QINGDAO, China, March 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hisense, a leading global brand in consumer electronics and home appliances, is advancing energy-efficient innovation across the industry as sustainability becomes an increasingly important part of everyday technology.
Every year, during Earth Hour, millions of homes around the world turn off their lights for sixty minutes. Yet an equally important sustainability story could be unfolding on the screens that stay on. As home electronics play a larger role in daily life, improving energy efficiency has become a key focus of innovation.
For Hisense, greener technology starts long before a TV reaches the living room. In 2025, Hisense Hitachi’s Huangdao Factory was recognized by the World Economic Forum (WEF) as the world’s first sustainability beacon in the VRF sector, demonstrating how AI-driven production enables more efficient and environmentally friendly manufacturing. With this achievement, Hisense Visual Technology Qingdao factory was recognized by the WEF as a customer-centric flagship, becoming the first and only flagship factory in the global TV industry.
These dual recognitions reflect a broader evolution of the Hisense manufacturing network toward sustainability and operational excellence, a foundation that naturally extends into its 2026 TV lineup. Hisense’s latest models showcase energy-saving innovation in hardware and smart features. The upcoming UR9 series, scheduled to launch globally in April, introduces solar-powered remote controls to regions such as Europe and Australia, while the adaptive light sensor and power-saving modes adjust brightness and power consumption, helping users manage electricity more efficiently.
Hisense is also extending its approach to sustainability beyond the product itself. Its Eco-care packaging uses FSC®100% certified wood and fiber materials, sourced from responsibly managed forests, reducing environmental impact throughout the production and delivery process in Europe.
Hisense is also advancing product-level environmental assessment, with the C3 laser projector undergoing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) verification by SGS, enabling transparent assessment of environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle.
Many environmental improvements occur quietly through technical advances that improve efficiency, reduce waste, and extend product life cycles without changing the way people perceive technology. For Hisense, this reflects its vision of “Innovating for Brighter Lives”, developing technology that enhances entertainment while gradually reducing its environmental impact.
