OPPO hits 70% renewable energy use, invests $5.4mln in communities
OPPO increased renewable electricity use across its manufacturing operations to nearly 70% in 2025, expanded recycled content in smartphone packaging to 43%, and invested more than $5.4 million in public welfare initiatives, marking another year of progress toward its long-term sustainability goals.
The achievements were outlined in the company’s 2025 Sustainability Report, which tracks progress across operations, environmental protection, employee wellbeing, responsible innovation, and ecosystem partnerships.
Accelerating low-carbon operations:
Environmental performance remained a key focus during 2025 as OPPO continued reducing the footprint of its operations and products.
The company completed life cycle assessments for 23 smartphone models to measure environmental impacts across sourcing, manufacturing, logistics, use, and recycling.
It also increased recycled wastepaper to approximately 43% of smartphone packaging materials by weight while cutting operational carbon emissions by 1.22% year on year.
Renewable electricity accounted for nearly 70% of power consumption across OPPO’s manufacturing bases, supporting its transition toward a more resource-efficient production model.
Technology with social impact:
Beyond environmental performance, OPPO expanded digital accessibility by enhancing more than 30 core ColorOS applications with features supporting users with visual, hearing, and motor impairments.
The company also continued investing in research and development, with patent applications surpassing 118,000 and granted patents exceeding 66,000 by the end of 2025.
To strengthen digital health innovation, OPPO launched its largest global sports health research facility in Binhaiwan, focusing on exercise science, cardiovascular health, sleep, lifestyle management, and AI-powered health technologies.
Investing in communities:
OPPO invested more than $5.4 million in public welfare initiatives supporting education, cultural preservation, and community resilience worldwide.
The company continued its partnership with UNESCO by donating 1,000 tablets to support information technology education across five countries in Asia and Africa. It also expanded its collaboration with Discovery Channel through the “Culture in a Shot” initiative, encouraging the preservation of cultural heritage through mobile photography.
Embedding sustainability across business:
The company said its 2025 achievements reflect its continued efforts to integrate sustainability into product development, operations, and community engagement while supporting more responsible and inclusive growth.
