OPPO Releases 2023 Sustainability Report on the World Environment Day
On World Environment Day, the leading global
technology company OPPO releases its 2023 Sustainability Report. In its fourth
annual report, the company reveals its progress and long-term plan towards
sustainability. Guided by the mission of “Technology for Mankind, Kindness for
the World”, OPPO focuses on five key areas towards sustainable development:
virtuous innovation, environmental protection, ecosystem engagement, operation
and compliance, and caring for employees.
In 2023, OPPO pledged for the first time to
achieve carbon neutrality across its global operations by 2050. Through key
actions such as the use of renewable energy and improvements in energy
efficiency, the company is already showing progress towards this goal. For
example, OPPO has reduced its annual CO2 emissions by 2,819 tons with solar
panels and saved 8,947 tons more through energy-efficient manufacturing. The
company also prioritizes product lifecycle management by removing plastics from
packaging and recycling old smartphones. In 2023, approximately 1.1 million
devices were recycled through the Trade-In Service in the Chinese market.
As a corporate global citizen, OPPO also
partners with communities, governments, non-profit organizations, research institutes,
and its users worldwide to take actions on corporate social responsibility. In
2023, OPPO donated over RMB 23.21 million to education foundations and charity
organizations to support environmental protection, youth empowerment, digital
inclusion, and health and wellbeing initiatives.
Over the past year, OPPO has continued to
innovate and drive the adoption of technology in areas including AI,
accessibility, and health. To date, OPPO has filed over 101,000 patent
applications globally, of which 91% are invention patents. According to data
from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), OPPO ranked 9th in
the number of International Patent Treaty (PCT) applications in 2023, marking
the fifth consecutive year OPPO has been in the global top 10. In December
2023, OPPO unveiled AndesGPT, its first self-trained large language model,
which was soon followed by its official entry into the Era of AI Phone, and its
commitment to making AI Phone Accessible to Everyone. Also, OPPO strives to
work with global entrepreneurs and technology professionals to shape the future
of sustainability. Through launching the OPPO Inspiration Challenge, which
called for innovative solutions under “Inspiration for People” and “Inspiration
for the Planet” categories, OPPO aims to bring these innovations to life.
Through its vision of becoming a healthier and more
sustainable company, OPPO will continue to use the power
of technology and innovation to drive sustainable development, and ultimately build a better
world with the joint-efforts of its partners and
stakeholders.
