Receiving the EcoVadis Silver Medal marks a key milestone in Hikvision’s sustainability journey.

EcoVadis, a provider of corporate sustainability ratings, assesses companies across four critical areas:

• Environment
• Labour and human rights
• Ethics
• Sustainable procurement

This comprehensive evaluation measures the sustainability practices of over 150,000 companies in more than 185 countries, taking into account their policies, actions and results.

“A testament to the progress”

Huang Fanghong, Senior Vice-President and Chief Compliance Officer, Hikvision commented: “We are extremely proud that, after more than 20 years of dedication, we have not only achieved sustainable growth for our company but also made a meaningful contribution to advancing global sustainable development.

“The recognition from EcoVadis is a testament to the progress we have made through ongoing efforts and strong partnerships across the value chain and industry.

“It highlights our progress toward stronger governance, more effective practices and impactful sustainability performance worldwide.”

Fanghong concluded: “We are committed to consistently continuing this journey, striving to achieve our mission of becoming a responsible corporate citizen.”

Environmental aims

Hikvision notes that its innovations aim to drive the transition towards a greener future, contributing to the effort to combat climate change while addressing the demand for environmentally responsible development.

In October 2024, Hikvision became the first in the LED display industry to receive the Green Product Mark certification from TÜV Rheinland.

The company adheres to many environmental standards that cover areas such as technical compliance, restricted substances control, carbon footprint reduction and recyclability.

Human rights and business ethics

In the areas of human rights and business ethics, Hikvision and all its employees strictly follow the company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and Global Human Rights Policy.

These policies ensure that every individual is treated with dignity and respect, while also fostering an ethical business environment that promotes integrity, accountability and transparency.

Hikvision extends its commitment beyond the company by actively engaging in social initiatives.

Since 2020, Hikvision has implemented the ‘STAR Program for Social Good‘ globally by collaborating with more than 30 NGOs worldwide, leveraging its technology to drive positive changes for the local environment, wildlife and community.

Collaboration

Hikvision utilises its innovative technologies to foster a more resilient value chain by supporting the sustainable growth of both upstream and downstream partners, creating long-term value across various industries.

The company claims that this achievement highlights its commitment to advancing sustainability and underscores its dedication to the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), following its participation in 2024.

Moving forward, the company says that it will remain focused on creating a lasting positive impact while driving a more innovative and sustainable future.
