Technology has the power to transform lives, protect our planet, and build stronger communities. At Hikvision, we believe that with great technological capability comes great responsibility—and an opportunity to create meaningful social value.
This April, we proudly released our seventh consecutive ESG Report, introducing a transformative new sustainability philosophy that will guide our environmental, social, and governance practices: THRIVE.
THRIVE represents more than just an acronym—it embodies our commitment to creating positive impact through technology. Built around "Tech for Good" at its core, our philosophy encompasses five essential pillars:
This framework reflects our dedication to working collaboratively with stakeholders to build a more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable future for all.
Our "Tech for a Better World" vision drives us beyond simple innovation. We've identified five key areas where our technology creates meaningful social value:
Creating safer, smarter cities is at the heart of our urban innovation efforts. Our intelligent traffic management solutions demonstrate this commitment in action—deployed across hundreds of cities and thousands of intersections worldwide, these systems enhance traffic flow while reducing accident risks.

The result? More efficient urban mobility that makes our communities safer and more livable for everyone.
Environmental protection isn't just a responsibility—it's a mission. Our AIoT-powered monitoring systems support both biodiversity conservation and natural disaster prevention initiatives.
Impact Spotlight: Our thermal imaging technologies now protect forests in 264 cities worldwide, dramatically reducing wildfire risks and ensuring long-term forest conservation. Through advanced early detection capabilities, we're helping preserve invaluable natural ecosystems for future generations.

Industries drive economic growth and social progress, and we're committed to helping them do so sustainably. Our AIoT technologies enable businesses to digitalize operations, boost efficiency and safety, and achieve lasting sustainable development.

Success Story: We partnered with a leading automobile component supplier to implement comprehensive digital solutions, resulting in significantly enhanced smart manufacturing capabilities, improved operational efficiency, and stronger sustainability performance across their operations.
Building harmonious societies means ensuring everyone has access to essential services. We're dedicated to improving public welfare across multiple sectors—from elderly care and child protection to education and healthcare accessibility.

Healthcare Innovation: In 2024, our Medical Pressure Ulcer PDA enabled Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital to establish an integrated digital wound management system. This advancement has revolutionized smart healthcare delivery, enabling more precise wound care and better patient outcomes.
Preserving cultural heritage while enhancing public access represents a unique intersection of technology and tradition. We collaborate with cultural protection institutions to provide intelligent conservation solutions and create better cultural experiences.

Heritage Protection: Through our STAR Program for Social Good, we partnered with Qingyuan County to enhance fire prevention for the historic Lanxi Bridge—China's largest single-span ancient covered wooden bridge. Together, we're protecting irreplaceable cultural treasures for future generations.
Our THRIVE philosophy represents more than corporate responsibility—it's a commitment to using technology as a force for positive change. As we continue this journey, we remain dedicated to transparency, innovation, and collaboration with all our stakeholders.
Every smart traffic system that prevents accidents, every thermal camera that protects a forest, every digital healthcare solution that improves patient care—these are the building blocks of a better world. Through THRIVE, we're not just advancing technology; we're advancing humanity.
