Under Simon Chiang, Ever Rich has not only become one of Asia’s most innovative travel retailers, but also one that is synonymous with public service |
TAIWAN. Ever Rich Group Chairman and CEO Simon Chiang has been named The Moodie Personality of the Month for April, in association with The Dalmore Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
The Moodie Report Personality of the Month is a regular online feature, supported by leading Highland malt The Dalmore. It aims to recognise those individuals who by their deeds, attitudes and behaviour advance the industry’s cause.
Last month Chiang unveiled full details of two of Asia’s most significant and exciting duty free projects. In his first-ever business media interview, held at Ever Rich headquarters in Taipei with The Moodie Report, Chiang revealed plans for a major new flagship downtown duty free store to be opened in October in the Neihu district of capital city Taipei.
And in the second quarter of 2013, the company will open a vast duty free shopping mall on the Kinmen Islands, offshore from Xiamen on the Chinese Mainland, selling to Taiwanese and Mainland Chinese tourists.
Full details of both projects will appear in The Moodie Report Print Edition, available online later this week and in hard copy next week at TFWA Asia Pacific.
Ever Rich Duty Free Shop Corporation was founded by Simon Chiang in 1995 and is considered one of Asia’s most innovative travel retailers, one that is synonymous with public service.
The company has a tremendous commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, one embraced with a passion by its owners (led by Simon Chiang), management and entire team.

The Moodie Report also named Simon Chiang as one of its People of the Year for 2011. In our commentary on the selection we noted: “The President of Ever Rich Duty Free Shop Corporation has long been a role model for the way he has championed charitable causes. This year, in Taiwan’s ultimate recognition of Corporate Social Responsibility, the company received the prestigious National Civic Service Award from the Premier of Taiwan Executive Yuan, Wu Den-yih. The award honours individuals and groups that make charitable contributions and promote humanitarian activities.
“Ever Rich was the only with profit institution to earn the accolade. The inspirational Simon Chiang’s words on receiving the award were humble and heartfelt – “Love is the most beautiful thing and practising charity is the most joyful.”
