We are working harmoniously together with telecom peers around the world to share the benefits along the value chain and create an even better global business environment. What's more, as a responsible corporate citizen and member of the United Nations Global Compact, we are committed to supporting local communities worldwide by increasing access to technology, education and opportunities. That's why at Huawei, we continue to apply our spark of innovation, quality, efficiency and collaboration to help realize the potential of the telecoms industry and bring innovative ideas to life.
Huawei endeavors to increase access to information and communication technology. In addition, we place great emphasis on sustainable development and the bridging of the digital divide.
We are fully committed to fulfilling our responsibility as a global corporate citizen by providing people with better career opportunities, higher standard of living and education. We also hope to continue enriching the lives of people through communications.
As part of Huawei's efforts to fulfill our responsibility as a corporate citizen, we have joined the Global Compact, an initiative advocated by the United Nations to promote corporate citizenship worldwide. The ten principles of the Global Compact on human rights, labor rights, environmental protection and anti-corruption are now an integral part of Huawei's corporate culture.
As a leading player in the global telecommunications industry, Huawei's activities have an impact on the societies in which it operates, be it socially, economically or environmentally. As such, we strongly believe in the need to not only act responsibly, but also contribute back to local communities.
With increasing globalization and modernization, there is a widening gap between those who have access to technology and those who do not, or what is known as the digital divide. Here at Huawei, we plan to contribute to local communities worldwide by increasing access to technology, education and opportunities, in order to provide the less privileged with a ticket to a better life.
In addition, our natural resources today are being depleted at an increasingly rapid rate, and we firmly believe in the need for sustainable development through the efficient usage of resources, to ensure that future generations get to enjoy the natural environment which we take for granted today.
We encourage our staff to take on an active role in donations and voluntary community activities. Our suppliers also have to meet the certain Corporate Responsibility requirements.
