Dubai, UAE – OPPO, the fourth-largest global smartphone brand, has committed to achieving carbon neutrality across its global operations by 2050, in a bid to address the environmental impact of smart devices. With nearly 57% of the global population using mobile internet by the end of 2022 (GSMA), OPPO aims to lead the way in sustainable technology solutions.
Aligned with its mission, “Technology for Mankind, and Kindness for the World,” OPPO integrates eco-friendly technologies into its products. An example is the self-developed Battery Health Engine, ensuring smartphone batteries maintain over 80% of their original capacity after as many as 1,600 full charge cycles, surpassing industry standards and reducing electronic waste.
In the upcoming ColorOS 14 operating system, OPPO will introduce a “GO Green” Always-On Display feature, encouraging users to adopt a low-carbon lifestyle by visualizing the impact of their daily steps on CO2 emissions.
Notably, OPPO actively supports innovators in creating sustainable solutions through initiatives like the “OPPO Inspiration Challenge.” This year, the program received 687 proposals from 66 countries and regions, with 40% focused on technologies benefiting climate actions. During COP28, OPPO showcased Bluepha Co., Ltd, a biotech startup developing biodegradable natural organic polymers to replace plastic, underlining OPPO’s commitment to combat climate change.
Jason Liao, Head of OPPO Research Institute, emphasized, “Sustainability is a collective journey that necessitates collaboration from all stakeholders. We invite more ecosystem partners to join us in working towards a future shaped by innovation and sustainability.”
OPPO’s vision for a sustainable future encompasses manufacturing practices, product design, technological innovation, collaboration, and community engagement. The company aims to shape an innovative and sustainable future for all by aligning its actions with its mission.
