A Milestone in Hikvision’s Sustainability Journey
Receiving the EcoVadis Silver Medal is a testament to Hikvision’s continuous progress in corporate sustainability. EcoVadis, renowned for its comprehensive sustainability assessments, evaluates businesses across four key pillars: Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.

The EcoVadis recognition reaffirms our commitment to strong governance, ethical practices, and impactful sustainability initiatives. We will continue striving to fulfil our mission as a responsible corporate citizen, creating long-term value for society and the environment.”
Leading Innovation for a Greener Future
As a global leader in technology, Hikvision is dedicated to leveraging innovation to drive environmental sustainability. The company actively integrates eco-friendly practices into its product development and operations, aligning with international efforts to combat climate change.
In October 2024, Hikvision became the first company in the LED display industry to earn TÜV Rheinland’s Green Product Mark certification. This achievement highlights its dedication to reducing environmental impact, with a strong focus on technical compliance, carbon footprint reduction, restricted substances control, and product recyclability. By continuously innovating, Hikvision is setting new industry benchmarks for sustainable product development.
Upholding Ethical Business and Social Responsibility
Beyond environmental efforts, Hikvision remains steadfast in its commitment to human rights and ethical business conduct. Its Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, along with its Global Human Rights Policy, ensures that all employees and stakeholders operate with integrity, accountability, and respect. These policies reinforce Hikvision’s dedication to fostering an inclusive and transparent corporate culture.
The company extends its impact beyond internal operations by actively participating in social initiatives. Since 2020, Hikvision has led the STAR Program for Social Good, collaborating with over 30 non-governmental organisations worldwide. Through these partnerships, the company applies its technological expertise to support local environmental conservation, wildlife protection, and community development projects.
Strengthening a Sustainable and Resilient Value Chain
Recognising the importance of collective action, Hikvision places strong emphasis on sustainability within its supply chain. The company evaluates and collaborates with suppliers to ensure adherence to strict environmental and ethical standards. By integrating innovative technologies, Hikvision also supports the long-term sustainability of its partners, creating a more resilient and responsible value chain.
The EcoVadis Silver Medal further reinforces Hikvision’s commitment to advancing sustainability in alignment with the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), which it joined in 2024. Looking ahead, Hikvision remains dedicated to making a lasting positive impact, driving innovation, and fostering a sustainable future for all.
