DA.AI Technology is now five years old. On December 10, DA.AI celebrates its fifth anniversary at Guandu Tzu Chi Office. The anniversary kicked off with a review of the international relief missions carried out by the Tzu Chi Foundation in every corner of the world where help is needed. Though the weather is bad, our hearts are warm seeing that love, compassion and care are spread all over the world. Tzu Chi volunteers provided hot food for locals, and cooperated with the Food Bank. Kids in Tainan’s Tzu Chi Kindergarten planted and sold vegetables, and donated all profit to charity. Being part of this circle of love, on this special day, DA.AI Technology presented “2013 Sustainability Report” to a representative of Master Cheng Yen to reiterate its core mission of “compassionate technology” through implementing Corporate Social Responsibility, with an aim of bringing positive impacts on the society, environment and economics.
The “Cash for work” program carried out by Tzu Chi volunteers has indeed been a huge motivator in encouraging everyone to contribute in rebuilding the local infrastructure and communities. DA.AI Technology has organized a “Touching hearts filled with love” program as a mean of raising consciousness and encouraging more people everywhere to assist in the Philippines’ rebuilding efforts. DA.AI Technology donate all retail sales revenue, donations from DA.AI’s staff and supporters, as well as the “SMEs’ Research Innovation Prize” of NT $300,000 received from the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
A representative of the Tzu Chi Foundation, Brother Hsieh Jingui gave a thank-you speech to the audience and all DA.AI Technology’s supporters, “Thinking back of five years ago when DA.AI Technology was just established, there were countless doubts on the feasibility of running such a none-profit business. Now, DA.AI Technology not only shows its excellence in creating such a unique social-welfare platform, but also, most importantly, proudly serving as a role model for public, schools and corporate, in promoting and implementing environmental protection and social responsibility.”
Taiwan’s Industrial Development Bureau, Minister Shen Rongjin shared that, “In the past, Taiwan’s textile industry is one of the major contributors of foreign exchange, but it has now deteriorated due to the shifting of the global industry trends and competitiveness from cheap-labor intensive countries. Therefore, corporate and government should cooperate more intensively towards manufacturing green products, advancing green technologies, and thereby green living. Save our Mother Nature has been the one and only target we should focus on nowadays. We are really grateful that in Taiwan, there are so many compassionate entrepreneurs and volunteers who are willing to shoulder this responsibility. On this special occasion, we thank DA.AI Technology and all its supporters, and hope this spirit will be lasting eternally, creating an everlasting purifying stream. Hand in hand, we shall create a sustainable world.”
