Energy
By establishing and implementing the key performance indicators (KPIs) of Unit
Energy Consumption and Energy Conservation Quantity, Huawei has established
and optimized an energy management system. Huaweis energy management system
implements energy conservation and emissions reduction activities in infrastructure
construction, property management, management of lab electricity use, and
management of manufacturing energy consumption. Huawei focuses on improving
energy utilization, makes plans for energy conservation renovation projects, and
continuously improves the energy efficiency of office environments, including the
central air-conditioning system, lighting system, and office and lab equipment. The
power consumption of Huaweis global R&D equipment and production equipment
is centralized in the research centers and production facilities in China, which
together account for 91% of all Huawei employees in China and 68% of Huawei
global employees. At Huawei representative and local offices, the major resources
consumed are energy and water.
In 2011, the CO2 emissions from our research centers and production facilities
in China totaled 690,065 tons. This increase over 2010 emissions is due to two
factors:
1. Increase of about 32% in the total number of employees in China;
2. Increase in the size of our R&D facilities in Nanjing, Shanghai, and Beijing,
amounting to a total of 638,000 m
2
, which requires greater amounts of
power consumption, as well as natural gas for heating.

As a responsible enterprise, Huawei fully understands the need
to effectively treat and manage electrical and electronic waste.
According to the European Union (EU) Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment Directive and waste regulations of all
countries, we formulated a system for waste recycling to recycle,
reuse, and dispose of scrapped products and materials.
Huawei established a waste scrap disposal center in Shenzhen
and also jointly established regional scrap disposal platforms
with waste service providers in Latin America, Europe, Africa,
Asia Pacific, and China. This enabled us to provide one-stop
services to disassemble and recycle waste from Huawei, and
waste delegated by customers. This also enabled us to further
facilitate the follow-up of waste treatment until the process
is completed. We have successfully handled our waste in an
environmentally friendly manner.
In 2011

Ecological Benefits and Green Products
Lifecycle Analysis
Huaweis Lifecycle Analysis (LCA) process assesses a products entire lifecycle, from raw material procurement, parts manufacturing,
product processing, transportation, and usage, to product waste and recycling. Using the LCA, we can determine the impact of
each phase of the products life cycle on climate change and other aspects of the environment. We can identify key influencing
factors, from which we can take measures to reduce our overall environmental impact. In 2010, Huawei developed a quick
lifecycle assessment (Quick-LCA) tool for products, based on the product environment database, to ensure LCA assessment and
continuous improvement of products. In 2011, Huawei conducted an LCA for 35 types of products covering the range of our
main products with the help of the Quick-LCA tool. We focus on our LCA initiatives in the following areas:

Our research has shown that carbon emissions occur mostly
in products used for base stations in mobile networks and
broadband access in fixed networks. Based on our analysis of our
customers energy consumption, we are focusing on the need
for a more energy-efficient design of our networks: primarily our
access network, core equipment room, and transport network. In
2011, Huawei reduced its power consumption by implementing
various measures and developing energy-conservation soft
features during the operation of its base station. The reduction
in our power consumption has also led to a reduction in carbon
dioxide emissions and air pollution.

Green Broadband
According to Huaweis research, most energy consumption occurs
during narrow and broadband access, which accounts for over
50% of our total energy consumption. This is where we primarily
focus our energy conservation activities in fixed networks.
Based on a green design, whose goal was to produce less heat,
improve heat dissipation, and enhance heat resistance, in 2011,
the green broadband network with millions of nodes has the
capacity to save over 200 million kWh of electric power annually.
This savings is equivalent to the annual power consumption of
250,000 Chinese families. In the next three years, Huaweis
access network user ports will cut energy consumption by 30%
(700 million kWh) and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by
approximately 5.9 million tons.

introduction to Huawei, training programs on ICT basics, lab visits, and
interactions with Huawei employees.
In August 2011, Huawei cooperated with the UKs University of Southampton
and the Royal Holloway University of London, as well as Frances cole
Polytechnique. 14 college students were chosen for a 3-week internship in
China. It was an opportunity for these students to become better acquainted
with Huawei and extend their ICT knowledge. This project was supported
by local governments, such as the education department and was deeply
appreciated by the universities and students. One student participant
commented, I would recommend this internship program to others, as it was
really one of the most valuable and significant experiences of my life so far.
In 2012, Huawei will continue this program and cooperate with additional
colleges.

