COMPANY PROFILE
About HTC
HTCbringsbrilliancetolifethroughleadinginnovationinsmartmobiledeviceandexperiencedesign.Beginningwith
a vision to put a personal computer in the palm of our customers' hands, we have led the way in the evolution from
palmPCtosmartphone,andarenowapplyingthatsameinnovativeapproachtoconnecteddevicesandvirtualreality.
ThePursuitofBrillianceisattheheartofeverythingwedo,inspiringbest-in-classdesignandgame-changingmobile
andvirtualrealityexperiencesforconsumersaroundtheworld.AtHTC,thePursuitofBrillianceistheimpulse
tocreate,toventureintotheunknownwithanunwaveringdedicationtobringinnovativedesigntolife.Itpushes
us every day to re-imagine new ways to connect the world, our consumers, and their pursuits in ways never before
thought possible.
An Unending Curiosity
AtHTC,wegowhereothershaven'tthoughtto.Breakingdownbarriersandcreatingindustryfirstsisalargepartof
our history, which is why HTC has become synonymous with innovation, engineering breakthroughs, and designing
the future of human communications as we continue to expand into uncharted product territories.
An Unyielding Resilience
Strong character is at our core. Award-winning vision requires taking risks and challenging convention. From the
very beginning, resilience has been at the heart of our creative spirit. To this day, we stay committed to our pursuit,
believing that the greatest ideas transcend temporary recognition: they influence behavior, shape lives, and inspire
new thinking.
A Refined Approach
We hold our ideas and our products to a higher set of standards. That is why we design for performance over popularity
– and our partners have taken notice. Other industry leaders come to us because they understand that we create great
products with an eye for design and mind for engineering that's celebrated by the industry and customers alike.
A Real Impact
Itisourbeliefthattechnology'spurposehasalwaysbeentobringhumanitytogethertoovercomeandconquer
difficult challenges. That is why we always design our technology to generate a real impact – to serve a greater, human
purpose that every single human being can benefit from.
A Greater Purpose
HTC takes a broader approach to serving society and making life better. We believe that we can make more of
a difference looking beyond the obvious, reaching out to people and enabling them to make a difference, and in
improving the way we do things.
Our strengths in design are not limited to creating great looking hardware. Our standards extend to our manufacturing
processes as well. That's why our factories are among the most environmentally responsible in the world, and why our
offices have earned global acclaim, setting the gold standard in energy efficiency.
We have also expanded our environmental initiatives to shape the entire customer experience. Our product packaging
isprimarilymadeoffast-renewablematerialssuchasbambooandbagasse.In2013,theHTCOne(M7)wasthefirst
smartphone in the world built to international specifications of complete carbon footprint and lifecycle assessments.
That’s an industry first we’re particularly proud of.
At HTC, we do all of these things in the knowledge that we're always creating for the future. To that end, we realize that
bringing the future to life ultimately rests in the hands of our youth. Through the HTC Foundation and our Summer
Family Camp we provide humanitarian and social support to those most in need while also assisting in the teaching
and development of a strong sense of character and social values in youth. We believe that the future is for everyone,
which is why we strive to ensure that every child has the opportunity to be part of the next generation of leaders and
visionaries.
Thisevolutionarypathisapieceofthemuchlargerjourneyweaimtotakeinthefuture.In2014,weexpanded
intonewcategorieswiththeHTCRE™camera.In2016,weunveiledUAHealthBox™,whichbringsaninnovative
approachtofitnesstechnology,andHTCVive™thatprovidesusersthemostimmersivevirtualrealityexperience.It
is important to remember what brought us to where we are now, and why we do the work we do. From our people to
ourproductsandoursocialandenvironmentalinitiatives,thePursuitofBrilliancerepresentstheguidingphilosophy
that has shaped and will continue to shape HTC as a global organization.
