Taipei, Taiwan (Merxwire) – China Development Financial Holding Corporation (CDF) recently hosted an outdoor “Welcome Spring Charity Market” event to support small businesses and rural farms, many of which have taken a hit as people choose to stay home under the COVID-19 pandemic.
CBID International, the private equity arm of CDF and chaired by Angelo Koo, also supports various other relevant social welfare and sustainable initiatives.
The charity market event not only provided much needed support to vendors from rural areas but was also in line with some of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), and a core CDF strategy of “Accelerate Digital”. The strategy of Accelerate Digital integrates digital bank services to create convenient, streamlined, and contactless interactions in response to the pandemic. The event not only successfully had a blowout sale that raised NT1.1 million in under three hours, but also saw massive support from 2,000 CDF employees. The bustling and lively fair-like event also drew in additional visitors from nearby businesses and communities.
