Sustainable Supply Chain
In 2015, Huawei launched the Quality First strategy and fully embedded it into our procurement strategy,
procurement process, and supplier management. To urge our suppliers to continuously improve, we have adopted
the “Top Four Initiative”, which aims to achieve IT-based management, promote production automation, develop
employee expertise, and retain staff in key positions. Sustainability is Huawei’s key requirement for our products
and manufacturing process. In fact, it has become a key element of our product lifecycle, value chain operations,
and strategies for reducing costs and gaining differentiated competitive advantages. By emphasizing the business
benefits of sustainability, Huawei has built a competitive advantage and identified opportunities for customer
satisfaction, risk control, efficiency enhancement, and business innovation. In addition, Huawei has made continuous
improvements by analyzing the cost effectiveness of sustainability efforts. In 2015, we focused on the following
aspects as we managed supply chain sustainability:
■ Better cooperation with customers: Sustainability was further embedded into our procurement process. In
cooperation with our customers, we implemented joint audits and capability building projects, identified business
opportunities of sustainability, and explored innovative practices and business cases relating to sustainability.
Green Buildings
In 2015, Huawei began to pilot green building
concepts in our Global Compliance and Testing
Center (GCTC) on the Songshanhu Campus,
Guangdong, China. The new center has been
designed and constructed in accordance with world-
leading green standards, from site selection and
energy & water conservation to material utilization.
After conducting energy consumption analysis
and thermal simulation, we applied 13 leading
energy-efficient technologies at the center (see the

the Gold level of the US Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) and pass China’s Green
Building (3-Star) certification.
The new center will consume much less water
and electricity than our old buildings, and will be
less costly to maintain. Every year, the building is
expected to help us save CNY1.9 million in electricity
costs, and reduce 1,132.4 tons of CO2 emissions.
