HANGZHOU, China, April 27, 2025 /CNW/ — Hikvision has published its 2024 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, marking seven consecutive years of sharing its ESG commitments and practices. Notably, the THRIVE sustainability philosophy was introduced for the first time. Guided by “Tech for Good”, Hikvision outlines five focus areas — Harmony, Reliability, Integrity, Value Chain and Environment.

By thoroughly reviewing the global policies, ESG rating criteria and stakeholder perspectives, Hikvision identified 3 material topics: ‘Technological Innovation’, ‘Cybersecurity and Data Protection’, and ‘Response to Climate Change’.

Driving social progress through innovation

Hikvision has long explored innovative approaches to addressing social challenges. In urban governance, Hikvision has provided traffic management solutions across over 300 cities, optimizing traffic flow at over 53,000 intersections. In industrial digitalization, Hikvision partnered with CHN Energy to develop large-scale, real-time, and non-destructive bi-spectrum rapid coal quality analysis technology, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods.

With its STAR Program for Social Good, Hikvision leverages its technologies to preserve wildlife, environment and culture. By 2024, Hikvision has partnered with over 30 NGOs. Notable efforts include enhancing fire prevention at Lanxi Bridge, an ancient wooden bridge built in 1574, and upgrading the observation system at South Africa’s Kariega Game Reserve.

Enhancing the reliability of cybersecurity and data protection

Hikvision consistently prioritizes cybersecurity and data protection, a commitment that has been recognized by prestigious certifications, including ISO 27017, ISO 27018, DCMM, and IEC 62443-4-1, among others. 

Furthermore, Hikvision places a strong emphasis on skills and training. In 2024, Hikvision launched 26 cybersecurity-themed courses and conducted 171 training sessions, achieving 100% employee engagement. Hikvision is also fostering the next generation of talent by supporting the inaugural Hackathon at ISE 2025 in Barcelona.

Tackling climate change with low-carbon strategies

Hikvision integrates decarbonization strategies into its corporate policies, establishing a carbon-neutral business blueprint focused on low-carbon products, intelligent manufacturing, green operations, and digital transformation.

Key milestones include Hikvision’s Carbon Footprint Verification for 103 models and the world’s first certification for Carbon Footprint of Product Process from Bureau Veritas. 16 of Hikvision’s LED displays received the Green Product Mark certification issued by TÜV Rheinland, making them the first in the LED display industry to achieve this distinction.

Hikvision remains committed to sustainability, laying a solid foundation for stable operations and shared value. With ongoing initiatives, we THRIVE for a better future.

Eqvista Launches Company-Sponsored Tender Offers, Expanding Private Market Liquidity Capabilities

Published

By

New tender offer capabilities connect equity management with real-time valuation data covering approximately 65,000 private companies with a combined estimated value of $9 trillion, laying the groundwork for future secondary marketplace capabilities.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eqvista, a leading equity management and valuation platform serving more than 25,000 companies, today announced the launch of company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, enabling private companies to organize structured liquidity events directly within their equity management platform. The launch also marks a step toward Eqvista’s planned secondary marketplace capabilities.

As companies stay private longer, employees and early investors face limited opportunities to sell their shares. Meanwhile, organizing liquidity events involves complex decisions around pricing, participant eligibility, approvals, and ownership changes.

Eqvista brings these processes together through a company-controlled tender offer workflow, supported by its equity management infrastructure and Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® technology.

“With Eqvista, private companies can help their employees and early investors turn their shares into cash, rewarding them for their contributions to the company,” said Tomas Milar, Founder and CEO of Eqvista. “We already help companies manage ownership and understand their value. Bringing tender offers into the same platform is a natural next step toward connecting equity management, valuation, and liquidity.”

Company-Controlled Tender Offers

Eqvista’s new capabilities allow companies to manage tender offers while maintaining control over participation, transaction terms, and ownership changes.

Key features include:

Cap table integration: Automatically record completed ownership changes.Participant controls: Define eligible buyers and sellers and offer windows.Allocation rules: Set transaction limits, pro rata allocations, and priorities.Integrated approvals: Manage approval requirements and rights of first refusal.Valuation-informed pricing: Reference Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® data when evaluating transaction pricing.

By integrating these processes, Eqvista aims to reduce the administrative complexity of organizing liquidity events while helping companies maintain control over their shareholder base.

Building Toward a Secondary Marketplace

Building on its company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, Eqvista plans to expand into secondary marketplace infrastructure designed to support structured, company-approved liquidity programs. By connecting ownership records, real-time valuation data, and private share transactions within one platform, Eqvista aims to make private market liquidity more accessible while allowing companies to maintain control over participation and ownership changes. Further details will be announced as development progresses, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
