In a New Year message for 2022, Huawei’s Rotating Chairman, Guo Ping, reiterated the company’s ongoing commitment to creating tangible value for its customers and local communities through continued investment in the future. In his message, he announced that Huawei expects to round off the year with a total revenue of 634 billion yuan.
Over the past year, Huawei’s carrier business remained stable, the enterprise business experienced solid growth, and its device business expanded swiftly into new business domains. The company’s global business operations remained steady, and their overall performance was in line with their forecasts.
Ping noted that the digital economy has become a major engine of global economic growth. Green and low-carbon technologies have become new drivers for sustainable development. This combination of digital transformation and green development presents the information and communication technology industry with incredible new opportunities. At the same time, an unpredictable business environment, the politicization of technology, and a growing deglobalization movement all present serious challenges for Huawei.
“We need to stick to our strategy and respond rationally to external forces that are beyond our control,” said Ping. “A changing external environment won’t cause us to change our ideals or aspirations. As a tech company, one of our greatest social responsibilities is exploring the future. We will spare no effort as we probe the endless frontiers of science and technology. We are committed to bringing ICT technology to each and every industry, to creating new value by helping them go digital, intelligent, and green, and to helping them cut their energy consumption and go low-carbon.”
In terms of strategy, Ping restated the company’s commitment to continue to focus on ICT infrastructure and smart devices. “While leveraging the strengths of our broader platform, we are breaking new ground with domain-specific subsidiaries and integrated teams to shorten management chains, responding more nimbly to our customers’ needs, and creating greater business and social value than ever before. Within Huawei, our integrated teams focus on identifying the right technologies for their respective industries. When facing customers, they work closely with partners to explore the right solutions for practical challenges. Our goal is to take care of all the complicated stuff on our end, leaving our customers with simplicity itself,” he said in the New Year message.
The executive further stated that Huawei will continue to promote and safeguard unified global technical standards, support channel partners with long-term incentives, and also proactively support and develop high-quality suppliers worldwide to move forward together.
Huawei has continued to show its commitment to supporting the digital transformation of industries, promote the development of small- and medium-sized enterprises, and enable more people to benefit from digital technologies. The company has also actively been cultivating digital talent through initiatives like Seeds for the Future, ICT academies, and Women in Tech.
In line with global sustainable goals, Huawei has been facilitating green and sustainable development and protecting the natural environment through intelligent and low-carbon technologies. Ping highlighted the company’s commitment to work with carrier and enterprise customers as well as partners around the world to build simple, green, and intelligent ICT infrastructure that helps all industries go digital.
Ping added: “Huawei only exists to serve its customers. We can’t decide who chooses to work with us, but we will always wholeheartedly serve the customers who do. The goal of our organizational transformation efforts is to better serve our customers. By delegating decision-making authority to field offices, we want to make full use of our massive platform to better support the operations of elite teams, keeping them inspired to do what they do best.”
“2022 will come with its fair share of challenges, but we will keep working closely with our global partners to overcome the difficulties we face, improve business performance, and strengthen our foundations. We will continue investing in the future and creating value for our customers and partners. In the end we will not only survive, but do so sustainably,” Ping concluded.
