13Message from the Chairwoman
Improving corporate governance
Driven by our core values of customer-centricity and
dedication, we have improved our corporate governance
system to maintain long-term effective growth.
In 2014, we gradually adjusted our business structure
to focus on three dimensions – customers, products,
and regions – and delegated more authority to the
field. Accordingly, we enhanced the operations and
capabilities of the BODs in our major subsidiaries to
better supervise compliance with local laws, regulations,
and business practices, thereby improving subsidiary
governance.
At the corporate level, our BOD has clarified our
strategic goal of becoming the leader in the ICT industry
and building a Better Connected World, and decided
on the major initiatives to achieve this goal. We have
discussed how to improve the corporate governance
system and its operating mechanisms. We have also
regularly evaluated the performance of BOD members
and provided them with training. These efforts will
enable our BOD to provide better guidance for corporate
strategy execution and business operations.
Building a Better Connected World
During all our transitions – from telephone exchanges
to broadband networks, from fixed networks to mobile
networks, from voice services to video services, and
from devices to clouds – we have remained focused on
our goal: providing ubiquitous broadband connectivity,
enabling agile innovations everywhere, and bringing a
superior experience to everyone at an affordable price.
With advanced ICT technologies and ideas, we will be
able to promote social progress and build a world that
connects all people and all things in cooperation with
our partners in the industry.
Finally, I would like to thank all Huawei employees and
their families, our customers and partners, as well as
industry organizations around the world. Let's work
together to build a Better Connected World.
Sun Yafang
Chairwoman of the Board
