Huawei Investment & Holding Co., Ltd. 2022 Sustainability Report

Every year since 2008, Huawei Investment & Holding Co., Ltd. ("Huawei", "the company", or "we") has voluntarily released

annual sustainability reports and disclosed our sustainability performance as we believe that doing so facilitates communication,

awareness, and interaction with our stakeholders and makes Huawei more transparent.

This report covers all entities that Huawei either has control of, or a signicant inuence over, in terms of nancial and operational

policies and measures. The scope of the entities covered in this report is consistent with the scope of organizations discussed in the

Huawei 2022 Annual Report. Unless otherwise specied, this report describes the economic, environmental, and social performance

of Huawei and its subsidiaries worldwide during the reporting period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. All data

contained herein is derived from Huawei's ocial documents and statistical reports. For details about the economic data in the

report, refer to the Huawei 2022 Annual Report.

The report is prepared with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards. Huawei engaged SGS, an external

assurance provider, to verify the reliability, fairness, and transparency of this report and to issue an independent assurance statement

(see Appendix IV).

As an independent record of sustainability, this report is published online and in print in both Chinese and English in July 2023.
