Delta was invited by ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability) for a speech in its side event during the COP23 UN Climate Change Conference in November 2017 in Bonne, Germany.. As the only corporation invited to the side event, Delta exchanged constructive views and practices with the cities of Toyama City, Ulan Bator, Shenzhen and New Taipei City, as well as the Asian Development Bank. During the event, which was overflowed with dozens of decision makers and climate experts, Ms. Shan-Shan Guo, executive director of the Delta Electronics Foundation, offered effective ways for the private sector to contribute in the development of sustainable cities while elaborating on Delta's concrete achievements in enabling low-carbon buildings, transportation and energy infrastructure.

Ms. Shan-Shan Guo, executive director of the Delta Electronics Foundation, participated in ICLEI's side event through a speech themed "How can the private sector help facilitate a sustainable city?" in which she remarked, "Delta has committed to carbon reduction in its operations and businesses. We have successfully established 25 green buildings globally with our energy-saving technologies, and further provide building automation, EV charging and smart LED street lighting solutions to facilitate sustainable cities across the world. At the COP23 side event exhibition area, Delta has also been granted permission to showcase its endeavors and accomplishments in nurturing green buildings, low-carbon mobility and environmental education to share Taiwanese companies' experiences in sustainability with the world."

Delta has attended the COP UN Climate Change Conferences for 11 consecutive years and it has one-week (11/13-17) permission to showcase its green achievements at its own booth near UNFCCC's pavilion and main stage. Delta booth has attracted several international opinion leaders including representatives from Poland —the host of COP24—, Australia, U.S., some African countries and more. Ms. Shan-Shan Guo also shared Delta's carbon reduction achievements through interviews by IISD, the official media partner of COP, as well as by the NHK special edition program production team.

At COP23, Delta is presenting the 25 green buildings it has contributed since 2006 and its EV Charging Solutions. Our booth is also displaying the ultra high-resolution environmental documentary – "Water with Life", produced in collaboration with Japan's NHK Enterprises, showing the beauty of water in Taiwan and environmental awareness to international opinion leaders and visitors.
