SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- At the Better World
Summit (BWS) hosted by Huawei in partnership with Informa Tech,
Bob Cai, Chief Marketing Officer of
Huawei's Carrier Business Group, delivered the opening speech
titled "Green ICT for Green Development". "As a leading global
provider of ICT infrastructure and smart devices, Huawei
incorporates green development into everything we do. We see this
as part of our social responsibilities. In addition, Huawei is
ready to become the best partner for operators in their efforts
toward carbon neutrality," said Cai. "With our innovative products
and solutions, we will help operators cut carbon emissions and make
their networks more energy efficient. We also want to work with
operators and use ICT to better enable other industries to cut
carbon emissions and become carbon neutral faster."
In June 2021, Huawei and Informa
Tech jointly proposed the Network Carbon Intensity (NCI)
initiative, in which carbon emissions per bit of data is defined as
a new metric for green networks. Huawei emphasized that people's
pursuit of better lives must be balanced with the need for lower
carbon emissions, so the company proposed this initiative to better
manage and measure carbon reduction roadmaps.
During this summit, Huawei stressed the need to establish a
platform for industry collaboration on green development and said
that BWS is a good example. This platform will regularly bring
together industry partners and operators to share innovative
technologies and latest practices in how to cut carbon emissions
and contribute to a greener ICT industry. According to Cai, at MWC
Barcelona 2022, Huawei will continue to hold a green development
forum with its partners to share industry practices and latest
solutions, and all industry partners and operators are welcome to
attend the forum.
"We believe the BWS in Dubai is
a good beginning. Looking ahead, we will continue to work with our
industry partners and operators to empower green development of all
industries using our innovative technologies," said Cai at the end
of his speech. "As we envision in the theme of our flagship
exhibition hall in Dubai,
'Lighting up the Future', we believe that together, we will light
up a greener future."
Other attendees who spoke at the event included Richard Mahony, Vice President of Service
Provider Markets of Informa Tech; Dr. Dena
Assaf, UN Resident Coordinator of the United Arab Emirates; Tommy Stadlen, Co-Founder of Giant Ventures; Dr.
Ahmed Bin Ali, Corporate
Communications SVP of Etisalat; Hervé Suquet, Group Energy SVP of
Orange; Dirk Karl, Chief Procurement
