Tell us about Delta Electronics' journey to a net zero future.
As Taiwan technology sector became one of the manufacturing engines of the world, energy shortages and air pollution generated by the growing number of fossil fuel power plants became challenges for the island. Our founder, Mr. Bruce Cheng – a visionary, always thinking outside the box – decided to make our products as energy efficient as possible, to help customers save operational costs and reduce their impact on the environment. Thus, energy efficiency was embedded into the core of Delta’s values and our commitment to sustainability began.
Today, Delta has become a world-leading provider in areas such as e-mobility, industrial automation, building automation, energy infrastructure, and ICT infrastructure. In 2022, our consolidated worldwide sales revenues achieved approximately US$13 billion.
Delta naturally evolved into a sustainable and IoT-based, energy-saving solutions-focused company capable of helping mankind reduce its carbon footprint. In 2017, we became the first Taiwanese company to set an emissions reduction target under SBTi 2 degrees methodology and, through our energy conservation prowess, surpassed that target four years ahead of schedule. We found that global sustainability initiatives are such powerful tools to help us push forward with tangible targets and meaningful impacts.
