Message from the CEO: Inspiration Ahead with Virtuous Innovation
Technologies have completely transformed the way people live, travel, and work
in an era of rapid change. Nowadays, the development of mobile communication
technology has accelerated the digital transformation of various industries.
These technological advancements not only bring convenience to our lives, but
also make us value technological innovation even more.
A futuristic and smart life is unfolding before our eyes. The development of
key technologies, including perception, interconnection, integrated computing,
and artificial intelligence are expected to grow by tenfold in the next
decade. What lies ahead is a new era of Internet of experience, where
technology leaps, reality and virtuality are mixed, and intelligence is
integrated everywhere with everything. In this era of challenges and
opportunities, OPPO will focus on four smart life scenarios – smart
entertainment, smart productivity, smart health, and smart learning, to users
with ultimate experience with virtuous innovations and technologies.
While technology advances forward, the world is also facing the challenges of
climate change. Low-carbon practices and sustainable development has become a
global consensus. 2022 marked the milestone of our transition to low-carbon
development via a top-down approach. We have laid out a strategic roadmap to
minimize OPPO’s carbon footprint and pledged to reach carbon neutrality across
our operations by 2050.
moving forward regardless of the difficulties. “Inspiration Ahead” is not only
how we’ve arrived here but also how we’re going to continue forward.
Over the past year, we’ve demonstrated the brand proposition “Inspiration
Ahead” with our actions. In 2022, OPPO Research Institute initiated the
“Inspiration Challenge” , aiming to call for proposals under the theme
“Virtuous Innovation” and empower technology entrepreneurs and professionals.
Through the joint efforts, we hope to bring innovative solutions around
accessibility and digital health to life and thereby create a better future
for all. OPPO wishes to inspire more people with shared goals to join us, just
like our proposition, “Inspiration Ahead”.
Through our mission of “Technology for mankind, kindness for the world”, we
strongly believe that technological innovations should always aim to create
better products to provide a better intelligent life for global users.
Technology shows its value when it truly benefits people. This is how OPPO
views professional technology and also a long-term commitment.
Inspiration Ahead reveals our attitude, and Virtuous Innovation marks our
pursuit. OPPO is looking forward to moving forward with more partners to build
a brighter future.
In 2021, we announced OPPO’s new brand proposition “Inspiration Ahead” in hopes of communicating with users around the world with a fresh approach, when all of us are facing both new challenges and opportunities. This proposition stems from OPPO’s “Benfen” values: doing the right things in the right ways, and

