Digital transformation and sustainable development are closely linked
Regarding the challenges brought by the globalization trend of sustainable development to the digital transformation of enterprises, Dean Mao believes that sustainable development provides more impetus and opportunities for digital transformation, rather than challenges. "Digital transformation and sustainability are closely linked, and the goals of both are essentially the same," he explains. He emphasized that if sustainable development is not emphasized, then the goal of digital transformation is to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and enhance customer value. When we talk about sustainable development, we need to achieve goals such as environmental sustainability, energy conservation and emission reduction, and carbon neutrality, and digital transformation is the most effective and sustainable starting point, which provides more impetus and motivation for digital transformation.
Dean Mao further pointed out that sustainable development offers significant opportunities for digital transformation. As society pays more attention to sustainable development, enterprises will pay more attention to environmental and social responsibility, which will promote the development of digital transformation, because digital transformation is the best means to achieve these sustainable development goals, and it is a key way to promote enterprise innovation and enhance competitiveness. Through the use of digital technology, companies can optimize production processes, improve energy efficiency, reduce resource waste, and achieve environmental sustainability and social responsibility. AUO has set a very good example in this regard. "The more emphasis is placed on sustainability, the stronger the momentum for digital transformation," he said. ”

The Institute is an enabling platform for cross-border innovation
As the Honorary President of AUO's Digital Enterprise Sustainability Research Institute, President Mao said that the Institute is the builder of the industry-university-research platform, so that the participants on the platform and sustainable development stakeholders, such as enterprises, universities and other institutions, can effectively organize to bring the needs and best practices of enterprises to the platform, and integrate the learning and training of universities into the platform. What institutions can't accomplish alone, achieve cross-border innovation and jointly empower sustainable development.
Dean Mao's expectations are also the mission and vision of AUO's Digital Enterprise Sustainability Research Institute. Through the Academic Committee, the Industry Committee and the Science and Technology Innovation Committee, the Institute of Enterprise Sustainable Development brings together a group of experts who are committed to promoting the sustainable development of enterprises, and cooperates with academic experts from universities and practical experts from enterprises to jointly develop best practice cases, digital methods and key technology application innovations that combine theory with practice, and integrate knowledge and action. With sustainable operation, sustainable environment and sustainable talents as the main direction, we will build a sustainable development model of the enterpriseThrough the integration of knowledge system and digital technology, best practice guidance, and employee capacity reengineering, we will create a sustainable development roadmap for enterprises.

The Institute plays an important role in digital transformation
For the new form of enterprise empowerment of the research institute, Dean Mao believes that the research institute will play an important role in the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry. He emphasized that transformation is essentially organizational change. It is the first time for most enterprises to do digital transformation, which means that digital transformation is a high-risk and challenging undertaking that requires strong learning ability and execution ability of enterprise managers, and at the same time, the support of external empowerment is particularly important, and AUO Digital Sustainability Research Institute is such an enabler.
First of all, AUO's Digital Sustainability Research Institute can effectively empower enterprises in transition through its accumulated practices, best practices, and developed tool platforms. These practices** and best practices have been verified by AUO's own practice, and are highly feasible and practical. Sharing these practical experiences with enterprises through the research institute can help them avoid detours, avoid the risks they may encounter, better carry out digital transformation, and improve efficiency and competitiveness.
Secondly, by tracking the progress of digital transformation in various industries, the institute can refine and extract the best practices of different industries and develop into an ecological partner of the institute. This will not only enrich the Institute's learning platform and tool methodology platform, but also help enterprises better understand the digital transformation and sustainable development best practices of different industries, so as to better realize their own digital transformation.
In addition, the Institute for Corporate Sustainability is also able to cultivate more talents with sustainable development concepts through cooperation with universities to carry out sustainable development education projects. These talents will bring a broader and deeper transformative force to the enterprise, and promote the enterprise to achieve greater breakthroughs in digital transformation and sustainable development. By bringing the best practices of the Institute into the university classroom, more students and administrators can understand the importance and approach of digital transformation. This can not only provide more knowledge and practical experience for future managers, but also attract more talents and resources for the institute, forming a closed-loop effect. Dean Mao said: "We need to combine the high-quality educational resources of universities with the practical experience of enterprises to jointly cultivate a new generation of leaders with the concept of sustainable development, so as to lead enterprises to better integrate into the global tide of sustainable development." ”
Regarding the future development prospects of the Institute, Dean Mao said that it is necessary to continue to deepen the integration of digital transformation and sustainable development. He stressed the importance of building a sustainable ecosystem: "Through cross-border cooperation and the construction of innovation platforms, we can integrate the resources of all parties to form an ecosystem that promotes and develops together. This will help push Chinese companies to set a benchmark in the field of global sustainable development. ”
