Xiaomi has announced its zero-carbon philosophy, and laid out its goals to reach by 2040. The company detailed its plans in a blog post, which got reshared by the company’s CEO on Twitter.
The company says that it wanted to emphasize its commitment to reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and move to a low-carbon society. So, what is Xiaomi planning?
Xiaomi unveils its zero-carbon philosophy and goals it plans to reach by 2040
Well, by 2030, the company wants to reduce GHG emissions from its main operating segments by at least 70% from the base year level. By no later than 2040, Xiaomi plans to reduce GHG emission from its main operating segments by at least 98%, with pre-conditions in place to achieve net zero emissions.
The company will prioritize the use of low-carbon technologies, long-term green power purchase agreements, and on-site renewable energy generation to reduce GHG emissions. On top of that, Xiaomi will encourage key suppliers to establish renewable energy usage and push them towards GHG emission reduction.
Xiaomi goes into way more detail in its blog post, if you’d like to get into the specifics. These are the company’s goals, basically, and Xiaomi does explain how it plans to reach those goals on its website.
Apple & Samsung also shared some plans earlier this year
Many companies are pushing towards recycling, reducing greenhouse gas, and more. That is always commendable, and the more of them do it, the better. We have only one planet to live on, and we should take good care of it… which we’re not doing at the moment.
As a reminder, Apple recently promised to use 100% recycled cobalt in batteries by 2025. The company laid out some other plans too, which you can read more about by clicking here. On the flip side, back in February, Samsung said that its goal is to use 100% recycled plastic parts in all of its smartphones by 2050.
