[Shanghai, China, June 28, 2022] Huawei Smart PV has been awarded the product Carbon Footprint Verification Opinion Statement issued by the British Standards Institution (BSI), which is the world's first carbon footprint statement of inverter products issued by BSI.

As the source of international standards, BSI is a special adviser to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and is recognized as the authoritative body that issued the world's first carbon footprint standard, PAS 2050. The award of this carbon footprint verification statement is a recognition of Huawei's ability to assess the full life cycle carbon footprint reporting of products, and the result of Huawei's efforts in reducing carbon emissions, increasing the share of renewable energy and promoting circular economy. Huawei's development concept of "green, low-carbon and sustainable" runs through the entire life cycle of inverter products. The recognition by the authoritative institution BSI will be of great significance to the establishment and development of the carbon footprint management system in the photovoltaic industry.

With the "3060" dual carbon target proposed, as the main force of renewable energy photovoltaic industry ushered in explosive growth. Although photovoltaic power generation is recognized as an important way to reduce carbon emissions, it does not mean that photovoltaic products are low-carbon. According to the "Clean Production Research Report of China's photovoltaic Industry", photovoltaic power stations can not achieve zero carbon emissions in 1.3 years in the 25-year life cycle. Therefore, the carbon footprint is crucial for the decarbonization of energy systems, and it is particularly critical to understand and manage the carbon footprint and carbon emission impact during the manufacturing process of each component of photovoltaic systems. In Europe and other countries and regions, carbon footprint is regarded as an important option for equipment bidding. Advanced green manufacturing enterprises with authoritative certification of carbon footprint can really help customers develop low-carbon and high-quality photovoltaic projects.

Looking ahead, Huawei will continue to strengthen low-carbon capacity building, develop more eco-friendly carbon footprint products with innovative technologies, accelerate carbon emission reduction for itself and its customers, and strive for a green and bright future in line with the Sustainable Development Goals.

[中国，上海，2022年6月28日] 华为智能光伏荣获英国标准协会BSI（British Standards Institution，以下简称BSI）颁发的产品碳足迹核查意见声明书，这是BSI颁发的全球首份逆变器产品碳足迹声明。

作为国际标准之源，BSI是联合国气候变化框架公约的特别顾问，是发布全球首个碳足迹标准PAS 2050的机构，具有公认的权威性。这份碳足迹核查声明的授予，是对华为评估产品全生命周期碳足迹报告能力的肯定，也是华为在减少碳排放、加大可再生能源占比、促进循环经济三方面努力的成果。华为“绿色、低碳、可持续”的发展理念贯穿逆变器产品整个生命周期，获得权威机构BSI的认可，将对光伏行业碳足迹管理体系的建立和发展具有重要意义。

随着“3060”双碳目标的提出，作为可再生能源主力军的光伏产业迎来爆发式增长。虽然光伏发电是公认降低碳排放的重要途径，但并不代表光伏产品都是低碳的，据《中国光伏产业清洁生产研究报告》披露，光伏电站在25年生命周期内有1.3年无法做到零碳排放。因此，碳足迹对于能源系统脱碳至关重要，了解并管理光伏系统各部件生产制造过程中的碳足迹和碳排放影响尤为关键。在欧洲等国家和地区将碳足迹作为设备招标的重要选项，具备碳足迹权威认证的绿色制造先进企业，可以真正助力客户开发低碳高质量的光伏项目。

展望未来，华为将继续加强低碳能力建设，以创新技术研发更多生态友好型碳足迹产品，加速自身和客户的碳减排，秉承可持续发展目标携手迈向绿色美好未来。
