Supervisory Board
As Huawei's highest oversight body, the Supervisory Board exercises the authority of oversight on behalf of the company's shareholders. The Supervisory Board is responsible for the company's survival, development, and long-term prospects. Its core authorities are reflected in leader management, business reviews, and strategic vision. Through the observation of managers and cultivation of managerial candidates, the Supervisory Board promotes the development of leadership pipelines, aiming to ensure that the company has qualified successors. By establishing a rule-based, systematic oversight framework, the Supervisory Board comprehensively oversees matters such as the responsibility fulfillment of BOD directors and other executives, the company's operating and financial status, and compliance and internal control systems, gradually guiding the company to change from experience-based management to rule-based management and enabling businesses to operate freely within preset boundaries.
