Delta Electronics was just selected for the 2014 Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) World for the fourth consecutive year and for the DJSI Emerging Markets, which was launched in 2013, for the second year in a row. The DJSI Index includes 43 leading companies in the Electronic Equipment, Instrument and Component sector.

The DJSI's assessment recognized Delta for effectiveness in operational risk management, internal control and auditing. Since 2012 and 2013, Delta has received full marks in "Risk & Crisis Management" and "Water Related Risk" for a consecutive three years and two years respectively. By building a culture of ethical corporate management and employee care, Delta continues to also receive leading performance assessments in "Codes of Conduct/Compliance/Corruption & Bribery," "Occupational Health and Safety," and "Labor Practice Indicators and Human Rights".

Mr. Yancey Hai, chairman of Delta Electronics, said, "Delta is dedicated to fulfilling its corporate mission "To provide innovative, clean and energy-efficient solutions for a better tomorrow" through the development of sustainable technologies and solutions. Delta's high-efficiency products and solutions have contributed to a total savings of 11.9 billion kWh of electricity and a reduction of carbon emissions by about 6.4 Million tons of CO2e from 2010 to 2013. Energy savings from Delta's 11 worldwide green buildings was 12 million kWh in 2013. Our 15-year headquarters in Taipei, Taiwan, which was recently renovated and certified as a green building, also delivers a carbon reduction rate of 51.75% and energy savings of 58% through the utilization of Delta's energy-saving solutions."

The Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes were launched in 1999 as the first global sustainability benchmarks. The indexes are offered cooperatively by RobecoSAM and S&P Dow Jones Indices. Each year, they invite the world's 2,500 largest companies, measured by free-float market capitalization, from the 59 sectors to report on their sustainability performance. The result of the Corporate Sustainability Assessment provides an in-depth analysis of economic, environmental and social criteria. The indexes serve as benchmarks for investors who integrate sustainability considerations into their portfolios, and provide an effective engagement platform for companies who want to adopt sustainable best practices.