Message from the COO: Keep Resilient Growth to Promote Sustainability
In 2022, the industry environment has been beset by uncertainties due to the
pandemic. Despite the challenges, OPPO has maintained steady operations,
provided innovative products and outstanding services to our customers,
demonstrating our unwavering resilience and commitment to social
responsibilities. Regardless of the external factors, OPPO consistently
regards sustainable development as one of our crucial strategic priorities and
is devoted
to promoting sustainability across all aspects within the company.
We are committed to operating in compliance with laws and regulations. Not
only do we keep adhering to strict business ethics, laws, and regulations as
fundamental principles of our business operation, but also we require all of
our employees to abide by the company’s Code of Conduct. OPPO launched an
official legal compliance website in 2022, where anyone from any corner of the
world can make a report or submit their feedback. We humbly accept guidance
and suggestions from both internal and external sources.
We firmly insist on technological innovation. Over the years, OPPO has
constantly invested in and made breakthroughs in fields such as 5G/6G
communication, imaging, fast charging, AI, etc. As of the end of 2022, the
number of OPPO’s global patent applications exceeded 88,000, with utility
patents accounting for 90% of the total.
Aligned with our mission “Technology for mankind, Kindness for the World”,
OPPO is not only dedicated to technological innovation but also to digital
inclusiveness. This includes our efforts in promoting accessibility for the
disabled and senior-friendly designs, to create value for the whole society.
OPPO believes we should bring the benefits to users, and leave all the
complexity to us.
We are actively reducing our carbon emission from operations. To support the
climate goals of the Paris Agreement, we established a “Carbon Neutrality
Working Tem” responsible for driving the implementation of the company’s low-
carbon strategies. In 2022, we fleshed out OPPO’s low-carbon development goals
and roadmap, pledging to achieving carbon neutrality in our operations by
2050. For our products, OPPO practices sustainable development by using eco-
friendly packaging materials, reducing material waste from sources, and
promoting electronic wastes recycling. As for green operations, we focus on
improving energy efficiency and switching over to renewable energies. OPPO is
also exploring the integration of digital technologies with traditional
industries by developing a carbon emission data platform, to analyze the data
of carbon emission from OPPO’s self-build clouds services and servers
worldwide. Thanks to the platform, OPPO can quantify carbon footprints and
issue carbon emission bills to OPPO cloud service users.
We stand firmly on our human-centric approach and truly care about the well-
being and growth of our employees. As a member of the United Nations Global
Compact, OPPO places great emphasis on safeguarding employee rights, offering
a competitive salary and a comfortable working environment for employees.
Moreover, we promote talent development and personal growth through corporate
training programs. A total of 24.6 million yuan was invested in corporate
training in 2022; on average, each employee spent 26.5 hours on training.
We are devoted to building a responsible supply chain, moving forward with
suppliers to contribute to the sustainability of our industry and society
together. We continue to provide training for our suppliers to empower and
enhance their development capabilities.
We also understand our role as global corporate citizen and make long-term
investment on corporate social responsibility. In May 2022, OPPO launched its
first “Inspiration Challenge”, aiming to call for innovative technological
solutions that target “Accessible Technologies” and “Digital Health” from
technology professionals and entrepreneurs. The Inspiration Challenge will
continue to provide more innovative solutions to the social issues.
It is OPPO’s corporate vision to become a healthier and more sustainable
company. Keeping this in mind, we will continue to innovate and practice
sustainable development, moving forward with greater resilience and certainty.

years have seen turmoil in the international markets and business environment,
and compliance regulations have become both stricter and more complex. It
takes dedicated compliance management systems and sustained improvement to
ensure that all of our business activities comply fully with the law. OPPO now
operates in over 60 countries and regions around the world, and in every one
of those regions, we apply comprehensive compliance management. This is both
an expression of our Benfen philosophy, and our social responsibility as a
member of and contributor to the local community.
Commitment to the United Nations Global Compact
The United Nations Global Compact is a global voluntary initiative of the
United Nations to encourage businesses and organizations around the world to
do what they can in their business activities to abide by, support, and
implement ten principles relating to human rights, labor, the environment and
anti-corruption, in support of achieving the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). OPPO endorses the UN Global Compact and is committed
to supporting the Ten Principles. We work to incorporate them into our
sustainability strategy, culture, and day-to-day operations, as part of our
efforts to realize the SDGs.
Code of Business Conduct
OPPO is committed to a culture of integrity, Benfen, and responsibility. The
Company has published a Code of Business Conduct and Compliance Red Lines
which reflects the expected behavioural standards for all employees. We strive
to continuously enhance the compliance awareness of our employees through
ongoing training and effective communication to hold employees accountable to
following all rules and regulations and to doing what is right. We also
maintain open communication with our partners, regulators, and stakeholders,
and proactively work with them to build mutual understanding and trust.
OPPO’s Code of Business Conduct outlines the behavioral and ethical standards
that all OPPO employees should follow during business activities. It includes
the fundamental principles and requirements for internal activities, as well
as activities involving external partners and the public. It represents OPPO’s
commitment to compliance with the law and regulations and business ethics. By
far, 100% of OPPO employees in key positions have signed a commitment to our
Code of Business Conduct, which includes taking a test to ensure full
understanding. We have alsocommunicated the Code to over 100 of our
distributors and other business partners around the globe.
Compliance Red Lines specifies the minimum standards which employees must meet
in global business, and requires employees to understand and comply with
applicable laws and regulations to prevent compliance risks. We have zero
tolerance for breaches of compliance red lines, and maintain a policy of zero
incidents of major compliance violation as the bottom-line requirement for all
of our business operations, which has been incorporated into the key
performance indicator of all business units, and no operation can be approved
if it is shown to breach compliance rules.

