Delta Electronics (Thailand) PCL. announces it has been included in the FTSE4Good Index Series. Created by the global index and data provider FTSE Russell, the FTSE4Good Index Series is designed to measure the performance of companies demonstrating strong Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices. The FTSE4Good indexes are used by a wide variety of market participants to create and assess responsible investment funds and other products.
FTSE Russell evaluations are based on performance in areas such as Corporate Governance, Health & Safety, Anti-Corruption and Climate Change. Businesses included in the FTSE4Good Index Series meet a variety of environmental, social and governance criteria.
Mr.KK Chong, Head of Sustainable Development of Delta Thailand stated “Our inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index Series reflects the values and commitment that drive everything we do at Delta Thailand. We believe that sustainability and ethical governance are not just goals, they are fundamental to building a resilient business by creating value for our stakeholders, including the society. This milestone inspires us to continue innovating, collaborating, and leading the way toward a greener and more responsible future.”
This achievement reflects Delta’s commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility through impactful initiatives such as its internal carbon pricing mechanism. Business units contribute to a carbon fund based on energy usage, reinvesting in projects such as solar rooftop installations, automated energy-saving systems, circular economy promotion and green logistics. These efforts demonstrate Delta Thailand’s dedication to driving innovation and reducing its environmental footprint while advancing its mission to achieve Net Zero by 2050, in alignment with its Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitment to set and meet ambitious, measurable emissions reduction targets in line with the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
Delta also upholds strong corporate governance and ethical practices. The company actively supports anti-corruption initiatives, highlighted by its recent recertification in the Collective Action against Corruption program. Through employee training, transparent business operations, and adherence to global ethical standards, Delta fosters trust and accountability. This holistic approach to sustainability throughout its value chain encompasses environmental responsibility, positive social impact, and robust governance.
Delta Thailand’s inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index Series underscores its unwavering commitment to embedding sustainability into its operations. By continuously innovating and prioritizing renewable energy and ethical business practices, Delta is shaping a more sustainable and equitable future for all stakeholders while staying on track to meet its ambitious targets of 100% renewable energy by 2030 and Net Zero emissions by 2050.
