Delta
Electronics Chairman Yancey Hai won the Asia Talent Management Award at
CNBC's 12th Asia Business Leaders Awards (ABLA) 2013, held in Bangkok
on November 14th. Mr. Hai was chosen from among 62 outstanding Asia
business leaders based on his exceptional achievements in talent
development, attraction, and retention, which have enabled Delta to
develop into an internationally recognized sustainable enterprise. With
this award Mr. Hai is the first business leader of a Taiwan based
company to win ABLA honors twice since the ABLA began in 2001, having
received “Asia Innovator of the Year” in 2010.
Mr.
Hai remarked, "I am honored to receive the Asia Talent Management Award
at this year’s Asia Business Leaders Awards. I accept it on behalf of
all our employees at Delta Group, whose efforts and dedication have made
this award possible. Delta is fortunate to be able to combine our
company's mission ‘To provide innovative, clean and energy-efficient
solutions for a better tomorrow' with our business development. As we
are moving from ODM to DMS (Design, Manufacture, Solution), we have made
talent management a strategic part of the business model shift. Delta
invests 5% to 6% of our group's annual sales revenues in research and
development to equip our staff with essential technical skills and
domain knowledge for system integration service.”
Mr.
Yancey Hai joined Delta Electronics in 1999 and became Vice Chairman
and CEO in 2004. In June 2012, Mr. Hai was elected as Chairman to
oversee Delta’s corporate strategic direction and solidify the corporate
governance mechanism as well as enhance corporate social
responsibility. Under Mr. Hai's leadership Delta Electronics quadrupled
its revenues to $5.9 billion with more than 70% of its shares held by
global institutional investors. Delta Group is now the industry leader
in energy management solutions, with worldwide sales revenues of US$ 7.1
billion in 2012. Recent recognition for Delta’s corporate social
responsibility includes receiving the Taiwan National Industry
Innovation Award twice as well as selection to the Dow Jones
Sustainability Index’s (DJSI) World Index for the past three consecutive
years. In brand development, Delta was named as one of Taiwan’s Top 20
