Originated in 2011 as the first media selected award to bear witness and pay tribute to the organisations/individual that made significant contribution to the charity cause, China Charity Festival, now in its 7th year and a major charity event, set up 12 awards in total, among which the CSR Brand of the Year is the highest honour granted to a company. The decision was jointly made by charity organisations, major media and renowned institutions/persons, based not only on the amount of money donated but also on the degree of engagement and effectiveness of the practice. Out of over 1200 companies listed, Dahua Technology was honoured with the title.

In response to government encouragement for poverty alleviation, the company has donated funds to poverty-stricken villages and supported students from impoverished families.

Dahua is also active globally in its CSR efforts. Burma was hit by the worst-ever flood in August 2016. Dahua Asia-Pacific subsidiary took the initiative to collect and donate relief supplies to local people, helping them through this time of hardship.
