The side event, one of the most relevant today at COP21, includes parties such as governments, research institutions and enterprises to discuss the energy efficiency at a city level. Delta, as the only representative from the business sector, had its CEO Mr. Ping Cheng and its Chief Brand Officer and Executive Director of the Delta Electronics Foundation, Ms. Shan-Shan Guo, providing keynote speeches on how Delta develops technology capable of delivering significant energy savings and how it enhances public awareness of energy savings through various initiatives.

Maria Krautzberger, President of the UBA, highlighted during the event that in addition to technology, changing people’s behavior is also key to limit rising global temperatures within 2℃.

Delta’s CEO Mr. Cheng said: “Delta’s corporate mission is ‘To provide innovative, clean and efficient-energy solutions for a better tomorrow.’ Delta provides innovative, highly efficient, and easily scalable solutions for emerging countries to support both rapid economic growth and reduced environmental impact. For developed countries, Delta provides solutions with leading energy efficiency and works with partners and customers to build smart and green lifestyles together.”

Delta’s Chief Brand Officer and Executive Director of the Delta Electronics Foundation, Ms. Shan-Shan Guo, pointed out: “By displaying the highlights of the documentary film ‘Beyond Beauty: Taiwan from Above’ that Delta sponsored two years ago, we can show the international community beautiful aerial photography of Taiwan and deliver the message that we must live in harmony with our planet. Delta has promoted energy conservation and has linked up with the international community for years. We interpret IPCC research reports and increase the awareness of environmental issues for the public in Taiwan.”

“This year, Delta shares its experience in realizing 21 green buildings over the past decade with the international community at the COP21 in Paris. The aim is to call for higher awareness of the potential energy savings offered by green buildings as well as to assist the public in developing positive habits of energy consumption.”

The opinion leaders in the meeting are all interested in the private sector’s role against climate change.

“Delta has industry-leading energy efficiency, and its business development is aligned with the global trend of lower carbon emissions. Delta also cultivates energy conservation education in order to raise public awareness on climate issues. More importantly, Delta uses its technology to enable higher energy-saving standards capable of providing a positive contribution to climate policies, thus, realizing its corporate social responsibility,” said Ms. Shan-Shan Guo.
