Hikvision Releases Comprehensive 2025 ESG Report

In a significant move towards enhancing corporate responsibility, Hikvision has unveiled its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report for 2025. This marks the company's eighth consecutive year of transparent sustainability reporting, solidifying its commitment to advancing sustainability through innovative technological solutions under the ethos of "Tech for Good."

Emphasizing Dual Materiality

Hikvision's report showcases its refined approach to dual materiality by emphasizing critical areas such as technological innovation, product safety and quality, and cybersecurity. These themes are pivotal as the company systematically advances its sustainable development goals. The comprehensive evaluation reflects Hikvision's responsibility not only to its shareholders but also to the wide-reaching implications of its products on societies and environments.

Driving Social Good with AIoT

Under its "Tech for Good" philosophy, Hikvision is pioneering innovations that deliver positive societal values. In urban management, the firm has developed end-to-end surveillance systems designed to protect critical infrastructure, integrating over 300 devices and 140 scenario-based solutions tailored for traffic management. Moreover, Hikvision's conservation solutions, which were highlighted at the 5th World Congress on Biosphere Reserves, are currently implemented in China's first group of national parks and utilized in half of the country's biosphere reserves.

The company extends its commitment by engaging in global programs such as the STAR program, which spans 14 countries, supporting ecological observations across the Pyrenees and glacier research in the Himalayas. The 2025 STAR Installer Partner Initiative encapsulates a global network, providing essential technical assistance for sustainable initiatives.

Cybersecurity and Quality Assurance

To bolster digital trust, Hikvision has constructed a robust cybersecurity framework aimed at refining management. The company's initiatives achieved a remarkable 100% remediation rate for security vulnerabilities in 2025, earning them the highest tier of the Digital Trust Assurance Award from the British Standards Institution (BSI).

In terms of product quality management, standardised digital processes have been established to ensure reliability and bolster its intellectual property portfolio, which included 7,399 invention patent applications relevant to core business areas and 1,553 newly granted patents in 2025.

Compliance and Privacy Initiatives

Hikvision effectively integrates global compliance requirements into its daily operations by following best practices. In 2025, the company also attained the ISO-37301 certification. Their commitment to ethical AI development is delineated in the publication "Hikvision's Journey Practicing Responsible AI," showcasing a strong adherence to responsible AI development practices.

Privacy concerns remain at the forefront of Hikvision's ethos, with the company successfully conducting annual audits for multiple international standards, including ISO/IEC 27701, ISO/IEC 38505, ISO/IEC 29151, and ISO 37301, achieving full employee awareness of personal data protection measures.

Accelerating Climate Action

Hikvision is taking proactive steps towards climate mitigation via a three-tier governance structure, emphasizing decarbonization across four key pillars: low-carbon products, intelligent manufacturing, digital empowerment, and environmentally responsible operations. The company has launched the GPA platform to bolster its capabilities in eco-friendly product management. By the end of 2025, carbon footprint assessments were completed for 169 product models. Notably, seven WonderHub smart displays received the TCO Certified Generation 10 certification, marking them as the first large-format displays globally compliant with this standard.

Aligned with the ten principles of the UN Global Compact, Hikvision promotes responsible corporate governance and sustainable business practices, as evidenced by recent accolades such as the EcoVadis Silver Medal and the DMCC Global Enterprise ESG Leader Award.

Looking ahead, Hikvision reaffirms its commitment to continuous improvement and long-term value creation while collaborating with stakeholders to build a more resilient and sustainable world. The complete 2025 ESG report can be accessed on their official website.