Principles of Huaweis Supplier CSR Agreement
1. All suppliers must operate in full compliance with the
laws, rules, and regulations of the countries in which
they operate.
2. All businesses must go beyond legal obligations by
drawing upon internationally recognized standards.
3. All businesses must be deployed and implemented as
per the agreement.
4. All suppliers must require their next tier suppliers to
acknowledge and implement the CSR principles in a
cascade effect throughout the supply chain.
5. Huawei reserves the right to audit our suppliers with
advance notice.
6. All suppliers must be certified by the international
standards of ISO14001 and OHSAS18001, and develop
management systems based on the SA8000 standard.
New Supplier Qualification
Huawei qualifies all new suppliers on their comprehensive
management systems, including their CSR compliance and
management system. We assign CSR experts to audit potential
supplier sites on their CSR management capabilities through
employee interviews, document review, on-site inspections, and
third-party information searches to assess the potential risks as
well as improvement opportunities. If deficiencies are found,
Huawei will require the suppliers to take corrective and preventive
actions in a timely manner. A candidate that fails to meet the CSR
requirements will not be accepted as a qualified supplier.
Ongoing Supplier Management
Huawei integrates CSR into our ongoing supplier management
process, giving priority to high-risk countries/regions, high-risk
suppliers and high-risk issues. In 2011, we optimized our supplier
CSR risk ranking tool in accordance with international standards
and guidance. Annually, we assess supplier CSR risks and identify
the risk level of each supplier. We manage our suppliers based
on their risk level, regularly audit high-risk supplier sites, and
audit those medium risk suppliers selected based on random
sampling approach in order to drive supplier self-management.
If problems occur, we will require the suppliers to take preventive
and corrective measures, and follow up on their improvement
progress until its closure.
Supplier Performance Management
Huawei incorporates CSR into our supplier performance
management programs and measures supplier CSR performance
based on the supplier audit results and improvement effect.
Huawei regularly reviews the CSR performance results with each
suppliers top management. We also communicate with strategic
suppliers, preferred suppliers, and approved suppliers about
their performance results on a quarterly, semi-yearly, and yearly
basis, respectively. For suppliers with better CSR performance,
Huawei will provide incentives to them, such as increasing their
procurement quota. For suppliers with poor CSR performance,
Huawei will decrease their procurement quota, restrict bidding
opportunities, or in a few special cases, terminate the business
relationship.
Case study
Conflict Minerals
Minerals such as tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (3TGs) which originate in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) or
adjoining countries are known as conflict minerals since the profits from their sale allegedly finance continued armed
conflicts in these countries. Huawei takes this issue very seriously and is actively addressing it.
The issue of conflict minerals is well known in the electronics and other industries, and is extremely complex. Resolution will
require the commitment and cooperation of businesses, governments and NGOs. Huawei neither procures nor supports the
use of conflict minerals and requires all suppliers not to procure conflict minerals. Huawei also asks suppliers to cascade this
requirement to sub-tier suppliers. In 2011, 441 key suppliers signed commitments not to procure or use conflict minerals.
Huawei continuously supports industry collaboration to address supply chain CSR issues. We continue to participate in
efforts with customers and suppliers through the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) to seek a sustainable solution to
the conflict minerals issue.
Huawei has incorporated CSR into our procurement process
and daily operations to the point where it is a vital part of the
normal business process and an integral part of the commercial
decision-making process.
As stated by the Chief Operation and Delivery Officer of
Huawei, Today, CSR is simply part of Huaweis DNA.
We will persist in embracing this spirit and work closely with
our suppliers to continuously promote the CSR management
capabilities of the global supply chain and effectively reduce
risks. As long as our suppliers demonstrate their efforts to
improve their CSR management capabilities, Huawei will
continue to support them.
As Huaweis chief procurement officer said, We all live on the
same planet, breathe the same air, and drink the same water.
It is up to all of us in business to go beyond our financial goals
of making profit and use our influence to cause our suppliers
to meet their social responsibilities as well.
Cooperation with NGO
Huawei participated in a Green Choice initiative facilitated by an NGO and applied
the environmental performance data of enterprises in China to our supplier
CSR management program. This NGO regularly collects nationwide enterprise
environmental performance data and maintains an online database, which is updated
on a monthly basis. By applying this database to our supplier qualification and
ongoing management process, we are able to quickly identify possible environmental
violations of our suppliers and push suppliers to correct them immediately.

