Xiaomi joins leading smartphone industry players such as South Korea’s Samsung<\/a> and iPhone-make Apple which are also taking measures to reduce carbon emissions across their business operations and supply chains and achieve net zero.
Xiaomi set its first-ever GHG emission reduction target in 2021, which aimed to reduce per capita GHG emissions<\/a> from its self-operated campus by 4.5% by 2026 compared to the 2020 baseline, the company said in a statement.
The statement said that as of December 21, 2022, Xiaomi achieved a 21.12% reduction in per capita GHG emissions against its baseline year.
To support the global aspiration of reaching net zero by 2050, the company said it is committed to reducing its Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions.
By no later than 2030, Xiaomi intends to reduce GHG emissions from its main operating segments by at least 70%, and by no later than 2040, scale this to 98% from the base year level.
Xiaomi said it will also encourage its key suppliers to establish renewable energy usage and GHG emission reduction targets.
Xiaomi claims that through 5G energy-saving technologies such as self-adaptive broadband and energy optimization technology, the company increased the power-saving efficiency of its smartphones.
“Advanced WLAN chips<\/a>, in combination with the WLAN power monitoring and dynamic transmission technology<\/a>, reduced power consumption of its smartphones by approximately 30% compared to the previous generation,” Xiaomi said.
Xiaomi said that in 2022, more than 100 million smart devices<\/a> and terminals used the company’s fast-charging technologies, which saved nearly 57 million kWh of energy consumption and 24,852 tons of carbon emissions compared to conventional fast-charging technology.
In 2022, Xiaomi said it recycled approximately 4,500 tons of electronic waste, including smartphones. From 2022 to 2026, the company has committed to recycling 38,000 tons of e-waste and using 5,000 tons of recycled material in its products.
The company said it is also committed to promoting the development of a circular economy by refurbishing used products. In 2022, Xiaomi said its renovation factory refurbished approximately 94,000 smartphones, 5,600 electric scooters, and 6,200 smart televisions, all of which were sold as certified refurbished products.
