Huawei has released a business blueprint to help steer carbon neutrality for the sustainable growth of the global ICT industry.
Known as GUIDE, Huawei notes that existing theories and architectures are unable to support "explosive growth" in digital demand, given how more than half the world’s economic output will be digitalised by end of this year.
Huawei's rotating chairman Guo Ping says the industry must explore new theories and architectures to reshape the technological paradigm to achieve digital sustainability.
He notes that the company has been upholding the concept of "make technology and nature live together", and has continued to invest in reducing carbon emissions, increasing the use of renewable energy, promoting circular economy, and guarding nature with technology.
"Connectivity density and computing power determine the strength of the digital economy, but it should also maintain long-term vitality. So, we need to consider a new dimension, carbon reduction,” says Guo.
Huawei is committed to integrating digital technology and power electronics to promote the energy revolution, accelerate the digitization of energy, enable industrial upgrading in thousands of industries, and become an enabler of carbon emission reduction.

By creating synergies between IT and CT, cloud and edge, and cloud and networks, Huawei hopes to help operators go digital and intelligent and achieve new revenue growth.
In Asia Pacific, for example, Huawei's OneStorage solution has helped one operator cut total cost of ownership by 30% - part of its overall “more bits, less watts” strategy, where Huawei aims to make its products 2.7 times more energy efficient by tapping improvements in materials and operating algorithms.
As part of its efforts to create a greener and more sustainable digital world, Huawei will also increase investment in sustainable green solutions, leveraging clean power generation, electric transportation, and smart energy storage.

According to Jay Chen, vice president of Huawei Asia Pacific, this is to support the Asia Pacific region’s goals of cutting carbon emissions, promoting renewable energy, and contributing to a circular economy.
For example, in Sarawak, Huawei has deployed an intelligent micro-grid solution to support sustainable power supply for local villagers, which features an energy storage system and supports diesel generator access and power supply round the clock and even for up to three days when there’s not enough sunlight.
“‘In Asia Pacific, for Asia Pacific’ is our commitment,” says Chen, adding that the company is working closely with business partners and telcos to do more.
