Healthy and Harmonious Ecosystem
For more than 30 years, we have worked closely with
our customers and partners to bring communications
technologies out of ivory towers and labs and put
them to practical use in cities and remote regions the
world over. By doing this, we are bridging the digital
divide and contributing to the advancement of human
civilization. Today we find ourselves in a business
environment full of uncertainty. We are working more
closely with our ecosystem partners to contribute
more value to society. Our dedicated employees are
the foundation we rely on, and we are very concerned
with their health and safety and personal growth.
We conduct business with integrity and adhere
to standard business ethics. We believe that legal
compliance is a bulwark against the uncertainties of
international politics. We have made sustainability
a key part of our procurement strategy and work
with our partners across the supply chain to build a
E-waste Recycling
According to the UN’s
Global E-waste Monitor
2020
, e-waste has become the world’s
fastest-growing domestic waste stream. It
is part of Huawei’s social responsibility to
recycle as much electronic waste as possible
and reduce the impact of our products on the
environment. We have built a global recycling
program for device products and scaled up our
product trade-in program. Over the course of
2020, Huawei recycled more than 4,500 tons
of e-waste through its nearly 2,000 recycling
stations in 48 countries and regions around the
world.
When we receive e-waste, we first categorize the
products so that we can most efficiently recycle
them and recoup their full value. Electronics that
can be refurbished are handed to our partners
for resale through official sales channels. Since
2015, we have resold nearly 500,000 devices.
Waste that must be scrapped is given to qualified
third parties who can disassemble and dispose of
them in an environmentally friendly manner, to
minimize environmental pollution.
Contributing to a Circular Economy
In a linear economy, we acquire materials from
natural resources and bury or incinerate them when
they are no longer needed. Under this model, we are
consuming resources that are already very limited,
and burdening our environment. Huawei is committed
to exploring how to contribute more to the circular
economy, reducing our reliance on natural resources,
and providing customers with more environmentally
friendly products. To reduce the pressure on our
Huawei’s four-step trade-in process
environment, Huawei continues to improve its product
designs, reduce the weight and size of product
packaging, and use fiber-based packaging instead of
plastic packaging, so that the packaging materials can
be more easily disposed of. We have also established
a global recycling program to extract residual value
from electronic waste, which will help us reduce our
consumption of resources, and contribute to the
circular economy.
healthy and harmonious business ecosystem. Huawei
is an active, productive member of the communities
where we operate. We actively fulfill our community
responsibilities and help local communities to advance.
Caring for Employees
We rely on our dedicated employees to support our
sustainable growth. We have a positive, diverse, and
open approach to managing people. We fast-track
outstanding employees and offer them a stage on
which they can maximize their value. We ensure that
all kinds of people find the roles that best suit them,
maximize their contributions while in their prime,
and get the rewards they deserve. We attach equal
importance to monetary and non-monetary incentives.
We are working to create a warm, relaxed, and
efficient workplace.

Offering Employees a Choice of Career Paths
We offer clear career development opportunities,
with two distinct career paths for our employees
to follow: the technical expert path and the
manager path. If an employee wants to be an
expert, they can follow a ladder that goes from
senior professional to expert and then to leader
of a technical field. If an employee is looking to
become a manager, they can start as a first-line
manager, then move on to project leader or
functional leader, and finally a business leader.
These two paths can also overlap, depending
on the company’s business needs and the
employee’s career plan. Whichever path an
employee takes, manager or expert, they can
contribute their unique value and become an
integral part of the company.
As our employees climb the career ladder, they
are given plenty of opportunities for training
and promotion so they can hone their skills
and realize their potential. In 2020, we offered
about 11,000 face-to-face training courses that
were attended by more than 128,000 employees,
including more than 14,000 local employees.
More than 200,000 people, including 20,000 local
hires, took our online courses. After the outbreak
of COVID-19, Huawei invested more in online
training for new employees outside China. In
2020, we provided high-quality online orientation
training and rich online learning resources for
more than 3,400 new employees in 13 regions.
Other training programs, like hands-on training,
practice in real projects, training in specialized
skills, and mentorship programs, have continued
to increase the expertise of our local hires
outside China.
Ensuring Employee Health and Safety During the COVID-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 posed a serious threat to people’s
physical and mental health. To ensure the health
and safety of our employees, Huawei took swift
action after the outbreak of COVID-19. We
developed solutions for our subsidiaries in the
countries and regions hit the hardest by the
pandemic. Our efforts included:
• Set up a dedicated team and developed
preventive measures for day-to-day activities.
• Quickly reserved sufficient supplies of
protective equipment and shipped more
than 620 batches of supplies to Huawei
subsidiaries in over 120 countries and
regions.
• Gave medical insurance for COVID-19 to
family members accompanying our expatriate
employees; increased the sum insured for
employees affected by work-related or
infectious diseases, and introduced more
health insurance suppliers to ensure high
quality employee insurance services.
• Developed a comprehensive treatment
program to handle COVID-19 cases 24/7
that includes local medical resources, online
platforms, and support from Chinese experts.
To minimize the fear caused by the pandemic,
we coordinated internal and external resources
and organized more than 30 lectures on
preventive health measures. More than 100,000
staff members from over 130 countries and
regions attended these lectures. We also provided
counseling for over 3,500 employees who
suffered from COVID-19-related anxiety.
