Hikvision, a prominent player in the global video surveillance market, has recently published its 2025 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report, marking the eighth consecutive year of transparent sustainability reporting. This report is a testament to the company's ongoing commitment to sustainable development, framed under the philosophy of "Tech for Good."

Advancing Sustainability and Innovation

In an era where corporate responsibility is paramount, Hikvision is keenly aware of its dual role: to deliver innovative technology while ensuring compliance with social and environmental standards. The company outlined its approach to sustainability, enhancing its materiality assessment to spotlight critical areas such as technological innovation, product safety, quality, and cybersecurity. This holistic approach reinforces Hikvision's accountability to various stakeholders and its dedication to achieving sustainable objectives systematically.

Social Development Driven by AIoT

As part of its "Tech for Good" philosophy, Hikvision champions innovations aimed at generating positive societal value. In urban management, the company is developing comprehensive monitoring systems that safeguard critical infrastructure through over 300 devices and 140 application-specific solutions focusing on traffic management. In terms of environmental protection, Hikvision's solutions, showcased at the 5th World Congress of Biosphere Reserves, have already been deployed in China's inaugural national parks and encompass 50% of the country's biosphere reserves.

While pursuing business goals, Hikvision remains devoted to social good. Its STAR program spans 14 countries and regions, facilitating ecological observations in the Pyrenees and research on glaciers in the Himalayas. Furthermore, the 2025 STAR Installer Partner Initiative aims to unite installers into an international network providing crucial technical support.

Building Trust Through Cybersecurity and Quality Management

To bolster digital trust, Hikvision has implemented a comprehensive cybersecurity framework to enhance governance practices. In 2025, the company achieved a 100% elimination rate of identified vulnerabilities, earning the prestigious Digital Trust Assurance Award from the British Standards Institution (BSi). This recognition underscores Hikvision's innovation in quality management, highlighted by its standardized digital processes that ensure reliability and strengthen its intellectual property portfolio, which comprises 7,399 patent applications related to core business operations.

Data Compliance and Protection

Hikvision prioritizes compliance by incorporating global best practices into its daily operations. In 2025, the company received ISO 37301 certification, reflecting its commitment to data protection and compliance issues. Staying aligned with the latest technological trends, Hikvision published "Hikvision's Journey Practicing Responsible AI," signaling its commitment to advancing AI technologies responsibly and adhering to established standards.

Data protection remains a top priority for Hikvision, as evidenced by successful audits in 2025 that confirmed compliance with several international standards, including ISO/IEC 27701. With 100% employee engagement in privacy awareness initiatives, the company continues to place significant emphasis on safeguarding personal data.

Climate Action Initiatives

Hikvision is accelerating its climate action efforts through a three-tiered governance structure that supports decarbonization across low-emission products, intelligent manufacturing, digital transformation, and green initiatives. To enhance its impact, the company created its Green Product Assessment (GPA) platform to foster eco-friendly products. By the end of 2025, carbon footprint calculations will be completed for 169 product models, with seven WonderHub smart displays achieving TCO Certified Generation 10 status, marking a first for large-format displays worldwide.

Remaining true to the UN Global Compact's 10 Principles, Hikvision continually advances responsible management and sustainable practices, as evidenced by recent ESG accolades, including the EcoVadis Silver Medal and the DMCC Global Enterprise ESG Leader Award, recognizing leaders in ESG initiatives.

Looking ahead, Hikvision aims to further its commitment to developing and delivering lasting value, working closely with stakeholders to drive efforts toward a more resilient and sustainable future.