corporate headquarter levels to solve customer complaints
in a prompt manner. We have also appointed a dedicated
customer satisfaction management team to drive the rapid
resolution of customer complaints and organize efforts to
effectively resolve common problems and problems with
management systems that have occurred. Moreover, we
have set up a dedicated work team to deal with crucial
customer complaints and coordinate internal resources
across the company to solve problems quickly.
Huawei takes the customer-first philosophy and customer
requirements into consideration when designing main business
processes in order to ensure that all customer requirements
and expectations are incorporated into the relevant processes
and addressed in a timely manner.
Huawei manages lhe end-lo-end process ol dealing
with customers technical issues through a requirement
management process and a consistent IT platform. We also
track the status of customer requirements in the end-to-
end process, raising customer requirements, incorporating
them into R&D version development and addressing the
requirements. Huawei has made the process of addressing
customers technical issues visible so that representative
offices and account departments can quickly track the

Manufacturing Safety
In 2011, Huawei promoted our I Want Safety management concept throughout
all manufacturing departments. This strategy involved establishing a multi-level safe
manufacturing inspection model in multiple locations and implementing regulations and
policies. In 2011, only four minor accidents occurred. There were no serious accidents.
The injury rate in 2011 was 0.15 per million working hours. Over the past three years,
the accident occurrence rate has been significantly reduced.
Quote from management:
Prevention is the main concern
of safe operations. We need to
develop a systematic safety
management model to raise
employees safety awareness. We
should carry out safety measures
in our work process to prevent
accidents and promote sustainable

In 2011, we combined our EHS management system and project
quality management system to create the Quality, Environment,
and Health & Safety (QEHS) management system.
In accordance with the management requirements for engineering
delivery safety at Huawei, we qualify all potential subcontractors.
Subcontractors who fail the qualification will not be used by
Huawei to provide services. Huawei also signs EHS agreements
with subcontractors, checks the safety of construction sites,
and rewards or penalizes subcontractors based on their safety
performance. We check all sites during the early phase of projects.
After the project implementation is stable, we randomly select
more than 20% of the sites for safety checks. Extra attention is
paid to checking the qualifications, personal protective equipment
(PPE), and training attendance of subcontractors construction
personnel.
Huawei requires directors at all levels and the EHS management
team to audit global projects to ensure that EHS management rules
and regulations are enforced and to convey Huawei executives
commitment to EHS. In 2011, we audited the QEHS management
status of 123 projects. For major projects, we developed monthly
reports to announce their EHS management progress.
To enhance employees safety awareness, we provided more than
220 safety training sessions and more than 130 safety knowledge
promotion campaigns at all levels (corporate headquarter, region,
and project team) in 2011. The training also included employees
of subcontractors.

Safe Operations
Workplace Health and Safety
Huawei has employed internationally recognized designers and
companies to construct industrial bases that meet construction
safety standards and health requirements inside and outside
China that increase the per capita floor area and public service
area and that ultimately create a sound work place for Huawei
employees.
We have increased our capital investment to improve existing
office environments, develop office environmental standards, and
conduct regular monitoring and analysis. We initiated projects to
eliminate adverse safety factors in the work place. Among all the
safety projects implemented in 2011, 49 were associated with
air quality, office lighting, noise, electromagnetic radiation, and
electrical safety.
Fire Control Safety
Huawei continues to emphasize the importance of fire control.
To help our employees better understand the Huawei Fire
Control Management Regulations (updated in 2011) and adhere
to the regulations in their daily work, Huawei formulated the
Fire Control Management Manual. We encourage all employees
at all levels to fulfill their fire control responsibilities and have
effectively avoided fire accidents through activities, such as
training, fire control inspection, and potential risk elimination.
No fire accidents occurred in 2011.
In 2011, we deployed 634 full-time and part-time fire security
personnel in the China Region. Some 77,291 personnel have
attended online fire control training, and all new employees
have completed the fire control training. We organized 605 fire
control promotion campaigns and developed and distributed
more than 30,000 safety manuals to our employees. We also
conducted 119 Fire Safety Promotion Week campaigns.
Through these efforts, we have effectively improved employees
fire safety awareness. By conducting fire inspections, electrical
testing, and smokestack examinations on a quarterly, monthly,
and daily basis, as well as before holidays, we promptly
exposed and reduced potential risks in 5,810 cases. In 2011,
we also organized 70 fire drills at 94 buildings. In the drills,
69,227 employees were evacuated, accounting for 86.5% of
the total employees on-site.
Huaweis 12th fire safety promotion week
Huawei always strives to offer a comfortable, healthy, and safe
work place for our employees.
Huawei subcontracts our power facilities management and
property management to industry-leading property management
companies. Equipment, such as elevators, heating, ventilation,
and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, power supply systems, and
fire control facilities, are regularly maintained and overhauled by
facility management companies to ensure that the air quality,
office lighting, and noise in the workplace comply with the
associated rules and regulations. Security personnel of property
management companies are required to observe their work
instructions and service etiquette to safeguard the personal
security and safety of Huawei and our employees. More than
2,500 property security personnel in the China Region were
trained before they began work.

