Building A Culture Of Connection And Care: CBIES March Employee Activities
At CBIES, sustainability is not only about responsible manufacturing and long-term industrial development. It is also about people. As part of our commitment to the Social pillar of ESG, we actively cultivate an inclusive workplace where employees feel valued, connected, and supported.
In March 2026, CBIES organized a series of internal activities that brought colleagues together in meaningful ways. From a company-wide Quarterly Tea Gathering and Birthday Celebration to an Early Celebration of International Women's Day, these activities reflected our belief that a strong organization is built on a connected and supportive team.
By creating opportunities for dialogue, shared experiences, and recognition, CBIES continues to strengthen employee engagement and workplace well-being.
ENCOURAGING DIALOGUE THROUGH THE FIRST-QUARTER TEA GATHERING
On a March afternoon, CBIES employees gathered for the First-Quarter Tea Gathering, an internal event designed to encourage open conversation and cross-team communication.
The event began at 4:00 PM and took place in various office spaces throughout the company. Before the gathering, CBIES circulated an internal survey to collect topic suggestions from employees. The survey allowed team members to express their interests and propose discussion themes they felt would be meaningful or relevant.
Based on the responses, participants were divided into small groups according to their selected topics. Each group focused on a specific theme, creating an environment where colleagues could share perspectives, personal experiences, and practical insights.
During the two-hour session, employees engaged in open discussions with their group mates. Some conversations centered on professional growth and workplace collaboration, while others explored personal experiences and life lessons. The format encouraged honest dialogue and helped colleagues from different departments better understand each other.
By giving employees a platform to voice ideas and exchange experiences, the Tea Gathering reinforced CBIES's commitment to open communication and collaborative team spirit. These informal conversations often spark new insights and strengthen relationships across teams, contributing to a healthier and more connected workplace.

A SHARED TABLE: CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS TOGETHER
Following the Tea Gathering, employees reconvened at 6:00 PM in the company meeting room for a quarterly birthday celebration.
Rather than organizing a formal dinner, CBIES chose a more personal and inclusive format. Each employee prepared and brought a dish to share with colleagues, transforming the celebration into a lively and diverse potluck gathering. As the meeting room filled with homemade dishes and favorite recipes, colleagues gathered around the table to enjoy the food together. The shared meal created a relaxed atmosphere where employees could connect beyond their daily work routines.
The highlight of the evening was the birthday celebration for employees whose birthdays fell within the quarter. CBIES prepared a special birthday cake for the celebrants, and colleagues joined together to sing birthday songs and celebrate the occasion.

These simple but meaningful moments play an important role in fostering a sense of belonging. Celebrating personal milestones reminds employees that they are valued not only for their professional contributions but also as individuals within the organization. Through initiatives like this, CBIES aims to foster a workplace culture where employees feel connected, respected, and supported.
CELEBRATING WOMEN AHEAD OF INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
Another important activity in March was CBIES's celebration of International Women's Day. In 2026, International Women's Day fell on a Sunday. To ensure all employees could participate in the celebration during the workweek, CBIES organized an early appreciation initiative for female employees.
As part of this effort, the company prepared thoughtful gifts for all women on the team. Each gift package included:
- A carefully selected book symbolizing personal growth and lifelong learning
- A framed photograph, printed from images provided by the employees themselves
These photos held special meaning. Some employees chose personal portraits, while others selected photos taken with family members or loved ones. These images were placed in beautiful frames, making them keepsakes employees could display at home or in the office. The gesture reflected CBIES's appreciation for the diverse roles women play, not only as professionals but also as daughters, mothers, partners, and more.

By celebrating these personal stories, CBIES highlighted the importance of respect, recognition, and inclusion in the workplace.
