Leader's word

On a consolidated basis, revenue for 2023 was approximately NT$203.6 billion, a decrease of 15% from the same period in 2022. It has been undoubtedly a tough year for all of us. Despite the persistent external uncertainty in 2024, including unpredictable negative factors such as war and inflation, we must be cautious and never stop taking an optimistic outlook on future. We must seize the opportunity of economic recovery this year to raise revenue and maximize profit.                           

To accomplish the vision of “Achieving Over 50% of Profit from High Value-Added Business by 2027,” we need to enhance profitability by adhering to the principle of “All rivers flow to the sea, but the sea is never full”. Through merger and acquisition, we invite talented person to join our grand fleet, utilizing group resources, power and strength to build bright future together. We must accelerate the pace of optimizing existing business at the same time, advancing both initiatives to drive business growth in the group with operational efficiency in 2024.                            

Since the advent of generative AI at the end of 2022, an increasing number of companies and individuals have handed over repetitive and fixed tasks to AI, and the trend of a paradigm shift has become very obvious. When external circumstances changes, we should be open-minded to learning and applying new things proactively instead of insisting on working with an old pattern.                            

Both AI and ESG are currently the most important trends. Last year, the Group collaborated with the alliance and attained a lot of recognitions in the aspect of ESG, winning a total of 29 sustainability-related awards throughout the year. We have set goals to cut carbon emissions from the supply chain by 30% by 2030, switch to 100% renewable energy by 2040, and reach net-zero emissions by 2050 to actively implement sustainable operations. We hope that all employees can work together to improve operational performance and achieve value transformation and sustainable growth!

Together, let us “facilitate common good for sustainability in Qisda,” make greater accomplishments, and create a better future.

Corporate sustainable development is one of Qisda’s core values. We are aware that only through SDGs can we protect the Earth’s environment, continuously improve employee benefits, and create economic value for the Company.

ESG strategies have been integrated in our business model, aligning with SDGs to ensure corporate sustainability, in the hopes of making positive impacts on the society and environment.

As for research and development of green products, we continue reducing the carbon footprint of products. Green operations emphasize environmental protection measures, promotion of energy conservation and carbon reduction, and driving low-carbon manufacturing and materials.

We take the initiative to use Renewable Energy Certificates to promote clean energy use and minimize environmental impact.    
     
The advent of Generative AI in November 2022 has accelerated our progress as it can automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks. 

Consequently, Generative AI enable us to boost productivity at work and augment our creativity.     
 

AI will not replace humans, but people who can use AI will replace people who cannot use it. To be up for the challenge of the new era, we can work together and follow the path to excellence together. We are determined to lead the Grand Fleet and face challenges head-on to continue standing at forefront of the industry. Through the three principles of specialize, optimize and pioneer, the Company is required to simplify operations and make good use of resources. There is no best, there is always a better. We should spur ourselves with the highest standards and form an excellent team jointly to provide the best products and services and become a global leader in the industry.    
                          
Moreover, we continue fulfilling our social responsibilities, including actively participating in community activities, supporting local education and public welfare organizations, and ensuring that our supply chain and partners are following high standards of social responsibility. We have established a clear and transparent communication mechanism to work with stakeholders in promoting the sustainable development of the society.

Simultaneously, we have established a transparent and fair management system for corporate governance to ensure that our decision-making and operation comply with the highest ethical standards. As for risk management and regulatory compliance, the operations of the Company have always complied with the highest standard, and adhered to the principle of integrity in terms of shareholder equity and corporate value.

Finally, I believe that Qisda will continue to create value for society by collaborating with upstream and downstream partners. The glorious vision of ‘Together, Make The World Better’ will be fulfilled.