Food Safety
In our bases in the China Region, Huawei outsourced catering
services to catering companies that provide meals for employees,
customers, and suppliers. Huawei has qualified, supervised, and
appraised our food suppliers based on the requirements of the
food safety management system. To improve our capability to
respond to food poisoning incidents, in 2011 we conducted
food poisoning drills in each representative office in China. Also,
to guide the representative offices outside China in internal
management standardization and ensure food safety, Huawei
standardized the management of cafeterias outside China, built
Vehicle Safety
In 2011, Huawei reinforced the safety management over Huawei-
owned and leased vehicles based on Huaweis requirements for
vehicle services worldwide:
1. We developed and implemented new standards for managing
vehicle procurement and driver selection. We checked the safety
of 1,100 vehicles and provided safety training for more than
1,600 drivers in the China Region;
2. We conducted traffic accident emergency drills in 10 offices
in the China Region. There were no severe accidents involving
Huawei-owned vehicles in 2011;
3. Among all 5,782 vehicles reported to be in use by overseas
representative offices, 193 have been used for more than eight
years or have been driven more than 200,000 kilometers.
Representative offices have reinforced their management of such
vehicles and replaced them in time to ensure vehicle safety;
4. We organized the 4th traffic safety promotion week with the
theme of Observe traffic rules and protect lives. More than
70,000 people were involved in the event.
Huaweis cafeteria Employees visit a cafeteria
food management platforms, and developed global processes for
managing these cafeterias.
To effectively oversee the quality of ingredients, Huawei set up
a dedicated project team to review the supply channels of bulk
ingredients. To date, we have finished certification of the supply
channels of bulk ingredients and acknowledgement of supplier
brands in Shenzhen and Dongguan. In 2012, we will expand the
operation to other regions.

Safe Operations
Emergency Response
Huawei established an emergency response team to help our employees
respond to natural disasters, accidents, and other emergencies. To improve
the efficiency of emergency handling, we developed a series of effective
countermeasures, including dealing with issues at the scene of an accident,
informing and consoling the families of injured persons, dealing with issues
after the accident, and communicating with employees internally.
Product and Service Safety
Man-Machine Engineering
The main principle of man-machine engineering is to ensure all products comply
with the applicable health and safety standards. Huawei established a design team
to implement man-machine engineering. The team adopted the user-scenario-based
product safety design concept and incorporated the concept throughout the product
development cycle of planning, designing, developing, testing, and manufacturing.
We analyzed user scenarios that included the environment in which products are
used, user skills, user habits, and user behavior when using the products. By 2011,
we had analyzed user scenarios of major carriers in 17 countries in North America,
Europe, Africa, and Asia. Our analysis helped us understand the engineering habits
and user skills of people in these countries. In 2012, we will expand the operation
to more countries.

iSite
Huawei developed iSite to assist Customer V in developing wireless base stations in South Africa and helped carriers reduce
the size of sites in order to minimize the negative impact on equipment users. The advantages of iSite include:
The loolprinl ol lhe inslalled slruclure is smaller, and lhere is no need lo buy a large land area lor lhe wireless base
station.
Through modular design, generally only lwo people are needed lo inslall a slalion, unlike lhe inslallalion ol lradilional

The base slalion is well suiled lo ils surroundings so lhe base slalion slruclure does nol spoil lhe landscape.
By adopting this innovative, scenario-specific design approach,
we were able to develop products that are easy to install and
use. Based on our in-depth understanding of user scenarios,
we applied man-machine engineering in our product design
to make our products conform to the engineering habits and
skill requirements of users.
These measures in man-machine engineering effectively
support our product design and project delivery. They also
make Huawei products superior to other products in terms of
health and safety, which is widely recognized by global leading
carriers and customers.
