Huawei recently published its 2018 Sustainability Report, highlighting its efforts in achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), by building a sustainable and more inclusive ecosystem with its industry partners and executing its own sustainability strategies.
Published 11 consecutive times, the 2018 report explains Huawei’s four strategies for sustainability: digital inclusion, security and trustworthiness, environmental protection, and a healthy and harmonious ecosystem.
At the launch event for the report, Liang Hua, Chairman of HUAWEI, said, “Huawei has been creating value for its customers through innovation. We are doing everything we can to bridge the digital divide and meet the world’s needs for connectivity,” Liang continued, “We want to make digital services more affordable and equally accessible to all, and to do our part in contributing to social and economic development.”
Liang also explained that environmental protection is also a key component of Huawei’s sustainable development initiatives. Liang added, “Energy efficiency has become a major consideration for future communications networks.
We have to use less energy to transmit more data, and reduce the overall energy consumption of power systems.
ICT technologies can help.” Liang went on to say that Huawei has made many innovations in the course of its 5G research, product development, and engineering. The company has managed to reduce the power consumption per 5G site to 20 percent less than the industry average.
This has been made possible by the new Huawei chipsets, system software, professional services, and advanced hardware and heat dissipation technologies. These innovative technologies have made the company’s 5G more energy-efficient. With the right solutions in place, Huawei’s 5G will be a green technology.
