An Unending Curiosity ____
At HTC, we go where others haven’t thought to. Breaking down barriers and creating industry firsts is a large part of our history, which is why HTC has become synonymous with innovation, engineering breakthroughs, and designing the future of human communications as we continue to expand into uncharted product territories.
An Unyielding Resilience ____
Strong character is at our core. Award-winning vision requires taking risks and challenging convention. From the very beginning, resilience has been at the heart of our creative spirit. To this day, we stay committed to our pursuit, believing that the greatest ideas transcend temporary recognition: they influence behavior, shape lives, and inspire new thinking.
A Refined Approach ____
We hold our ideas and our products to a higher set of standards. That is why we design for performance over popularity – and our partners have taken notice. Other industry leaders come to us because they understand that we create great products with an eye for design and mind for engineering that’s celebrated by the industry and customers alike.
A Real Impact ____
It is our belief that technology’s purpose has always been to bring humanity together to overcome and conquer difficult challenges. That is why we always design our technology to generate a real impact – to serve a greater, human purpose that every single human being can benefit from.
A Greater Purpose ____
HTC takes a broader approach to serving society and making life better. We believe that we can make more of a difference looking beyond the obvious, reaching out to people and enabling them to make a difference, and in improving the way we do things.
In early 2014, we launched HTC Power To Give™. By combining all of the computing power at the fingertips of smartphone users and connecting them to international research projects and institutes, Power To Give™ creates one of the world’s largest supercomputers to advance research on ecological and environmental issues, and to help find cures for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s.
Our strengths in design are not limited to creating great looking hardware. Our standards extend to our manufacturing processes, as well. That’s why our factories are among the most environmentally responsible in the world, and why our offices have earned global acclaim, setting the gold standard in energy efficiency.
We have also expanded our environmental initiatives to shape the entire customer experience. Our product packaging is 100% biodegradable, and the HTC One (M7) was the first smartphone in the world built to international specifications of complete carbon footprint and lifecycle assessments. That’s an industry first we’re proud of.
At HTC, we do all of these things in the knowledge that we’re always creating for the future. To that end, we realize that bringing the future to life ultimately rests in the hands of our youth. Through the HTC Foundation and our Summer Family Camp we provide humanitarian and social support to those most in need while also assisting in the teaching and development of a strong sense of character and social values in youth. We believe that the future is for everyone, which is why we strive to ensure that every child has the opportunity to be part of the next generation of leaders and visionaries.
Future Pursuits ____
This evolutionary path is a piece of the much larger journey we aim to take in the future. As we expand into new categories with the Re camera and other upcoming products, it is important to remember what brought us to where we are now, and why we do the work we do. From our people to our products and our social and environmental initiatives, the Pursuit of Brilliance represents the guiding philosophy that has shaped and will continue to shape HTC as a global organization.
