QINGDAO, China, March 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hisense, a leader in consumer electronics and home appliances, is advancing energy efficiency innovation across the industry as sustainability becomes an increasingly important part of everyday technology.
Every year during Earth Hour, millions of households worldwide switch off their lights for sixty minutes. However, an equally important sustainability story could be unfolding on the screens that remain lit. With home electronics playing an increasingly significant role in daily life, improving energy efficiency has become a key element of innovation.
For Hisense, green technology begins long before a television 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, showing how AI-driven production enables more efficient and environmentally friendly manufacturing. Building on this success, the Hisense Visual Technology Qingdao factory was recognized as a beacon of customer centrality by the WEF, becoming the first and only flagship factory in the global TV industry.
These two recognitions reflect a broader evolution of Hisense’s manufacturing network towards sustainability and operational excellence – a foundation that naturally extends to its 2026 television range. Hisense’s latest models feature energy-efficient innovation at both the hardware and intelligent functions level. The UR9 series, set for global launch in April, introduces solar-powered remotes in regions such as Europe and Australia, while adaptive light sensors and energy-saving modes adjust brightness and energy consumption, helping users manage electricity more efficiently.
Hisense also extends its sustainability approach beyond the product itself. Their Eco-care packaging uses FSC-certified wood and fibers from responsibly managed forests, reducing environmental impact throughout the production and delivery process in Europe.
Hisense is also advancing environmental product evaluation, with the C3 laser projector undergoing a life cycle assessment and carbon footprint verification by SGS, enabling transparent evaluation of the product’s environmental impact throughout its life cycle.
Many green improvements are happening quietly, thanks to technical advancements that improve efficiency, reduce waste, and extend the product life cycle without changing how people perceive technology. For Hisense, this reflects its vision of “Innovating a Brighter Life”, developing technology that enhances entertainment while consistently reducing its environmental impact.
