Delta honoured by CDP for supply chain sustainability

Delta Electronics has been awarded the highest ‘A’ grade as a ‘Supplier Engagement Leader’ in the 2021 Supplier Engagement Rating (SER) conducted by Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), with the highest rating in key criteria such as "’upplier Engagement’ and ‘Scope 3 Emissions’. Delta has been selected as a Supplier Engagement Leader for the second consecutive year following its recognition as a global leader on ‘Climate Change’ and ‘Water Security’ by CDP last year. Its effort and action on climate change is once again recognised by indicative assessment.

Jesse Chou, Delta's chief sustainability officer, said: “Delta has long been concerned with climate change and has worked on energy saving and carbon reduction in its daily operations while also proactively participates in sustainable development initiatives by adopting and implementing Science Based Targets (SBTs) in 2017. In 2021, Delta achieved and surpassed its original goal of 56.6% reduction in carbon intensity by 2025, and the proportion of renewable energy in global electricity generation climbed to 45.7% in 2020 through its autonomous energy-saving plans, self-generation of solar electricity as well as its purchase of renewable electricity and certificates.

“Based on the experience and achievements of SBT implementation, Delta has joined RE100 and made a commitment to use 100% renewable electricity and achieve carbon neutrality in its global supply chains by 2030. It continues to improve supply chain sustainability, create innovative research and development, provide high-efficiency energy-saving products to customers to help reduce carbon emissions, and promote sustainable management of supply chain to engage in global trends of net zero carbon emissions and co-create business value on climate change.

“We are honoured to have achieved the highest ‘A’ grade as a CDP Supplier Engagement Leader for two consecutive years through the company's efforts as well as those of its partners.”
