On October 22, Hikvision celebrated the fifth anniversary of its STAR Program for Social Good. As a key part of the celebration, the STAR Program officially launched the Installer Partner Initiative to invite more installer partners to join impactful Social Good projects.
Hikvision STAR is a key component of Hikvision’s sustainability journey, which stands for ‘Sustainability through Technology, Actions for Responsibility’.
Beyond driving innovation to support customers and the business, Hikvision also contributes to society through public welfare initiatives.
With this vision in mind, five years ago, on October 23, 2020, Hikvision launched its STAR Program for Social Good, aiming to provide AIoT technologies, products, and solutions to help non-profit organisations and projects explore innovative ways to benefit communities, nature, and culture.
To date, Hikvision has partnered with over 30 non-profits in 14 countries and regions.
However, over the past five years, Hikvision and its partners have consistently encountered significant obstacles in complex installation environments. Many project sites are located in remote areas, including plateaus, oceans, and forests, imposing demanding installation requirements.
Hikvision’s glacial lake monitoring and protection project, partnered with the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, is a strong example. Teams had to install monitoring devices in extreme cold and strong winds at high altitudes in the Himalayas, highlighting the technical demands of such STAR projects.
Reflecting this insight, Hikvision advanced the STAR Program by launching the Installer Partner Initiative, which called on installer partners to contribute installation techniques. Joining partners can enhance their capabilities while achieving social value and growth through participation.
“Although some NGOs can rely on their IT teams to install cameras, most of them still lack this professional skill,” stated Merida Shen, the initiator of Hikvision STAR Program for Social Good. “That’s why we launch this Initiative, calling for installer partners to join us in this meaningful journey and together create a better world.”
It is reported that the Installer Partner Initiative aims to call on global installers who possess technical expertise and a commitment to social good.
“We look forward to advancing co-creation with our installer partners.” Merida stated, “Together, we build a better world and THRIVE for a better future.”
