Message from Management
The considerations of environmental friendliness social harmony and governance optimization advocated by ESG are not only the
foundation of a company's survival but also define the future of its development. As a tech company in the AIoT sector Hikvision firmly
believes that a company's true value goes beyond technological leadership and business growth; it lies in how the company responsibly
engages with society and the environment to achieve long-term steady and mutually beneficial development.As the global digital economy is deeply integrating with sustainability goals a new wave of industrial transformation is redefining the
broader socio-economic landscape. Against this backdrop we have strengthened our ESG governance system by pioneering the "THRIVE"
sustainability philosophy and fully embedding it into our corporate strategy and daily operations. In 2025 Hikvision achieved the EcoVadis
Silver Medal demonstrating our strong performance and global competitiveness in ESG management and sustainable development. Over
the year we stepped up R&D investment in key technologies such as AI big data and multidimensional perception to deliver smarter
and more efficient IoT solutions for digital transformation across industries. Guided by our "Tech for Good" commitment we extend
technological innovation to areas such as educational equity rural revitalization ecological protection. Through equipment donations and
technical enablement we have supported over 2000 rural digitalization projects benefiting more than 10000 villages. These efforts help
narrow the digital divide and ensure that technology delivers meaningful social value.In response to the global challenge of climate change we have aligned with China's "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals"
integrating green and low-carbon concepts across the entire product lifecycle including design manufacturing and operations. We are
Feng Wei striving to reduce our own operational emissions by improving energy efficiency increasing clean energy usage and building a greener supply chain. We also empower customers and partners with our AIoT capabilities to help them develop a sustainable industry ecosystem.Board Secretary In 2025 Hikvision officially launched the self-developed Green Product Analysis (GPA) platform marking a key step toward enhanced
autonomy and transparency in carbon management.Head of the Sustainability
Working Group We are deeply aware that in an increasingly connected world cybersecurity and data protection are fundamental to business operations
and essential to building trust. Therefore we integrate security into every stage of R&D and have established a holistic protection system
that spans the entire lifecycle. Through a robust management framework advanced encryption technologies and strict global compliance
practices we safeguard network and data security enabling technology to serve people responsibly and reliably. Hikvision is among
the first globally to receive NIST CSF 2.0 certification and multiple products have obtained EN 18031 cybersecurity certification. These
achievements reflect our steady progress toward the goal of delivering "trustworthy technology."
By seeing far we gain vision; by acting on vision we go further. Looking ahead Hikvision will remain open to diverse perspectives and
respond to the challenges of our times with practical actions. We firmly believe that lasting success comes from responsible innovation
and accountable development. Together with partners and stakeholders we will continue to harness technology to protect the nature and
improve everyday life striving to build a future that is smarter greener and more harmonious.April 2026

Strategy
We actively respond to climate-related risks and opportunities through a structured carbon neutrality strategy
covering management systems operations and the broader ecosystem with actions centered on four key pillars:
low-carbon products smart manufacturing digital empowerment and green operations. In recent years the
Company has steadily advanced its transition by improving device energy efficiency promoting the application of
low-carbon materials and expanding the use of solar energy solutions. We also leverage digital technologies to
support industries such as steel and coal in enhancing operational efficiency and quality contributing to greener
industrial development.

To systematically identify climate-related risks and opportunities Hikvision conducts assessments in line with the 11 categories
recommended by the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Through value chain mapping climate database risk
screening and industry research Hikvision identifies and analyzes climate vulnerabilities and opportunities across the value chain and
compiles a list of climate-related risks and opportunities. We also proactively respond to the CDP climate change questionnaire to further
identify potential exposures thereby enhancing management transparency and granularity.Drawing on low- and high-emissions scenarios from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the International Energy
Agency (IEA) we assess the impacts of climate factors across the short- medium- and long-term time horizons. This includes evaluating
implications for our business operations and financial planning. Based on these insights we define our strategic direction and response

Management of Impacts Risks and Opportunities
Hikvision has established a comprehensive process for identifying assessing and managing climate-related impacts risks and
opportunities in accordance with the Environmental Aspects Identification and Evaluation Procedure and the Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Management Procedure. By combining qualitative analysis with quantitative metrics the Company systematically evaluates the likelihood
of occurrence magnitude of potential impacts and transmission pathways of climate-related impacts. These risks and opportunities are
then prioritized based on business relevance financial materiality and time sensitivity. The Carbon Neutrality Committee regularly reviews
climate-related risks and offers guidance to the Carbon Neutrality Operations Working Group on updating the risk list and mitigation
measures in line with internal strategic and external environmental shifts ensuring that climate risk management remains closely aligned

underwent third-party verification of its GHG inventory system in accordance with ISO 14064. This
verification covered the full-year 2024 GHG emissions data for the Binjiang Phase II site and the Tonglu
Phase I and Phase II sites. For the first time Scope 3 emissions were included in the inventory process

may contain mineral resources such as tantalum
tin gold tungsten cobalt and mica. The Company
has established the Conflict Minerals Management
Standard and signed Procurement Framework
Agreements with all suppliers clearly requiring that
supplied products comply with conflict-free minerals
requirements. In accordance with the Due Diligence
Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals
from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas formulated
by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) we have established a conflict
minerals management system for mineral resources and
products including tantalum tin gold tungsten cobalt
and mica to identify and assess risks within the supply
chain and implement mitigation strategies.With reference to the independent third-party assurance
framework of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI)
we conduct due diligence on suppliers using the Conflict
Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) and the Extended Conflict Minerals Risk Management Procedure
Minerals Reporting Template (EMRT). We identify and
verify smelter sources in our supply chain against the
conformant lists periodically published by RMI to ensure
compliance. If any supplier is found to use conflict
minerals we immediately cease procurement of the
relevant materials. By the end of 2025 the Company had conducted CMRT surveys with 2121 suppliers* and expanded
the scope of investigation to include additional minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas such
as cobalt and mica. We also initiated EMRT surveys with 499 suppliers involved with cobalt and mica
