Hikvision has joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the world’s largest global corporate sustainability initiative. Devoted to advancing sustainable development and corporate citizenship, Hikvision joins more than 20,000 companies and 3,800 non-business participants who have similarly embraced the commitments of the UN Global Compact.
Over the past several years, Hikvision has made continuous efforts to put into practice its understanding of ‘Tech for Good’, and to operate in a more sustainable way. Joining the UNGC is yet a further step towards the company’s global responsibility and increased transparency. Its technological innovation capabilities, ongoing efforts to create social value, and endeavours to enhance efficiency and effectiveness demonstrate the company’s drive to work towards sustainability.
The initiative encourages companies to embed Ten Principles on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption into strategies and operations, and contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Hikvision integrates corporate social responsibility and sustainable development philosophies into its business operations. Building on its industry-leading technologies, it aims to empower customers across industries to pursue digital transformation, improving social well-being and accelerating sustainability.
Committed to achieving greater accountability, the company claims to constantly improve its governance, and takes action for low-carbon manufacturing, green operations, human rights due diligence, anti-corruption, employee care, and responsible supply chain.
Hikvision believes that technologies can play a pivotal role in benefiting communities and nature. With this in mind, it has launched the STAR (Sustainability though Technology, Action for Responsibility) Program for social good, supporting projects of biodiversity conservation and environment protection. So far, Hikvision has partnered with more than 20 non-profit organisations.
These actions offer to demonstrate that Hikvision is dedicated to becoming a well-respected global technology company, as it prioritises corporate responsibility and enforces policies to ensure the company acts responsibly across its value chain. Hikvision maintains it will continue to explore best practices in corporate governance, compliance, green development to make a positive impact through technological innovation. This includes joining the UNGC in its efforts towards a more sustainable future.
