2014, Jan.,The 2014 Taiwan Excellence Award of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA)

b_290_290_16777215_00___images_news3_2014.jpgThe 22nd Taiwan Excellence Awards, hosted by the Taiwan Bureau of Foreign Trade, has long stood for the highest standard and role model of boutique product in Taiwan on many domains, including product development, design, quality assurance, marketing, and Made-in-Taiwan (MIT) production. It is also the only all-around award in the world, thus reflects Taiwan’s brand innovation value to rest of the globe. The country’s first green social enterprise, DA.AI Technology Corporation, was first awarded and recognized in 2012 with its iconic eco-friendly green and white non-dyed polo shirt, named DA.AI (Great Love in Chinese) Polo Shirt. The company continues to triumph in 2013 by winning awards on a total of 6 different series. Furthermore, in the recently announced 22nd Taiwan Excellence Awards, DA.AI Technology Corporation has once again proved itself with 10 different product series (a total of 59 products) including the Chinese traditional style Heritage Series, Fresh Sprout/Mascots (infants/kids) Series, Cultivated (leisure) Series, Vow into Action (disaster relief) Series, and the Home Gift Box Series that demonstrates the caring for environment, all living beings, and mother Earth. The company has also published numerous reports on the 2014 Taiwan Excellence Awards to tell the humanism stories behind the brand.

The DA.AI Technology’s Corporation differs from rest of the fiber textile industry in a sense that all of the company’s raw materials come from the plastic bottles that come into the Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation’s recycling centers daily from all over Taiwan. Moreover, DA.AI Technology fully contributes its investment and net profit back to Tzu Chi Foundation, which is then utilized on local and international charity and disaster relief. The company is also looking to extend its product development technology into other raw materials, such as recycled paper, to better re-use all the unwanted resources.

Together with the global footprint of Taiwan Excellence Awards, DA.AI Technology had the chance to tag along and exhibit around the world. Thanks to this rare opportunity, people from different country and region were able to learn aboutTaiwan’s enlivened power of recycling, turning what was meant to be thrown away into useful resources. The company’s establishment is made possible by numerous recycling volunteers and entrepreneurs who contributed their time, money, and effort on theislandofTaiwan. DA.AI Technology wishes to carry out all these stories behind the brand and product to the world, and ultimately raises everyone’s awareness to love and cherish the land that we live on and to “coexist with the Earth.”

傳薪清蓮心香溢 自淨身心品高潔

圖說: 「蓮花刺繡外套」,即傳達心性的美善與清淨,誠如靜思語所言:「大愛的心猶如一朵清淨的蓮花,不論在任何環境都能散發清香。」(攝影者:大愛感恩科技)大愛感恩科技傳薪系列中國風服飾,乃回溯中國復古之美,賦予人文新意,遵循  證嚴法師《禮儀之美》的慈示,藉由服儀人文之美,回歸人性的單純樸實。其中「包容系列」的設計就是以清明心念為主,日前上市傳薪心品--「蓮花刺繡外套」,即傳達心性的美善與清淨,誠如靜思語所言:「大愛的心猶如一朵清淨的蓮花,不論在任何環境都能散發清香。」

蓮花生於污泥之中,開出潔淨之花,在美麗的外表下,擁有清明的內在涵養。周敦頤的〈愛蓮說〉:「出淤泥而不染,濯清漣而不妖。」便將蓮花喻為「花中君子」,象徵君子不同流合污、不隨俗浮沉的高潔品性,以及莊重質樸,不諂媚炫耀的低調淡泊。「蓮花刺繡外套」融入蓮花清逸淡雅的氣息,聚合眾人之愛,將資源變清流,清流化大愛,為社會帶來古樸之美與洗滌塵垢的精神力量。

「蓮花刺繡外套」純淨無後染,100%環保材質。以西式剪裁表現中國服儀的柔美優雅,大面積的繡花,細緻的織帶緄邊,中國式的輪廓線條,展現人文之美,沒有多餘的裝飾,細膩的車功,適合各式體型的版型,實穿大方。灰色低調的蓮花刺繡,立領外有傳統盤釦,如葉中水珠,在沉穩中多了秀氣,整體看起來端莊而嫻柔。古詩云「看取蓮花淨,方知不染心」,即以「蓮花」不染污穢、安靜嫻雅的特質,象徵人性在紛擾的環境中,依然能潔身自愛的德行。

