HONOR has published its first-ever Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, outlining its goals and progress made across its seven ESG pillars including Environmental Protection, Technology for Good, and Youth Empowerment. With the release of the report, the company has also pledged to accelerate its sustainability and decarbonization efforts to reduce its carbon emissions by 88%, achieve 100% use of renewable energy and reach carbon neutral operations by 2045, aligning with China’s goal to reach carbon neutrality by 2060.

Building on its continued global ESG efforts, HONOR has made progress across its key ESG pillars – Environmental Protection, Technology for Good, Youth Empowerment, Privacy and Security, Staff Development, Supply Chain Management, and Responsible Corporate Governance, all identified in alignment with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals – since becoming an independent company in 2020. 

The ESG Report is also developed in accordance with Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) globally acclaimed GRI Standards and International Standard Organization’s ISO 26000 Social Responsibility framework. In December 2021, HONOR became an official member company of the United Nations Global Compact, further demonstrating its commitment to fulfilling its sustainability responsibilities.
