Who is Huawei?
Huawei is a leading global information and
communications technology (ICT) solutions provider.
Driven by responsible operations, ongoing innovation,
and open collaboration, we have established a
competitive ICT portfolio of end-to-end solutions in
telecom and enterprise networks, devices, and cloud
computing. Our ICT solutions, products, and services
are used in more than 170 countries and regions,
serving over one-third of the world's population. With
more than 170,000 employees, Huawei is committed to
enabling the future information society, and building a
Better Connected World.
What do we offer the world?
We create value for our customers. Together with
telecom carriers, Huawei has built over 1,500 networks,
helping over one-third of the world's population connect
to the Internet. Together with our enterprise customers,
we employ agile enterprise networks, including open
cloud networks, to drive efficient operations and agile
innovation across domains like Safe City, finance,
transportation, and energy. With our smart devices
and smartphones, we are improving people's digital
experience in work, life, and entertainment.
We promote industry development. Huawei
advocates openness, collaboration, and shared
success. Through joint innovation with our partners
and peers we are expanding the value of information
and communication technology to establish a robust
and symbiotic industry ecosystem. Huawei actively
participates in over 300 standards organizations,
industry associations, and open source communities,
having submitted over 43,000 proposals to drive
standardization and pave the way for more effective
collaboration. We have joined forces with industry
partners to innovate in emerging domains like cloud
computing, software-defined networking (SDN),
network functions virtualization (NFV), and 5G.
Together, we are promoting ongoing, collaborative
industry development.
We boost economic growth. Huawei generates
tax revenues, boosts employment, and stimulates the
development of the ICT value chain in the countries
where we operate. Perhaps more importantly, we
deliver innovative ICT solutions that drive the digital
transformation of all industries, thereby fostering
economic growth and greatly improving the quality of
people's lives.
We drive sustainable development. As a responsible
corporate citizen, Huawei has made a significant
contribution to bridging the digital divide. We are
keenly aware of the importance of telecommunications
in emergency response situations: Facing Ebola-affected
areas in West Africa, nuclear contamination after the
Japanese tsunami, and the massive earthquake that
struck Sichuan, China, we hold fast in disaster zones
to help restore communications networks and ensure
the reliable operation of critical telecom equipment.
To further promote sustainability, we develop the next
generation of ICT talent with our global Seeds for the
Future program, in which we give university students
the opportunity to visit China, receive training, and gain
first-hand experience in the ICT industry.
We provide dedicated employees with a strong
growth platform. Inspiring dedication is one of
Huawei's core values, and it manifests itself in many
ways. We assess employees and select managers
based on their results, as well as the extent of their
responsibilities. We provide our teams with a global
development platform, giving young team members
the opportunity to shoulder greater responsibilities and
accelerate their careers. In this way, we have enabled
more than 170,000 employees to yield ample returns
for their individual efforts, and gain memorable life
experience.
What do we stand for?
For the past 28 years, hundreds of thousands of Huawei
people have maintained an unwavering focus on our
core business, refusing to cut corners or pursue other
forms of short-sighted opportunism. With a solid,
practical approach to everything we do, we have
invested patiently, amassing the long-term, focused
effort that leads to great moments of technological
breakthrough. Our ability to maintain this strategic
focus boils down to our core values of staying customer-
centric, inspiring dedication, persevering, and growing
by self-reflection.
The digital era has been generous. We will make the
most of the historic opportunities it has presented us,
and boldly forge ahead to build a Better Connected
World.
