December 13, 2023 / Hangzhou China. Dahua Technology, a world-leading video-centric smart AIoT solution and service provider, has been constantly embracing its corporate social responsibility to contribute to the well-being of communities and the society. This year, Dahua actively contributed to the sustainable development of people and the environment through its charitable donations and Tech for Good initiatives, making a difference in various fields including green energy, education, healthcare, and more.

Environmental Protection & Sustainable Development

In 2023, Dahua successfully joined the United Nations Global Compact initiative together with thousands of companies around the world, demonstrating its unwavering commitment to sustainable development and environmental protection. Dahua has a strong advocacy in building a green low-carbon community by integrating sustainable practices with digital intelligence, including smart environment protection, smart traffic management, smart energy, smart building, smart education and safe production.

Dahua’s Environmental, Social and Governance commitment also mainly revolves around sustainable practices while integrating digital intelligence. The company’s 2022 ESG report highlights Dahua’s efforts in reducing its carbon footprints, as well as its significant contribution to green operation and sustainable development through green products, green manufacturing, green logistics, and green living. In terms of energy conservation, the Dahua Park was successfully upgraded with smart electricity system that saves up to 1,389,800 kWh of electricity every year. Photovoltaic power stations were also installed to generate clean energy and reduce carbon emissions.

Protecting wildlife and biodiversity is also an integral part of Dahua’s advocacies. Over the years, several projects were developed and implemented by Dahua to help monitor and protect natural resources. One notable example is Dahua’s wildlife-friendly security cameras equipped with customized firmware that enables white light illuminators to be turned on or off by month to avoid disturbance during sea turtles’ nesting season. Other successful projects include an intelligent gibbon monitoring system that monitors gibbons in a protected reserve, 24/7 forest fire monitoring for a vast mountainous area, intelligent fire inspection and monitoring system for a photovoltaic power station, and thermal video monitoring solution to detect illegal fishing activities on a major river system.

To support Dubai’s "1 billion meals" initiative in 2023, Dahua MENA provided numerous free meals to people who have been away from their homes for a long time and have been working under harsh outdoor conditions. Together with their families, volunteers from the local subsidiary personally distributed the 2,600 packed meals to those in need.
