We have come to recognize that technology is the key driving force behind our continued progress.

In response, we have refreshed our corporate vision and values to better align with the times and support the ongoing success of our business in a rapidly evolving world.


High Quality

Being customer-centric starts with being quality-centric. To earn trust and build lasting partnerships, we must deliver outstanding quality.

Founded in 2005 by a team of engineers, Huaqin made an early mark with the Lenovo D308 slider phone. But in Q3 2006, a quality defect emerged in the card slot—affecting over 1 million units and costing more than RMB 50 million. That moment defined us: quality became our lifeline. HQ came to mean High Quality.

We committed to “Winning the Future with High Quality,” building customer-driven processes that cover the entire product lifecycle—from R&D and component control to manufacturing and service. Through strict standards, we ensure exceptional products and make Huaqin synonymous with reliability.

In May 2024, co-founder and Vice President David was appointed CQO, reaffirming quality as our top strategic priority.

Sustainable Development

“Easier connecting, Better living.” is more than Huaqin’s mission—it is our commitment to sustainable development. Since the beginning, we have embraced long-term thinking: doing what is right, taking on tougher challenges, valuing lasting partnerships, and building a business that endures.

Long before “ESG” became a trend, sustainability was already part of our DNA. In 2023, we formally elevated our sustainability strategy, focusing on four pillars: Scientific Governance, Green and Low Carbon, Demonstrate Responsibility, and Healthy Ecosystem. Through these, we aim to create a shared-value platform that connects customers, employees, partners, and society.

To ensure meaningful progress, we integrated sustainability oversight at the highest level of leadership, establishing a four-tier governance structure led by our Board of Directors. This rigorous approach has earned us global recognition—including a Wind AAA rating, a place on Fortune’s China ESG Impact List, and an MSCI ESG Rating of A at our first assessment. These accolades reaffirm our unwavering dedication.

Moving forward, we will continue to let long-term vision guide our direction and shared value define our connections. In a rapidly changing world, we will choose the harder right over the easier wrong, walk a steady path toward lasting impact, and work alongside our partners to create a more sustainable future.


Tomorrow’s Redwoods

Huaqin firmly believes in investing in young graduates. Every year, we welcome a new class of dream-driven talents. Through customized courses, team activities, and rotation programs, we help them integrate quickly, embrace our culture, and grow into key contributors. We call these young graduates “Tomorrow’s Redwoods.”

Redwoods are among the tallest trees—but their roots are shallow. How do they stand strong through wind and rain?

They never grow alone. Their roots interlock, forming a shared network that makes them resilient together.

In 2024, the “Tomorrow’s Redwoods” program achieved remarkable results: it onboarded over a thousand new graduates and offered nearly thirty dedicated courses. For the first time, we launched the “Vietnam Redwoods” initiative, bringing 19 Vietnamese graduates to Nanchang for training—opening a new pathway for global talent development.

These young “redwoods” inject vitality and fresh energy into Huaqin. Time and again, we see how homegrown talents thrive and shine, deepening our culture and capabilities. Today, Huaqin is younger and more dynamic than ever. Watching each new generation grow and lead, we are confident in what lies ahead.
