Message from the Chairman

In these years, technology tides have been driving the world forward, reshaping people’s lifestyles and continuously challenging people’s imagination about the future. At the core of the Internet technology industry, D-Link is a participant of time evolution, and a practitioner shouldering great responsibilities.I always believe that while it is important to grasp technologies and trends, adopting technology in a responsible manner is the only value we can leave for our descendants.

By reviewing every step in the past, I often reflect : what kind of mark do we leave for the next generation through every choice and action we make now ? Whenever I ask myself this question, a poem I read when I was young always emerges in my mind :

Who are you, reader, reading my poems an hundred years hence?
I cannot send you one single flower from this wealth of the spring, one single streak of gold from yonder clouds. Open your doors and look abroad.
From your blossoming garden gather fragrant memories of the vanished flowers of an hundredyears before.

In the joy of your heart may you feel the living joy that sang one spring morning, sending its glad voice across an hundred years.

— The Gardener 85. By Rabindranath Tagore —

We cannot foresee the world after a hundred years, but every action planned carefully now, is the seed planted for the future. I firmly believe that sustainable development not only relies on the refinement of technology, but also on the robustness of governance and organization. The diversity and professionalization of the Board of Directors, as well as the long-term cultivation of talent, are the essential foundation for us to move toward a sustainable future.

In 2024, we have upheld the vision of “Leading Smart Living and Creating Sustainable Value” by integrating environmental care, social engagement, and corporate governance into our operational strategy. Whether it is optimizing the production process, promoting the application of environmentally friendly materials, or deepening social welfare and caring for local communities, D-Link has fulfilled its corporate citizenship commitment with steady and solid steps.

In the future, D-Link will continue to work with stakeholders to cultivate sustainable development and fulfill corporate responsibility. In terms of the environment, taking “D-Link Green” as the pillar, we reduce the possible negative impact on the environment during the design,function, material,and packaging stages of the product life cycle. In the aspect of society, we continue the core of “more local, more welfare to the public”, to cultivate various social engagement projects. Internally, we have strengthened our career development plans and cultivated talent for the industry. For the governance, we also uphold ethics and transparency to create shareholder profits and are responsible for our stakeholders.

Sustainability is not a goal to be achieved in one step, but rather a marathon that spans generations.As mentioned in Tagore’s poem, the joy of transcending time and space underlies in our every current choice and action. Every D-Linker is a companion of this path, and takes on the mission of being common wellness to the environment, society, and the future of the enterprise. I wish that every seed of hope we plant today can be turned into warm light in the future and leave a touching and beautiful memory for the world in the next hundred years.
