Huawei has released its ‘2020 Sustainability Report’. The company has been publishing this annual report for 13 consecutive years. The 2020 report explains the major progress that Huawei has made over the past year in its four strategies for sustainability: digital inclusion, security and trustworthiness, environmental protection, and a healthy and harmonious ecosystem.
Huawei has been using its innovative ICT solutions to provide people across different regions with equal access to quality education and healthcare resources. In 2020, Huawei rolled out its ‘Skills on Wheels’ and ‘Connecting Schools’ programs in over 200 schools around the world, benefiting more than 60,000 people. Huawei also used ICT solutions to provide technical assistance to nearly 90 countries.
Huawei also launched the RuralStar Pro solution, providing voice and mobile broadband services to more than 50 million people in sparsely populated remote villages. Treating cybersecurity and privacy protection as another top priority, Huawei released the Software Process Trustworthiness Capability Framework and Assessment Criteria in 2020 to establish a complete set of trustworthy coding production mechanisms.
As of the end of 2020, Huawei had been granted 2,963 patents relating to cybersecurity and privacy protection around the world.
