CSR Strategy
As a member of the United Nations Global Compact,
Huawei strives to create a win-win industry ecosystem that
promotes the sustainable development of the economy,
society and environment. At Huawei India, we are
committed to becoming a truly sustainable organization
and meeting the triple 'P' bottom line (people, planet,
profit). In order to fulfill this commitment, our activities are
focused on key business sustainability parameters.
Environmental protection: Huawei India actively
communicates with customers on energy conservation
and environmental protection. We closely collaborate
with enterprises across the value chain to build
environment-friendly networks, and promote the
sustainable development of the industry in order to
achieve our objective: 'Green Communications, Green
Huawei, and Green World'. We have successfully
implemented an ISO 14001:2004-compliant
Environmental Management System, taken proactive
measures to make our offices and facilities more
environment-friendly, undertaken initiatives to estimate
our carbon emission levels, and are continually devising
new strategies to reduce our carbon footprint.
Bridging the digital divide: Huawei India provides
customized solutions that enable people in different
regions to access information. We help underdeveloped
regions nurture talent and form effective education
systems using ICT, and improve regional technology to
promote communications.

WIRELESS
Next-generation BTS design : Huawei India's
high-density BTS designs reduce carbon emissions by
80% and power consumption by 30%.
Intelligent equipment shutdown: The intelligent
software shutdown feature (based on the time of
day) can result in 16% power savings, and our radio
resource management (RRM) software can also
reduce power usage dramatically.
Intelligent/ alternative energy : Our hybrid
batteries or solar power reduce the dependence on
diesel generators in remote areas, and we have also
initiated geothermal and ambient cooling schemes
that depend on geographic conditions.
CENTRAL OFFICE
Blade servers : Huawei India's clustering and
intelligent software can generate 20% power
savings.
ATCA-based virtualization : We are deploying
virtualization to reduce equipment footprint by 50%
and power consumption by 40%.
Thermal management : Our fresh air cooling
systems can save up to 65% on HVAC-related energy
consumption.
BROADBAND AND TRANSPORT
PON-based Access Network : Next-gen PON (i.e.,
WDM PON) can improve throughput per Watt by
almost 400%, compared to the conventional ADSL.
Intelligent Optical Networking : The migration
from 'ring' to 'mesh' results in a 40% improvement in
bandwidth utilization, as well as a 30% improvement
in power consumption.
Improved ASIC Design : Chips that can withstand
higher temperatures lower cooling requirements.
And photonic integration eliminates the need for
discrete components, lowering both power
consumption and cooling requirements. The
combined effect of these factors could result in result
in a 200% throughput per Watt improvement
between 2008 and 2012.

Low-ARPU solutions
The Indian telecom industry is taking the next leap
forward with new developments, such as the launch
of third generation (3G) services by private operators,
3G and broadband wireless access (BWA) auctions,
the launch of mobile number portability (MNP), and
the emergence of mobile commerce (m-commerce).
Rural and semi-rural markets will drive growth,
especially in the realm of wireless technologies.
A significant part of the rollout of new networks is
expected to occur in hitherto untapped rural areas
where current mobile teledensity is barely in double
digits. At Huawei India, we realize that the
remoteness, wide dispersal and extent of rural areas
will create a need for many more ground-based
towers, further increasing CapEx requirements.
Sharing could help save funds on a large scale, and
newer operators could build an asset-light model.
Eco-friendly base stations
We understand that power is scarce in rural areas.
Hence, network architectures that consume relatively
less power than conventional systems must be used.
Huawei India's eco-friendly base stations consume
only 250-300W, saving over 8,000kWh of power
each year. Multiplied by 1,000 base stations, the
savings is 8 million kWh per year. These savings
translate readily into lower average revenue per user
(ARPU). Additionally, eco-friendly outdoor micro base
stations make it possible to use renewable energy
sources, such as solar or wind power. The optimal use
of natural energy sources results in less power
consumption and environmental degradation, higher
savings and lower ARPU.

Selecting Suppliers
Huawei India selects its suppliers through a stringent process
of evaluation in order to ensure that the company's products
are of the highest quality. Before suppliers are invited to bid
for a contract, we assess their qualifications against a
definite set of parameters operating standards, registered
capital, financials, EHS and ISO certifications, existing and
potential skills and capabilities, and several other factors.
Suppliers must then pass a rigorous technical evaluation
before proceeding to the next level of assessment: an on-site
check conducted by a cross-functional Huawei India team
whose findings are presented to the company's
Procurement Management Committee. Throughout the
selection procedure, there operates a system of continual
monitoring and surveillance; non-compliance with
requirements leads to warnings to suppliers and eventual
disqualification in case the problems of non-compliance
continue.
At the heart of our relationship with our suppliers is the
Supplier CSR Agreement. Put into place soon after a supplier
is selected, the Agreement details Huawei India's labor
standards, occupational safety and health standards,
environmental standards, business ethics, CSR management
system requirements, and sub-supplier management
requirements. We regard the Supplier CSR Agreement as
critical to maintaining the highest standards of environment,
health and safety (EHS), and more broadly, as being integral
to effective CSR.
Supplier Training
Huawei India is committed to the improvement of standards
through continuous learning. It is very important to us to
help our suppliers move from strength to strength, and to
build enduring relationships with them. We conduct a wide
range of training and certification programs for our
suppliers, often in collaboration with our Technical Solutions
Department. While we run customized supplier training
programs for each of Huawei India's many products, we also
conduct courses that encourage suppliers to move beyond
their immediate offerings and expand their competencies. In
several instances, our suppliers' capabilities have become
sufficiently advanced for us to help them to begin
operations overseas.
A great deal of importance is attached to on-site training.
Our trainers demonstrate a particular activity, such as
connectorization or weatherproofing, and then the
supplier's team is invited to repeat the procedure. Our
trainers are always at hand to offer help and advice where
necessary. Besides, we conduct a range of 'classroom
training' sessions to educate suppliers about specific
products, particularly when new equipment is being
introduced or is in its initial stages of implementation.
Additionally, we take care to devise special, personalized
programs for suppliers whose procedures or output have
been found wanting during visits by our Quality Team.

Participating in the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon : In
both 2009 and 2010, Indian and Chinese employees from
Huawei India participated in the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon
(ADHM) conducted by the Bharti Foundation. In the last
few years, we have contributed significant amounts to the
Foundation. Our employees took part in the 'Corporate
Challenge' category of the two annual half marathons,
and the amount donated by the company each year
sponsored the education of a particular class in one of the
Satya Bharti schools.
The 'Clean Delhi' drive : In September 2010 our
employees took to the streets, joining the 'Clean Delhi'
drive, an initiative undertaken by the Delhi government
and Art of Living to inspire over a million citizens to clean
their city. More than 100 Huawei employees participated
in the community-driven initiative, undertook to clean
multiple locations across the city, and worked with
volunteers to raise awareness about Delhi's cleanliness.
