The report highlights the company's ongoing initiatives to foster sustainable development with a mission centered on 'enabling a smarter society and better living.' As part of its commitment to responsible business practices, Dahua has integrated ESG strategies into its global operations in 2025, with a pronounced focus on green development, compliance, and the ethical use of technology. The company's efforts earned it a Silver Medal from EcoVadis, placing Dahua among the top 15% of organizations worldwide for ESG performance.

Advancements in AIoT Applications

Dahua's commitment to innovation is evident as the company continues to expand its AIoT applications across various sectors, including industrial, urban, and environmental domains. In the realm of industrial operations, such as in new energy and petrochemicals, Dahua has implemented intelligent inspection solutions that enhance both safety and maintenance efficiency. Similarly, in urban settings, its AI-based traffic monitoring and infrastructure systems have proven invaluable for traffic management and incident response, thereby ensuring smoother city operations. Furthermore, in the area of environmental conservation, Dahua applies advanced video and sensing technologies to monitor biodiversity, having partnered with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) on wetland preservation projects. 

Accelerating Low-Carbon Development Efforts

Dahua has made significant strides in promoting low-carbon transformations throughout its functions. The company's endeavors included expanding its photovoltaic capacity by introducing approximately 6.33 MW of installed power, representing a staggering 78% year-on-year increase. Furthermore, its annual solar power generation for self-consumption amounted to 11,080.70 MWh. In manufacturing, Dahua's vision of 'lights-out' factories has led to the addition of AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) covering an extra 30,000 square meters, thereby enhancing logistics efficiency by 50%. The company also focuses on developing energy-efficient products like solar-powered 4G devices and 480kW DC charging systems to minimize its carbon footprint. Such innovations have resulted in Dahua receiving over 150 green product certifications and compiling more than 40 product carbon footprint reports, in addition to optimizing packaging designs to reduce volume by 20% and increasing storage utilization by 300%.

Strengthening Governance and Data Security

A robust governance framework has been vital in Dahua's operations, integrating compliance management globally and ensuring high ethical standards within the business. This commitment is backed by various certifications, including GB/T 35770-2022 for compliance management and ISO 9001 for quality management. Notably, Dahua achieved an entire year without any product recalls due to quality or safety concerns. In the realm of cybersecurity and privacy, the company aligns its practices with international standards, actively employing a vulnerability monitoring system for enhanced risk detection and response. Dahua also advances its AI governance practices, adhering to ISO/IEC 42001 for the management of artificial intelligence technologies.

Social Initiatives and Community Engagement

Dahua's impact reaches beyond corporate responsibility as it actively engages in community support and disaster relief initiatives globally. In 2025, the company contributed to reforestation efforts in Madrid, aiding in ecological recovery following devastating wildfires. Collaborations with charitable organizations like Rêves in France and Starlight in Australia underscore Dahua's commitment to assisting children facing critical illnesses. Moreover, its engagement in disaster relief efforts extended to Southeast Asia, participating in response actions for floods in Indonesia and providing assistance after earthquakes in Myanmar.
