Operations in Compliance with Applicable
Laws and Regulations
Huawei abides by ethical business practices,
conforms to international conventions as well as
laws of local countries, and operates with integrity.
We adhere to the Huawei Business Conduct
Guidelines, implement “transparent procurement”
and “transparent sales”, and oppose bribery
and corruption. In addition, we advocate fair
competition and obey antidumping and antitrust
laws and regulations defined by local countries,
thereby creating a harmonious business ecosystem.
We have incorporated compliance management
into every business scenario. Our Legal Affairs
Dept provides legal guidance in export control,
cyber security, trade competition, human resource
management, and anti-bribery and anti-corruption
tasks. The department also identifies, assesses,
and warns internal and external legal risks, and
assists other business departments in ensuring
legal compliance during operations. To mitigate
risks related to intellectual property rights (IPR),
the department protects our own IPR while
respecting the rights of other intellectual property
holders and ensures that Huawei complies with
international IPR regulations.
Export Control
Huawei strictly abides by all applicable export
control laws and regulations enforced by Chinese
and international authorities. We effectively fulfill
our export control responsibilities and obligations,
and prioritize these obligations over Huawei’s
commercial interests.
To better honour our commitment to trade
compliance, Huawei has set up the Trade
Compliance & Customs Compliance Committee
and the Trade Compliance Office led by the Chief
Legal Affairs Officer. These organizations approve
and oversee the implementation of Huawei’s trade
compliance policies and ensure legal compliance to
the greatest extent possible in terms of policies,
organizations, and processes. Regarding projects
involving export control, we have established
a standard export control process in which we
carry out many export control measures, including
customer reviews, checks on ultimate purposes,
and investigations into risky factors. Through
these measures, we ensure our Internal Control
Program (ICP) is effectively implemented across
the company.
Huawei’s Trade Compliance Office
The Trade Compliance Office is tasked with
formulating and revising Huawei’s export control
policies; establishing the standard operations
procedures for export control; archiving documents
and information concerning export control; carrying
out publicity and training activities regarding
export control regulations and systems; performing
internal and external audits; and supervising and
guiding other business departments to meet export
control requirements in their business activities.
Focus on Managing Huawei’s Own Risks
Huawei has established a sustainability management
system to manage sustainability risks in a more
standard way. Through systematic assessments
