13、d socioeconomic growth.To bridge this gap,we need to cultivate more digital talent and enhance digital literacy.Developing digital talent for a stronger digital economyDigital literacy is essential for advancing the digital economy.The United Nations has designated education as a basic right,and as
14、the world grows more digital than ever,the ability to access and use technology is an inextricable element of that right.Recognizing this,countries around the world are actively exploring the best ways to cultivate digital talent and enhance digital literacy.The EU has developed the 2030 Digital Com
15、pass plan,aiming to train 20 million ICT specialists and equip 80%of adults with basic digital skills by 2030.Japan has launched the Digital New Deal,which aims to provide every student in elementary and high schools across the country with a computer by 2024 to help them begin developing digital sk
16、ills at an early age.And China has announced its 14th Five-Year Plan on Digital Economy Development,which will bolster digital education to improve nationwide digital literacy and skills so as to drive the digital economy forward.Digital skills are key to coordinating efforts to develop the digital
17、economy,and countries that are not able to make full use of their data will be on the back foot.According to the EUs Digital Economy and Society Index,more than 37%of workers in the EU lack basic digital skills.Germany,for example,is projected to have a deficit of 4.9 million digital workers by 2030
18、.In China,eight out of every nine ICT jobs are currently unfilled.It currently has a shortage of 12 million ICT workers,including nine million in emerging fields like AI,cloud computing,and big data.As a tech company,Huawei is willing to do its part to help bridge the digital gap in the ICT sector.W

25、he pandemic has widened the gap between the haves and have nots,further exacerbating the digital divide and digital poverty.According to the GSMAs Mobile Economy Report 2022,only 6%of the worlds population live in areas without mobile network coverage.Although the pandemic has increased the frequenc
26、y of Internet use for many,the usage gap people who have coverage but arent using the Internet remains.In 2021,the usage gap was 3.2 billion people,or 41%of the worlds population.Needless to say,we still have a long way to go before secure and quality Internet connections are affordable and accessib
27、le to all.For more than 30 years,we have committed ourselves to pushing the boundaries of ICT and promoting its global adoption.We have worked closely with carriers worldwide to build over 1,500 networks,connecting more than three billion people in more than 170 countries and regions.Huawei supports
28、 inclusive development and is working to drive broader digital inclusion through our targeted TECH4ALL program.We want to bring the benefits of digital technology to everyone.As of the end of 2021,our TECH4ALL program has helped more than 110,000 people,including teachers and students from over 400
29、schools,as well as unemployed young people,learn new digital skills and improve their scientific and technological literacy.In addition to digital skills,making technology more accessible and available is an important part of these efforts.Each month,the accessibility functions on Huawei devices all

40、n of the Board04/Huawei Investment&Holding Co.,Ltd.2021 Sustainability ReportThe digital economy is an engine of global economic growth in todays world.New digital technologies,such as 5G,cloud computing,big data,and artificial intelligence,are reshaping the way we work and live.We believe that all
41、innovations and inventions share the same mission:to make the world a better place.It is this belief that drives us to continue advancing our four sustainability strategies:Digital Inclusion,Security and Trustworthiness,Environmental Protection,and a Healthy and Harmonious Ecosystem.Together with ou
42、r partners,we are building a better,intelligent world.Technology for a more inclusive societyThe beauty of technology lies in its potential to benefit all and ensure no one is left behind in the digital world.That is why Huawei launched the TECH4ALL initiative,through which we work with partners to
43、drive digital inclusion in four key areas:education,environment,health,and development.By the end of 2021,we have used digital technology to roll out our education programs,including DigiTruck and DigiSchool,in more than 400 schools,driving equality and quality in education.Over the past year,we hav
44、e helped 32 protected areas in 25 countries protect biodiversity more efficiently.We have also developed numerous products and services that offer accessibility features for vulnerable groups such as the visually impaired,hearing impaired,and the elderly.Each month,more than 4.4 million visually imp
