Bridging the Digital Divide
Over the past few years, while the fast evolving telecom industry has greatly facilitated global economic growth, many developing economies, due in large part to low telecom penetration, have seen far fewer economic benefits than those in the developed world. Today, there is an increasing link between the growing demands for connectivity and the development of economies. However, telecommunication coverage varies significantly throughout the world – and the gap is widening – across people with different demographics and geographic origins, and the digital divide between these groups is ever-growing.
We are devoted to removing the digital divide, in order to provide equal access to connectivity and communications for all.
Environmental Protection
Environmental protection is a priority for Huawei and we have set a goal of"Green Huawei, Green Communications, Green World", which is shaping all aspects of our operations.
Environmental protection and energy savings are key elements in the planning, design, R&D and manufacturing of our products and solutions, and they are key performance metrics for our entire company.
Contributions to Local Community
As an international company, Huawei understands that its operations are closely linked with the social-economic environment of the communities where we operate. As such, we are committed to giving back to those local communities. As an example of the implementation of that commitment, Huawei is playing an active role in promoting public welfare, education and disaster relief.
Supply Chain
Huawei also incorporates CSR requirements into the certification, selection and management of our suppliers. We have instituted and enacted a supplier responsibility verification program, and the training and certification of procurement employees and suppliers is based on the requirements of SA8000/TL9000/ISO14001 in order to ensure the effective execution of our CSR policies.
Employees
Dedicated and passionate employees are Huawei's most valuable asset. In recognition of their contributions, Huawei has established policies that ensure that employees are given meaningful benefits in such areas as growth opportunities and compensation, among others.
Huawei has designed a Dual Career Development Path for all employees. This program offers both managerial and professional paths, allowing every employee to choose an appropriate career goal for their future development.
Huawei pays particular attention to our employees' physical and mental health. As part of our focus on promoting the well-being of our employees, we have established a wide variety of clubs and associations designed to enrich the extracurricular life of all of employees.
