Environmental deterioration and accelerated global warming have posted great challenges to the sustainable development of the world economy. The telecom industry consumes a huge quantity of energy annually and the consumption tends to increase year on year. In such a context, energy saving and emissions reduction measures become imperative. Taking “environmental protection” as one of our fundamental strategies for corporate development, actively communicates with customers about energy saving and environmental protection measures and closely collaborates with enterprises across the industry chain to build energy-efficient telecom networks. Leading the telecom industry towards an era of ‘green communications’, promotes the sustainable development of the industry towards the eventual achievement of its “Green Communications, Green and Green World” objectives.

To help the telecom industry realize the goal of energy saving and emission reduction and to drive the development of a green telecom industry, exerts end-to-end control over its products, promotes assessment of carbon emissions throughout the product lifecycle, and carries out technological innovations in energy saving and emission reduction. is committed to developing green communications solutions that feature green sites, green equipment rooms, green transmission and green energy.

Developing and using the "Quick Lifecycle Assessment" tool

By assessing products throughout the lifecycle, from raw material procurement to part and component manufacturing, product processing, transportation and usage, and finally waste treatment and recycling, can determine the impact of each phase on the climate and environment and identify key influencing factors. This allows to pursue corresponding activities that can alleviate the environmental impact of our business.

In 2010, built a product environment database and developed a quick lifecycle assessment (Quick-LCA) tool based on this database, which effectively supports the LCA and continuous improvement of products. In partnership with Texas Instrument (TI), completed the first LCA analysis report on FTTx network deployment, and reduced product energy consumption and CO2 emissions for FTTB, FTTC and FTTH. In addition, analyzed the carbon efficiency (CO2 emission per unit bandwidth) in each of the preceding modes (FTTB, FTTC, and FTTH), providing a reference for the product usage in different scenarios. In addition, collaborated with TI to complete LCA analysis on solar sites and conducted a comparative analysis of the environmental impact of alternative energy-powered sites and sites adopting the traditional diesel-electric hybrid solution.
