How to enhance competitiveness while protecting the
environment?
While bringing convenience and efficiency to people's work and lives, the ICT
industry is also facing huge pressure related to energy conservation and emissions
reduction. Statistics show that the annual CO2 emissions of global ICT devices are
as much as 860 million tons, almost equaling that of the aviation industry. It is for
this reason that operators need to save energy and reduce carbon emission as part
of their commitment to social responsibility.
Therefore, it has become vital for operators to integrate social responsibilities
with business activities and translate investments in environmental protection into
business competitive advantages.
Huawei Solution
-
"Green" competitiveness
through enhanced energy
efciency
Through our "Green Huawei, Green Communications, Green World" program,
Huawei is committed to ensuring harmony between technological development,
environmental and economic benets. Environmental protection is incorporated
into our end-to-end solutions, covering base station sites, equipment rooms,
transmission and supply chains. Our product offerings help operators reduce
energy consumption by over 30% compared with traditional solutions,
helping operators substantially reduce operational expenses while enhance
competitiveness.
The substantial decreases in the power consumption of telecom equipment have
made it possible to adopt new energy sources as power supplies in our industry.
Our solar/wind power solutions and solar/diesel solutions, which are part of our
focus on Green programs, have been widely applied in the mobile base stations
deployed in China, Africa and the Middle East.
As part of our commitment to environmentally sensitive developments in our
industry, Huawei works with GeSI and other industry conservation groups to
promote utilization of alternative energy sources, environmental protection, and
research on the social impacts of the ICT industry.