Compliance Management
In line with industry standards and best practices, OPPO has developed a comprehensive compliance management system that reflects the needs of our business and our users. We focus on key issues, key operations, and key personnel, and effectively combat compliance risks by constantly adjusting and improving our compliance processes and organization.
OPPO attaches great importance to build a culture of compliance. Ongoing
compliance training and guidance encourage compliance
awareness and competence among our staff. In 2022, we organized 90 online/in-
person training sessions on compliance, and 12 communication and training
sessions on compliance for senior management.
OPPO has established the Compliance and Risk Management Committee to
coordinate and oversee all compliance and risk activities across the
organization. For key compliance fields such as anti-bribery, anti-trust,
trade secrets, export and sanctions compliance, and data privacy, OPPO
has developed policies and guidelines according to applicable laws and
regulations and business scenarios, and incorporated control measures into our
business activities and processes to ensure compliance. The Company also
continuously optimizes its management through root cause analysis and targeted
corrective action.

submits a report will be kept confidential, except as required by law. We
strictly forbid any direct or indirect attacks or reprisals against a
whistleblower. There are also separate channels for reporting issues through
HR, the Information Security Department and the Audit Department. They each
have dedicated lines of communication with the Legal and Compliance Center to
ensure that reports from employees and partners are dealt with effectively by
the appropriate team.
Management Mechanism
OPPO’s compliance management systems
Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption
OPPO has zero tolerance for any form of bribery or corruption. We have
committed to conducting ourselves with fairness, integrity, and transparency
at all times, and we apply effective anti-bribery and anti-corruption controls
in all of our global operations. Our anti-bribery management systems comply
with the international standard ISO 37001:2016. We are strengthening the
“three lines of defense” (prevention-internal control-audit) through a culture
of integrity, internal controls, internal audit and supervision, and IT
techniques, to offer powerful control and penalize any corrupt conduct.
OPPO recognizes the importance of anti-bribery/anti-corruption systems, and
has developed policies and procedures including our Code of Business Conduct,
Integrity Policy, Anti-Bribery Compliance Manual, and Conflict of Interest
Policy. These policies explicitly forbid any form of bribery, graft,
corruption, or fraud, and provide comprehensive guidance on compliance for all
employees.
OPPO has created an Integrity Supervision Committee, and a monitoring team
within the Audit Department, with responsibility for end-to-end integrity
systems, including requiring employees to sign an integrity pledge, reporting
of conflicts of interest, anti-corruption training and information, monitoring
and audit, investigation of corruption issues, and raising awareness of past
cases and their consequences.
OPPO invests in building a culture of integrity. All employees are required to
sign an Integrity Pledge when they join the company, promising to comply with
OPPO’s anti-corruption policies. Our internal learning platform (HiO) has a
series of online training materials, enabling staff to quickly and easily
access and understand these policies. The Compamy also hosted a variety of
activities in the Intergrity Awareness Month, including awareness messages,
vedios, quizzes, talks, and discussions, which aims to help employees
understand the gravity of noncompliance, stay within the rules, andconduct
business with integrity. In addition, we also request our suppliers to sign an
Integrity Agreement and to commit to compliance with the OPPO Supplier CSR
Code of Conduc before getting started with the business relationship.

competitive markets. We hold ourselves to the highest moral standards
when dealing with our competitors, and forbid any conduct that might damage
the fair market environment, including anticompetitive agreements, deliberate
reputational damage of competitors, commercial bribery, or infringement of

always operate, in compliance with the law and with the highest ethical
standards.

