Today, LILYSILK products are backed by internationally recognized certifications, including OEKO-TEX, GOTS, GCS, and RWS, affirming its commitment to ethical sourcing and sustainability.

LILYSILK also actively redefines eco-conscious luxury through thoughtful collaborations. Recent capsule collections, featuring Hollywood stylist Elizabeth Stewart and British textile house Liberty Fabrics, infuse timeless style with modern sustainability. The company’s longstanding participation in the Zero Waste Movement is visible in every detail, from FSC-certified packaging to a robust recycling program with TerraCycle®, which has already repurposed over 2,700 silk and cashmere items into new materials.

Offline, LILYSILK’s first concept store opened in New York City’s Meatpacking District earlier this year, with a second location set to debut this fall. These spaces aim to deliver an immersive brand experience that celebrates both craftsmanship and community.

TAIPEI, Aug. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual and EdTech solutions, has once again been named one of the “Best Companies to Work for in Asia” by HR Asia Magazine for the third consecutive year. The company scored well above the market average in key areas such as “Collective Ownership,” “Sense of Work Purpose,” and “Application of Innovative Technologies,” reflecting its ongoing commitment to talent development, employee well-being, and an inclusive, collaborative workplace culture.

“We believe talent is not just a resource but the driving force behind innovation,” said Gary Wang, Human Resources Director for APAC at ViewSonic. “This award is a reflection of our employees’ dedication and the strong culture we’ve built together. We are committed to investing in diverse learning opportunities and fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. This people-centric approach not only supports individual growth but also drives organizational success.”

This latest recognition highlights ViewSonic’s long-term commitment to putting people first—aligning talent development with its sustainability goals and ensuring every employee feels valued, empowered, and inspired to reach their full potential.

Building a Culture of Growth, Belonging, and Empowerment

Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—including “Good Health and Well-being,” “Decent Work and Economic Growth,” and “Gender Equality”—ViewSonic has built a diverse, and supportive workplace that fosters active participation and shared ownership of its mission. Through programs such as leadership development, skills training, and mental health support, the company helps employees balance professional growth with personal well-being.

One standout initiative is the “Leadership Acceleration Program,” launched at ViewSonic’s Taiwan R&D Center to help new and mid-level managers shift away from traditional top-down leadership and embrace a more coaching-based style. With over 90 percent of participants applying what they have learned in daily team management, the program is set to expand across other Asian countries next year.

Empowering Talent Through Equal Opportunity and Fair Growth

As a global company, ViewSonic upholds a robust Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) policy. From hiring to benefits design, decisions are based on performance and ability—regardless of gender, age, physical condition, or nationality. Regular policy reviews and training ensure fairness and inclusivity remain core to the company’s operations.

ViewSonic’s near 1:1 global gender ratio reflects its ongoing efforts to advance gender equity. By ensuring equal access to promotions and development resources—and actively increasing female representation in STEM roles—ViewSonic continues to strengthen workplace diversity across its global teams.

The company also upholds a fair and transparent global compensation framework aligned with local living wages and market benchmarks. By fully adopting living wage standards, the company supports the long-term financial well-being of its workforce.

Creating Real-World Impact for People and the Planet

ViewSonic’s dedication to equity extends beyond its internal operations into the broader community through practical initiatives. The company works to advance digital equity in education, particularly for underserved schools, and partners with local organizations to enhance digital literacy across all ages, backgrounds, and underrepresented groups.

This same sense of purpose also drives ViewSonic’s sustainability efforts. In 2025, ViewSonic earned the EcoVadis Silver medal, ranking in the top 8% of more than 130,000 companies assessed globally for ESG performance. It also champions paperless solutions that enable digital transformation in education and business, significantly reducing resource consumption. As part of this sustainability effort, several of ViewSonic’s display products have earned top-tier environmental certifications, including EPEAT Gold—the highest level in the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool. This reflects the company’s commitment to integrating sustainability from product design through every stage of the life cycle.

