Taipei City Government held the 2024 “Green Transportation for Net-Zero Emissions– Green Movement GO in Neihu” awards event today to acknowledge Neihu enterprises. Delta Electronics stood out for its active promotion of public transportation and green vehicles, as well as its participation in the “EV100 (Electric Vehicle 100%).” By offering incentives for employees and visitors to use low-carbon transport, Delta reduced a total of 17,805 tons of CO₂ emissions from employee commutes globally in 2023, making it the most outstanding enterprise in terms of ESG reporting in the program. Compal Electronics claimed first place in the city’s carbon reduction campaign with 911 employees participating this year. Ya-kuang Electric not only encouraged its employees to cycle to work, but also donated a YouBike station to benefit nearby residents. These enterprises were awarded the “Outstanding Contribution Award” by Mayor Chiang Wan-an for their tangible contributions to green transportation. Mayor Chiang also presented the “Diverse Action Award” to companies implementing various green transportation measures, the “Ambassador Award” to those promoting green transportation via media and vehicle advertising, and the “Green Partner Award” to other enterprises involved in the initiative, celebrating Neihu businesses’ impressive results in promoting green transportation and reducing commute emissions.

This year’s “2024 Neihu Green Transportation and ESG Promotion Project” was co-organized by the Taipei City Department of Transportation and Neihu Technology Park Development Association, aiming to reduce traffic congestion in Neihu via public-private collaboration. Enterprises are encouraged to promote green transportation or adopt work-from-home policies. The program held 3 briefings, attracting participation from 302 companies—an 86% increase from last year—among which 117 partnered with the city government, marking a 92% increase. To further support bicycle commuting, the program has also developed 2 cycling routes for employees this year.

Other than acknowledging companies' efforts and innovation in green transportation, Neihu Technology Park Development Association Chairman Jesse Chou emphasized the importance of continuing to promote green transportation among Neihu enterprises, encouraging more companies and employees to switch to low-carbon transportation options to alleviate traffic in Neihu. The Department of Transportation and the association will deepen their collaboration to improve Neihu traffic and transform the park into Taiwan’s first smart low-carbon transportation hub.
