Dubendorf/Zurich, 21 August 2024
Huawei Switzerland has been awarded the Platinum medal by EcoVadis, the world’s most trusted provider of sustainability and compliance assessments. 2024 is Huawei Switzerland’s first year of assessment with EcoVadis, and the technology supplier based in Bern, Zurich and Lausanne received 83 out of a possible 100 points ‘right off the bat’. This result puts Huawei Switzerland in the top one percent of companies assessed by EcoVadis worldwide (99+ percentile).
For the award, Huawei Switzerland’s performance in key areas of sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) was analyzed and rated. EcoVadis uses a defined set of questions comprising 21 sustainability criteria and seven management indicators to examine how responsibly Huawei acts in the areas of environment, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.
The assessment is based on leading standards such as GRI, UNGC and ISO 26000 and is monitored by an international scientific committee. Huawei Switzerland compared itself with over 125,000 participating companies worldwide and proved that it meets verified sustainability and compliance standards in a top benchmark group.
As a global leader in ICT infrastructure and smart devices, Huawei’s vision is to make digitalization accessible to every person, home and business, to create a fully connected, intelligent world. Huawei believes that a better, sustainable and digital future is possible if we strive for S.H.A.R.E. (Sustainability, Harmony, All-Inclusion, Responsibility, Eco-friendliness).
Michael Yang, CEO of Huawei Switzerland, comments: “Our aim is to maximize equality and inclusion by making technology accessible to all, and by striking a balance between social development and environmental protection through technological innovation. We also develop secure and reliable ICT infrastructures and services that protect the digital world, and work in trust with our partners from all industries to build a healthy and mutually enriching business ecosystem. With more than fifteen years rooted in Switzerland, we live these values in harmony with our local network of loyal customers and partners in all our locations.”
Huawei Switzerland is constantly striving to work on specific areas of improvement based on feedback from EcoVadis to further enhance our performance at a high level and make an important contribution to sustainability.
In addition, Huawei Switzerland is certified to other standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 27001, ISO 27701 or ISO 22301, which confirm the quality of our products and services, our environmental management, occupational health and safety, data protection and information security as well as resilience.
This year, Huawei has also been recognized as a Top Employer for its human resources management and treatment of employees for the fifth time in a row.