GUIYANG, China, Aug. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A news report by Huanqiu.com

On July 23, the “Chinese Philosophy of the Mind and the World”: A Dialogue Between Chinese and German Philosophy of the Guiyang Confucius Academy 2025 Summer Seminar was held at the Confucius Academy, which was guided by the International Confucian Association (ICA) and organized by the cultural communication center of Guiyang Confucius Academy. The event was a further practice under the “Chinese Philosophy of the Mind and the World” academic alliance cooperation mechanism, following the successful “Academic Seminar of China’s School of Mind and the World” last year.

Master Wang Yangming’s enlightenment in Longchang, Guizhou marked the beginning of Wang Yangming’s Study of the Mind, which later became a pinnacle of Chinese Philosophy of the Mind.

Dai Jianwei, secretary and deputy director-general of Guiyang Confucius Academy cultural communication center, and vice chairman of ICA, shared the development of the Confucius Academy in recent years. He extended warm welcome to the attending experts and scholars of ICA and from home and abroad, and recalled the progress of the “Chinese Philosophy of the Mind and the World” academic alliance cooperation mechanism with pictures and videos.

In 2024, in order to inherit and carry forward the essence of Chinese Philosophy of the Mind, ICA, the Nishan World Center for Confucian Studies, Guiyang Confucius Academy cultural communication center and Zhejiang Provincial Jishan Wang Yangming Research Institute jointly initiated the “Chinese Philosophy of the Mind and the World” academic alliance cooperation mechanism at the Confucius Academy in Guiyang, receiving positive response from more than 20 domestic and international academic organizations as well as many scholars.

As a step-up practice of the alliance cooperation mechanism, the event is centered on the mutual learning of “Mind” and “Geist” between Chinese and German philosophy and includes four academic dialogues. It adopts a modern academic approach to explore the contemporary value of the mind studies, deepens the understanding of idealistic “Geist”, and explores the significance of Chinese and German core philosophical ideas for the development of a new form of human advancement.

Guo Qiyong, honorary president of the School of Chinese Classics, Wuhan University and honorary chairman of the academic committee of Confucius Academy, noted in the speech that Chinese scholars are familiar with and fond of Goethe and Kant, and the Chinese philosophy community is familiar with and has conducted in-depth research on German classical philosophy from Kant to Hegel, including Schelling, Fichte and others. This dialogue concentrates on an interesting big topic of “Chinese Philosophy of the Mind and the World”. The Chinese Philosophy of the Mind has had a far-reaching influence on East Asian culture and even the world culture, and many of its spiritual resources remain useful to the contemporary people from China and other countries.

ICA vice president Shu Dagang commented that the event is an important practice to deeply explore the contemporary value of Chinese Philosophy of the Mind, and respond to the common spiritual concerns of mankind. It serves as an innovative platform for building a bridge of dialogue among different civilizations, and propelling profound intellectual exchanges between China and Germany, and even between the East and the West. Such mechanism-based high-level international academic exchange demonstrates the core mission of the academic appliance cooperation mechanism, and is in line with the direction of dialogue among civilizations advocated by ICA. The event is a vivid practice of exploring the path of cultural inheritance and innovation and integrating the wisdom of mind studies into modern life. The diverse and colorful serial activities form a grand stage to showcase the contemporary value and vitality of Chinese Philosophy of the Mind in a multidimensional way.

In the keynote speech session moderated by Guo Yi, the Chinese initiator of the “Dialogue Between Chinese and German Philosophy” and a professor from Seoul National University, keynote speeches were presented in sequence by Michael Spieker, the German initiator of the dialogue and a professor from Munich University of Applied Sciences, Huang Yong, a professor from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the editor-in-chief of Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy, and a director of ICA, Marko Fuchs, a professor from University of Bamberg, and Chen Jiaying, a Yanjing humanities chair professor from Capital Normal University.

On the day of the event, the organizer also officially announced the Guiyang Confucius Academy 2025 Summer Seminar. Themed on “Chinese Philosophy of the Mind and the World”, 12 impressive activities of three series were meticulously designed for the purposes of promoting the research, transformation and application, and international dissemination of Chinese Philosophy of the Mind in an all-round and multilevel way, and integrating the wisdom of mind studies into study, experience and life.
