We create value for our customers. Together with our partners, we provide telecom carriers with network products and solutions that are innovative, simplified, intelligent, secure, and trustworthy. We also open up our ICT capabilities for industry customers, providing them with products and services that are intelligent, secure, and trustworthy. With our smart devices, we improve people’s digital experience in work, life, travel, and entertainment.
We ensure secure and stable network operations. Cyber security and privacy protection are and will always remain our top priorities. We believe strongly in the power of openness and transparency. We will keep working to improve our software engineering capabilities and business continuity management systems, while enhancing the resilience of our networks.
For more than 30 years, we have worked closely with our carrier customers to build over 1,500 networks in more than 170 countries and regions. Together, we have connected more than three billion people around the world, and we have maintained a solid track record in security throughout.
We promote industry development. Huawei advocates openness, collaboration, and shared success. Through joint innovation with our customers and partners, we are expanding the value of ICT to foster a healthy and symbiotic industry ecosystem. Huawei is an active member of more than 400 standards organizations, industry alliances, and open source communities, where we work with our peers to develop mainstream standards and lay the foundation for shared success. Together, we are driving the industry forward.
We enable sustainable development. Huawei is committed to bridging the digital divide and promoting digital inclusion. We have helped connect places as remote as the highest peaks in the Himalayas and the frigid depths of the Arctic Circle. We are keenly aware of the importance of telecommunications during emergency situations. In response to cataclysmic events like the massive earthquake in Wenchuan, China, the nuclear accident triggered by a tsunami in Japan, and Ebola in West Africa, our people hold fast in disaster zones to restore communications networks and ensure the reliable operations of essential telecom equipment. To further promote sustainability, we prioritize a low-carbon footprint and environmental protection. We are also helping develop the next generation of local ICT talent to boost the digital economy.
