Huawei has been recognized on Carbon Disclosure Project’s (CDP) A-list as the best for its performance and transparency of disclosures on climate change.
CDP, which is the leading international non-profit organization that supports companies, cities, states, and regions as they measure and manage their risks and opportunities on climate change, has placed Huawei on its Climate change ‘A List’ as the only firm from mainland China to get the accolade.
Not limited to that, CDP also granted Huawei an “Excellent Environmental Leadership Award”.
According to CDP, Huawei adheres to the concept of ‘Tech for a Better Planet’. Huawei makes use of technology to foster green development and combat climate change.
Huawei appreciating CDP for the recognition mentioned that, in terms of ICT technologies, its tools are powerful for reducing carbon emissions, promoting renewable energy, contributing to a circular economy and protecting nature.
In its own operations, Huawei strives to promote energy conservation and emission reduction, as well as to use more renewable energy.
Also, Huawei’s Digital Power business focuses on areas such as clean power generation, electrification of transport and green ICT infrastructure to facilitate the global energy transition.
By the end of 2022, Huawei helped its customers generate over 695.1 billion kWh of green power and reduce customers’ power consumption by 19.5 billion kWh, which was equivalent to avoiding nearly 340 million tons of CO2 emissions.
In addition, Huawei incorporated the concept of circular economy that tackles global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, waste and pollution into its product life cycle management, from product design to end-of-service life.
“We are committed to using more eco-friendly materials and greener packaging, lowering carbon emissions in our processes, and producing more durable products that reduce waste.
“To complement our own efforts, we work with partners such as environmental protection organizations and scientific research institutions, to harness technology in innovative ways to protect forests, wetlands, oceans, and nature as a whole.”

Dexter Galvin, the Global Director of Corporations and Supply Chains at Carbon Disclosure Project’s (CDP), congratulated Huawei for its performance and efforts to help curb issues relating to climate change.
“Environmental transparency is the first vital step towards a net-zero and nature positive future. In a year of ever-increasing environmental concerns around the world from extreme weather to unprecedented losses to nature, the need for transformational, urgent and collaborative change is more critical than ever.
“As CDP continues to raise the bar on what qualifies as climate, forests and water leadership, we hope to see the ambitions and actions of companies on the A-List. We as well encourage companies wanting a place on the A-List to imitate the positive activities of those already on it.”
