On World Environment Day, OPPO releases the "2022 Sustainability Report"

June 5, 2023, Shenzhen - On the occasion of World Environment Day, OPPO officially released the "2022 Sustainability Report". This is the third consecutive year that OPPO has released a sustainability report since 2020, showing its future plans in the field of sustainable development, as well as its plans in the five major areas of harmonious operation, environmental protection, employee well-being, technological inclusiveness, and ecological integration.

Technology for Inclusive Benefits: Let technology benefit everyone

Today, OPPO's business has spread to more than 60 countries and regions around the world. In order to better serve global users, OPPO continues to explore cutting-edge technologies. As of March 31, 2023, OPPO's global patent applications exceeded 90,000 . According to data released by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), OPPO ranked 6th in the world in terms of the number of International Patent Treaty (PCT) applications in 2022.

In the face of the rapidly developing digital era, OPPO hopes to use innovative technology to let more people enjoy the convenience brought by technology. In order to guide minors to develop healthy mobile phone usage habits, OPPO ColorOS 13 launched a “Children’s Space” in 2022 to prevent children from being overly addicted to games. In the simple mode, the mobile phone can display larger icons and fonts, and can also streamline the desktop layout according to the usage habits of the elderly, bringing a more intuitive, convenient and clear use experience, allowing the elderly to better enjoy technological life. .

Health is a long-term concern of OPPO. OPPO hopes to make "health" a way of life through scientific and intelligent monitoring methods. In 2022, OPPO will release its first home smart health concept product OHealth H1. Based on OPPO's self-developed technology, OHealth H1 can monitor six major health signs with medical-grade accuracy: body temperature, ECG, heart rate, blood oxygen, heart and lung sound auscultation, and sleep. It also provides comprehensive health management and telemedicine services to protect the health of your family.

Environmental protection: moving into a green future together

OPPO has always regarded sustainable development and environmental protection as important strategies for corporate development. Last year, OPPO completed the accounting of greenhouse gases generated by its own operations globally for the first time, and in February 2023 announced its goal of achieving carbon neutrality in its own operations by 2050. From low-carbon production to reducing the carbon footprint of products, OPPO is moving towards a greener future through technological innovation.

OPPO’s low-carbon development path

Starting from the European market in 2022, OPPO will integrate green concepts into mobile phone product packaging by using 100% biodegradable materials and 45% renewable fibers. At the same time, the recycling of electronic waste has always been an important part of OPPO's product life cycle management. OPPO has established a product recycling system, carries out trade-in business in domestic and foreign markets, and promotes the recycling and reuse of old mobile phones. In regions such as the European Union, OPPO has joined the "Green Dot" recycling system for waste packaging and cooperates with professional recycling companies. In 2022, OPPO's domestic mobile phone recycling volume will reach 1.08 million units, and the weight of recycled products will reach 195 tons, effectively reducing the emission of electronic waste and consumption of resources.

In addition, OPPO has always practiced low-carbon development in the design and operation of industrial parks, office areas and data centers, and driven green operations with the concept of sustainable development. Through energy conservation and emission reduction initiatives, OPPO's energy conservation and emission reduction projects that have been put into production by the end of 2022 can reduce more than 6,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions during operation every year, which is equivalent to the amount of greenhouse gases absorbed by 3,330 square kilometers of forest in a year. Since the OPPO Smart Cloud (Greater Bay Area) data center was put into use in 2022, it will use 100% renewable energy to generate electricity and achieve low-carbon operations.

Sustainable development has a long way to go, and we look forward to more ecological partners to accompany us

Technology inclusion and environmental protection are important parts of OPPO's sustainable development, but OPPO's efforts don't stop there.
