The rapid rate of development and modernization in the last century has come at the expense of our natural resources, and they are being increasingly depleted. There is also an ever-widening gap between the rich and the poor, resulting from unbalanced social and economic development. Therefore, sustainable development is now no longer just about the need to balance economic and social progress with concern for the environment, but also encompasses human and social factors, including the fight against poverty.

The declaration of the WSIS (the World Summit on Information Society) describes an Information Society "where everyone can create, access, utilize and share information and knowledge, enabling individuals, communities and peoples to achieve their full potential in promoting their sustainable development and improving their quality of life". Here at Huawei, we offer innovative communication solutions to people worldwide, in order to help people around the world gain access to the Information Society. We continually strive to carry out our responsibilities as a corporate citizen, in order to ensure sustainable development.
