OPPO has announced its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality across all its operations by 2050, the latest to do so. This pledge was made in the company’s OPPO Climate Action Report: Climate Pledges and Low Carbon Development Strategy, at MWC 2023.
The company outlined that the greatest source of its carbon emissions is factories and data centers, accounting for 62% and 31.9%, respectively. To combat this, the company said it is working on the construction of carbon-neutral data centers, with its first, the Binhaiwan Bay Low-Carbon Green Data Centre, running on 100% renewable energy.
Further, the company has outlined that it is exploring and applying cutting-edge, low-carbon technology, including immersion cooling technology for GPU server clusters. The company also detailed that the deployment of this technology results in a 45% improvement in energy efficiency, and a power usage efficiency (PUE) of 1.15.
Commenting on this commitment, Tony Chen, OPPO Founder and CEO, said: “Achieving our goal of becoming carbon neutral will require both determination and patience. Guided by our mission of ‘Technology for Mankind, Kindness for the World’, we promise to pursue carbon neutrality with the same zeal and commitment that we invest in our technological innovation.”