45、aired people and 800,000 hearing impaired people use the accessibility features on Huawei devices to benefit from an increasingly digital world.As part of our commitment to bridging the digital divide in remote areas,we have deployed our RuralStar series solutions in more than 70 countries,connectin
46、g 60 million people worldwide.We also use ICT to enable industries to go digital,make production safer and more efficient,and create better working environments for employees.For example,5G-powered smart factories allow steelworkers to work in air-conditioned rooms,smart coal mines enable miners to
47、wear suits at work,and smart ports protect crane operators from serious neck issues.Technology for more secure,reliable communicationsDigital technology can enrich communications and life and promote economic development.However,its growing adoption also brings challenges to cyber security and priva
48、cy protection,both of which remain a top priority at Huawei.We strive to develop secure and trustworthy products,solutions,and services that will allow every individual to enjoy a better life in the digital world.Over the past three decades,we have helped connect more than three billion people aroun
49、d the world,while maintaining a proven track record in security.In 2021,Huawei opened its largest global Cyber Security and Privacy Protection Transparency Center in Dongguan,China.The center is designed to demonstrate solutions and share experience,facilitate communication and innovation,and suppor
50、t security testing and verification.It is open to our global stakeholders,in a bid to jointly create a reliable digital environment.Technology has the power to change the world and make dreams that once seemed out of reach possible.As a tech company,we believe that technology is a force for good.We
51、will continue to provide products and services with a human touch,push boundaries and keep innovating,and ultimately,bring digital to every person,home and organization for a fully connected,intelligent world.-Tao Jingwen-Board Member and Chairmanof the CSD CommitteeTechnology with a Human Touch:Bui
52、lding a Better,Intelligent WorldHuawei Investment&Holding Co.,Ltd.2021 Sustainability Report /05 Various non-market factors,such as the COVID-19 pandemic,conflicts,and natural disasters,are putting unprecedented pressure on the timely delivery and stable operations of communications networks.However
53、,Huawei has stayed committed to what we do best.We believe that it is our responsibility to support stable network operations and ensure uninterrupted communications.Over the past year,we provided timely support for more than 180 major events and emergencies worldwide.To address challenges throughou
54、t our supply chain,we have established backup supply networks at multiple points along multiple paths at multiple levels.We will stick to our strategy of maintaining a globalized,diversified supply chain,and work closely with our suppliers and partners to create a secure,reliable,competitive,and hea
55、lthy value chain.Technology for a greener,cleaner environmentAs green development continues to gain momentum across the globe,decarbonization and digitalization are becoming imperative.ICT will be key to both processes.Huaweis environmental efforts are driven by the companys green pledge of Tech for
56、 a Better Planet,which focuses on three areas:reducing carbon emissions,promoting renewable energy,and contributing to a circular economy.Our goal is to use innovative technology to protect our planet.In 2021,Huawei held its Supplier Carbon Emissions Reduction Conference to clarify its strategies an
57、d requirements on supply chain emissions reduction.With the support of Huawei,98%of our top 100 suppliers and energy-intensive suppliers set carbon emissions reduction targets.In the same year,we used over 300 million kWh of electricity from renewable energy sources in our own operations,up 42.3%ove
58、r 2020.Huaweis digital power company focuses on five key domains:clean power generation,energy digitalization,transportation electrification,green ICT power infrastructure,and integrated smart energy.In total,our digital power solutions helped customers generate 482.9 billion kWh of green power and
59、save 14.2 billion kWh of electricity.These efforts resulted in a total carbon offset of 230 million tons.Huawei is also working to build a business model that integrates circular economy practices and a closed-loop value chain.This reduces our impact on the environment and our demand for natural res
60、ources.For example,the packaging of Huaweis P50 series smartphones uses 89%less plastic than the P40 series,with plastic accounting for less than 1%of the packaging.In addition,Huawei has joined the Digital with Purpose Movement launched by the Global Enabling Sustainability Initiative(GeSI),pledgin
61、g to combat climate change and report on our progress.Technology for a better,more harmonious worldWe believe that responsible companies should not solely pursue business value,as such a model is simply not sustainable.Social value should be a key consideration whenever companies conduct business ac