「人格昇華,需有成人之美、包容之德。」一個人由內而外的散發美感和氣質,是要從淨化身心做起。「蓮花」就是一股淨化人心的清流,象徵著環保、清廉與祥和。蓮音同「廉」,因此有清廉之喻,含有持守有節、不貪不求之意;而蓮又稱荷,荷音同「和」,含有吉祥和合之意。傳薪包容系列,藉由清淡雅緻的「蓮花」圖案,傳遞淨化大地、淨化心靈的意涵,更代表著對祥和社會以及美好未來的期許。

人文愛灑科技企業 菩提林立愛心湧現

圖說:聯華電子執行長顏博文師兄(左)致贈感恩結緣品予大愛感恩科技執董李鼎銘師兄(右),致贈的涵意非禮品本身,而是無形的致意與感恩,感恩能以「品人文,涵福慧,傳大愛」的人文精神傳遞給每位在場同仁,深表肯定與讚嘆。(攝影者:聯華電子職工福利委員會)台灣電子科技大廠---聯華電子、旺宏電子,特邀大愛感恩科技分享綠色環保與企業社會責任的落實,透過執董 李鼎銘師兄生動與感動的分享,在場的高級主管與同仁參與的不只是一場講座,而是感受如同一場人文愛灑、心靈饗宴,洗滌內心與淨化人心,同時也暸解一般企業講求業績分毫必爭的激烈競爭下,還有這獨負有使命感的“ 大愛感恩科技的綠色環保社會企業“ 為台灣社會來打拼及付出。

『一切都是好因緣!』,大愛感恩科技於11月、12月分別前往聯電 (南科廠/新竹廠)與主管、同仁分享,會有如此的因緣,即是聯電執行長 顏博文的夫人( 吳玫芬師姊),於去年在社區師兄師姊的邀請下,參與了七月吉祥月的活動,看著台前由108位師兄合心組隊的「行願法船」,被其中堅定的信心與願力所震撼,因而鼓勵顏博文師兄參加新竹地區「行願法船」的演繹。唐朝鑑真大和尚的東渡日本把佛法傳到日本的堅定「行願」精神,也深深絡印在顏博文心中。


圖說:旺宏電子邀約大愛感恩科技於新竹科學園區分享,與現場互動一家親,同仁像是從地湧現的菩薩,個個主動與執董 李鼎銘師兄進行Q&A。大愛感恩科技以科技結合慈悲,以環保結合愛心,以人文結合公益,期許成為世界環保愛心品牌的典範。(攝影者:廖栗瑄)顏博文師兄在接下聯電執行長一職後,由於期盼能實踐  上人「淨化人心、社會祥和、天下無災難」的三好願,積極的定期與不定期邀請社區志工,到公司舉辦愛灑與人文講座活動,大愛感恩科技在三次的分享中,部門主管與各部同仁參與近500位,每一場的分享都是「因為你 因為我」,才能彼此共結善緣,只要現場的一個人被一句話、一個影像所感動,進而想行善入人群、回饋社會,這樣的分享就是值得了。即有一位聯華電子專職的消防大隊隊員感動的分享,希望未來能投入慈濟志工見習的行列,進入慈濟大家庭、人間菩薩招生。

圖說:大愛感恩科技公司秉持「大愛眾生,感恩大地」的精神,是個無私愛心的公益平台,從環保菩薩資源回收、到實業家發揮專業良能的愛心接力、接續回饋社會,期盼成為拋磚引玉的先鋒,帶動更多有心投入環保的實業與團體,善盡社會企業責任。(攝影者:攝影者:廖栗瑄)執董 李鼎銘師兄會進入旺宏電子分享,以“續物命 造福慧”的主題,共同“化腐朽為神奇,化不可能為可能”,將慈濟環保人文精神帶入科技業。 要拯救地球,就是要先救心,啟發人人心中的愛,發揮「心室效應」,災難時刻,正是造福時刻,啟動一分愛,恆持一念善,讓「來不及」成為「來得及」。誠如靜思語所言:「疼愛大地,就是疼愛眾生」;「人人有愛,天、地、人就能調和,萬物自然生機蓬勃」。但願人人凝聚善念,即時行善,落實低碳生活,愛護地球,天下無災,人人才能安居樂業。
