Xiaomi is pleased to share the release of its seventh annual Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report, highlighting the company’s ongoing leadership in accessible technology, climate-change mitigation and adaptation, and circular economy practices.
At COP29 in November 2024, Xiaomi unveiled a new strategy for sustainable development, placing greater emphasis on inclusive products, technology equality, and its “Human x Car x Home” ecosystem strategy, designed to deliver a smart, sustainable lifestyle for consumers.
As part of its commitment to a more inclusive digital experience, Xiaomi enhanced its TalkBack feature, enabling accurate recognition and real-time narration of text in images, providing users with visual impairments a more seamless ‘reading’ experience.
In terms of climate action, Xiaomi not only sets greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets for its own operations but also requires its smartphone supply chain partners to adopt equivalent GHG reduction measures. By 2030, suppliers must reduce annual carbon emissions by at least 5% (based on 2024 levels) and use a minimum of 25% renewable electricity. By 2050, 100% renewable electricity usage is required.
Xiaomi also carries out electronic waste recycling programs worldwide and plans to recycle a total of 38,000 tons of electronic waste over five years (2022 to 2026) and achieved 95.94% of this target as of the end of 2024.
Xiaomi remains committed to driving innovation and breakthroughs toward a better future through its ongoing pursuit of sustainable development. For further details, view the full report here.
