FAQ

  • Hikvision sets up a comprehensive management structure to address the challenges of climate change. 

    • The Board of Directors leads and directs the overall climate change addressing approaches.
    • The executive management team and the Carbon Neutrality Committee set up strategies, objectives, and policies to address climate change.
    • The Carbon Neutrality Operation Working Group takes the responsibility to implement measures. 
    • 4 business groups are set up to carry out work related to addressing climate change, which focus on green products, green manufacturing, green operations, and green transformation.

     

    To set up clear strategies in addressing climate change, Hikvision analyzes climate risks and opportunities using the TCFD framework, and submits the CDP climate change questionnaire to assess risks and enhance management. By incorporating low- and high-emission scenarios from the IPCC and IEA, Hikvision also evaluates the impacts of climate factors on business and financial planning, guiding and adapting its strategies to climate change.

  • Hikvision's green manufacturing efforts focus on three main areas: cleaner energy, sustainable materials, and eco-friendly packaging.

    • Cleaner Energy: We're reducing our carbon footprint by generating 15,900 MWh of photovoltaic power and purchasing an additional 18,000 MWh of renewable electricity.
    • Cleaner Materials: We're shifting from coated metals to reinforced polyamides in our products. We also use a no-paint process that significantly cuts down on VOC emissions during production.
    • Cleaner Packaging: We're moving away from traditional plastics toward biodegradable polylactide. We've also replaced EPE foam inserts with fully recyclable cardboard to reduce waste.
    • Low-Carbon Logistics: We work with suppliers to transition to new energy vehicles, with 4,469 electric vehicles adopted so far. We've also increased reusable turnover-box usage from 20% to 30% to cut down on packaging waste.
  • Hikvision promotes green operations through initiatives focused on resource efficiency, low-carbon logistics, and circularity.

    • "Green Office" Initiatives: We advance our programs through smarter energy consumption, sustainable water use, and reduced electricity demand, supported by our cloud-based R&D platform.
    • Sustainable Water Use: We practice efficient water management across our campuses. All new facilities include rainwater recycling systems that filter and reuse water for irrigation.
    • Waste Management & Recycling: We follow rigorous operational standards. In 2024, we recycled 33.05% of solid waste at headquarters. Improved product disassembly and recycling processes led to a 24% increase in recovered resource value.
  • Hikvision views green supply chain management as essential for sustainable development and has established a comprehensive framework to achieve it.

    • Strategy and Guidelines: We've released the Green Supply Chain Management Guidelines with strategies covering green procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and recycling.
    • Supplier Evaluation: We use a green supplier evaluation framework that prioritizes partners offering environmentally friendly and low-carbon materials and services.
    • Impact and Milestones: This approach reduces the environmental footprint of production and transport while boosting recycling and reuse. In 2024, we evaluated the eco-friendly practices of 70 suppliers and recognized their commitment with 6 awards.
  • Hikvision provides greener AIoT solutions to help cities and communities meet their sustainability objectives. To date, we've launched over 30 dedicated AIoT products and more than 200 deep learning algorithms that address environmental challenges across multiple areas:

    • Air quality monitoring: Track and manage air pollution levels to protect public health.
    • Water quality monitoring: Ensure clean water resources through continuous monitoring.
    • Vehicle emission monitoring: Monitor and reduce transportation-related emissions.
    • Urban waste management: Optimize waste handling and prevent environmental hazards.

     

    Our solutions are being applied across diverse scenarios—from energy-efficient LED displays that cut power consumption by around 45%, to interactive displays enabling paperless classrooms, AI-powered thermal cameras preventing offshore oil spills, and thermal imaging systems stopping waste facility fires before they start, to name a few.

  • Hikvision is always dedicated to ecological and biodiversity protection, embodied in its various products and solutions designed for this purpose. To date, Hikvision's related technologies and products have been applied in China's first batch of national parks, around 30% of national nature reserves, more than 200 wetlands, and more than 15 UNESCO-recognized biosphere reserves in China.

     

    Hikvision is also contributing to ecological and biodiversity protection through its public welfare STAR program for Social Good. To date, Hikvision has collaborated with non-profit partners to carry out more than 25 biodiversity and environmental protection projects, helping to safeguard African wildlife, Sumatran elephants, Italian sea turtles, Malaysian coral reefs, Himalayan glacial lakes, and so on.
