It has been more than a year since the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 15) took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, where over 100 national leaders attended. The delegates of the COP 16 Conference in Cancun and follow-up conferences addressed the emissions target with the "Kyoto Protocol" second period of commitment, established the Green Climate Fund, and continued further negotiations of adoption and technology transfer among different countries. However, significant differences remain regarding the development stages of various countries. The progress of international negotiations is slow, yet the pace of global warming continues to quicken. This was particularly evident during the 2010 economic recovery, in which statistics from the International Energy Agency (IEA) show that carbon dioxide emissions increased by 1.6 billion tons compared with the previous year (mainly a product of burning fossil fuels). At 30.6 billion tons, it is alarming that carbon emissions are at an all-time high.

Aside from fulfilling our mission "To provide innovative, clean and efficient energy solutions for a better tomorrow", Delta hopes to not only contribute to protecting the environment, but also to participate in the rapidly growing green industry. We are incorporating new methods and remaining proactive in ensuring our competitiveness in the green market. With 40 years of experience in the power management industry we are continuously enhancing product quality and efficiency. We are also actively developing clean technologies and alternative energy products. Delta is currently making a move from the IT (information technology) field to the ET (energy technology) field and clean energy. The solutions that we provide such as solar and wind power systems, cloud computing, smart grid, medical electronics, electric vehicles, lithium batteries with charging infrastructure, energy-efficient LED lighting, industrial automation, and intelligent green building systems, are all targeted to meeting future market demands. Delta's focus corresponds directly to China's 12th "Five-Year Plan" where 3.1 trillion RMB will be invested in the energy-saving industry, environmental protection industry, the renewable energies industry, the bio–technology industry, the new emerging information industry, and new electric vehicle propulsion methods.

We continue to focus on corporate governance and achieving our business goals. The Greek debt crisis has spread across Europe and the United States' quantitative easing policy has weakened the U.S. Dollar; however, Delta's revenue is at a record high in 2010. Aside from receiving the 2010 Taiwan Superior Brands Award, Delta won first place in the Commonwealth Corporate Citizenship Awards and was selected as the Most Admired in the electronics category. We also received most outstanding / best supplier awards from Asus, Cisco, LSI, Pegatron, and more. Delta continues to achieve a high level of success and recognition in a challenging business environment.

2010 marks the 40th anniversary of Delta Group as well as the 20th anniversary of the Delta Electronics Foundation. As we launch a series of special events, we hope that more people become environmentally conscious and sensitive to the urgent energy crisis at hand. Delta continues to cultivate the core mission of the Delta Foundation and achieve progress. To promote green buildings, Delta employs green architecture and functions in its new buildings around the world, and will acquire more green certifications. The Delta Foundation has also donated fully green academic buildings to universities. The "Y.S. Sun Green Building Research Center" at the National Cheng Kung University is the first zero-carbon building in Taiwan and also the first green architectural education center in the subtropics. The building has an overall energy savings of up to 65%, water savings of up to 50%, and uses 100% green materials. Coupled with innovative engineering methods and low costs allows the structure to reap the maximum amount of environmental benefits as an inexpensive green building. The Delta Foundation has also donated to reconstruct the Mianyang Sunshine Elementary School devastated by the Sichuan earthquake and also provided help to the Kaohsiung County Min Quan Elementary School damaged by flood waters from Typhoon Morakot. These projects have constructed environmentally friendly and comfortable campus environments. In addition to allowing people to enjoy the benefits of green buildings, the Foundation has also organized documentary film festivals, forums, "Green Designer Workshops," and more, promoting energy conservation, as well as environmentally-friendly and healthy design concepts.

The global environment of the 21st century is facing a major crisis. People must become more aware of not overusing and wasting natural resources. Destroying our beautiful environment would not only sacrifice our quality of life, but it would also create a catastrophe that would affect future generations. We must create a new industrial revolution. New opportunities for innovation will continue to bring challenges, and Delta will remain dedicated to creating sustainable methods to protect the environment and to achieve our business goals for the 21st century.