62、tivities.As companies contribute social value,they will likely encounter new business opportunities.This will help create a virtuous cycle and drive progress towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.At Huawei,it is a company policy to care for our employees and always put their safet
63、y first.We fully support our employees working in difficult situations,including those in locations hit hard by the pandemic or suffering from conflict,and use digital technology to improve their working environments.In 2021,we invested more than CNY15 billion into employee benefits,reaching a recor
64、d high.Huawei emphasizes a culture of integrity and invests heavily to make it a reality.As such,every Huawei employee is required to adhere to the companys Business Conduct Guidelines(BCGs).We also prioritize supplier management and make sustainability a key part of our procurement strategy.In 2021
65、,we assessed the sustainability performance of more than 1,600 major suppliers.In terms of social responsibilities,Huawei is an active and productive member of every community in which it operates.We use digital technology to make a lasting,positive impact and give back to local communities.In March
66、 2021,Huawei launched the HUAWEI Women Developers program,aiming to help women developers pursue innovation and contribute to an inclusive and diverse world.In July,Huawei announced the Seeds for the Future 2.0 program,in which we plan to invest US$150 million over the next five years to cultivate d
67、igital talent.The program is expected to benefit over three million more people around the world.In August,Huawei announced that it would invest US$100 million into the Spark Program in the Asia-Pacific region over the next three years,with the purpose of building a sustainable startup ecosystem in
68、the region.This program is intended to help more startups seize the opportunities posed by digital transformation,achieve business success,and develop more innovative products and solutions for the world.Technology has the power to change the world and make dreams that once seemed out of reach possi
69、ble.As a tech company,we believe that technology is a force for good.We will continue to provide products and services with a human touch,push boundaries and keep innovating,and ultimately,bring digital to every person,home and organization for a fully connected,intelligent world.A Message from the

251、nnecting local villages to the nearest city.However,flooding occurs whenever it rains due to the steep terrain and lack of drainage,and the road has earned the local nickname Water Road.This rugged mountain road and the lack of access are a great inconvenience to residents.To improve this situation,
252、the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission(NBTC)of Thailand used Huaweis AirPON solution to implement the USO NET project in the mountainous areas in Chiang Mai.During a field visit,the project team found that the residents living in these areas were not just far from the city,but a
253、lso scattered across many small villages.A traditional FTTH solution would be too costly,and it was difficult to find a suitable place to accommodate all the required facilities.In contrast,Huaweis cost-effective AirPON solution can repurpose existing poles and cables,with equipment rooms installed
254、up on poles,making communications services available and affordable to local residents.By the end of 2021,the USO NET project had provided Internet access to 19,652 villages,including 3,920 border villages,and about 600,000 households now have access to high-speed broadband services.Through this pro
255、ject,we also provided targeted digital skills training to local people to further bridge the digital divide between urban and rural areas.With high-speed broadband services,doctors in Thai villages can consult with specialists in large cities through telemedicine devices600,000households now have ac

258、d.Moreover,young people from rural areas are reluctant to work in agriculture.Mechanization and intelligence,both relying on high-speed broadband networks,are the future of farming.Huawei helped China Telecom build a ubiquitous gigabit optical network across the urban and rural areas of Guangxi that
259、 are covered by fiber.Thanks to the high bandwidth,low latency,and highly reliable connectivity,Jinfu Farm was able to transform its farming methods from labor-intensive to digitally led.The integrated fertilization and irrigation management system automatically irrigates up to 367 hectares of land,
260、freeing up fruit farmers from having to water trees by barrel under the blistering sun.Sensors regularly monitor soil conditions,allowing precise fertilization that in turn cuts fertilizer costs by about CNY15,000 per hectare per year.The automatic temperature control system sprays and cools the tre
