Sessions across Taiwan, where we invite those who have completed the walk around Taiwan (often referred to as "walkers") to share their unique stories. Although everyone embarks on their walk around Taiwan for different reasons, their love for this land is the same. Layana’s "Walk Taiwan" project not only promotes tourism but also serves as a model for practicing ESG principles. We will continue to promote this project, expand its impact, and join forces with more partners to contribute to Taiwan’s environmental sustainability, social progress, and personal health. We believe that through ongoing efforts and collaboration, the "Walk Taiwan" project will become an important milestone in Taiwan’s sustainable development, creating a better future for the island.