To help maintain a positive and competitive business environment within our industry, we are constantly updating and improving our practices in key regions and market segments. This includes building awareness among our employees; building compliance control points into business processes; providing standardized templates and language for official statements; etc. We also actively help our key partners to improve compliance by providing toolkits, assisting them in conducting antitrust self-inspections, and offering compliance training to help our business partners predict anti-trust risks, and build our brands together in a healthy way.
OPPO is committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations
relating to export controls or sanctions. We continuously invest resources
into compliance to safeguard the company’s globalization strategy.
In 2022, the uncertainty and complexity of global trade continued to increase.
In response, we maintained our policy of active compliance, identifying and
forestalling potential risks in the course of operations, and mitigating the
uncertainty of the global environment with the certainty of legal compliance.
We carried out comprehensive risk assessments in key areas, then developed
compliance guidance, and adapted our IT tools to impose controls targeted at
specific risks. Training and awareness messaging also helped to communicate
compliance requirements to every employee. As well as these preventive
measures, we also carried out targeted checks and process improvements on key
fields. We will continue to monitor legal changes in the global markets, and
ensure that our export control and sanctions practices remain up to date. By
preventing compliance risks before they emerge, we can support long-term and
healthy growth for this company.
We are also scrupulous about protecting our own trade secrets and
information belonging to third parties. In 2022 we were able to prevent more
than 60 potential data breaches. OPPO’s Benfen values inspire us to maintain
compliance and integrity, and to continuously develop our ability to protect
trade secrets.

Data Protection and Privacy
The protection of our users’ privacy and personal data is extremely
important to OPPO. We comply strictly with global laws and regulations,
including the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). However, our
philosophy is not to act because the law requires it, but because we put
ourselves in the position of our users and think about their needs. We apply
the principle of respect for our users’ data and privacy from the earliest
stages of product design and embed privacy protection into every phase of
processes that use personal data. Only products and services
that are secure and trustworthy can be rolled out to our users.

OPPO has always been dedicated to protecting the personal data and rights of our users. The Company has created comprehensive systems for data security across the full data lifecycle, which are implemented by business side teams working in close partnership with the security team. Data is first classified by security level; for each stage in the data lifecycle, security requirements are fully specified; security compliance is then assessed through security testing and internal/external audits. In 2022, no data security complaints against OPPO were corroborated, and we experienced zero confirmed data leaks.
OPPO data security technology is based on six defensive systems. It
deploys AI and big data to deliver smart, proactive data security, with
security processes embedded throughout the product lifecycle. These
technologies provide powerful protection to the products, and give our users
trustworthy online products and services. Together, they guarantee the

How We Deliver Security& Privacy
OPPO holds itself to the highest standards in user security and privacy. The
security and privacy of our users’ data is as important to us as the quality
of our products. This philosophy shapes our products from the earliest phases
of design, as we are committed to providing our users with a better security
and privacy experience.
Payment Protection
During the payment process with an OPPO mobile phone, we will run automated
checks on the URLs accessed when using the OPPO browser, as well as URLs
contained in received messages. This is to recduce risks to users’ secure
payments.
Secure keyboard
The system automatically switches to the OPPO Secure Keyboard when users need
to enter sensitive information and connect to the Internet, or autocomplete
words. This ensures that their sensitive information remains private.
Screenshots & Screen Recordings Prevention
When this feature is activated, the system will block screenshots and screen
recordings when user uses functions that relate to private information such as
the Secure Keyboard and Private Safe. The screenshot action will then be
intercepted, and users will be notified of such blocking. The screen recording
action will only show a blank, black screen.
App Lock
Before enabling App lock, our users need to set the privacy password first.
When the app is launched, users can access the app only when they enter the
correct privacy password, or use fingerprint or facial verification. After App
Lock is enabled, the incoming notifications will be hidden by default, and
users can view them only when they pass the identity verification. Users can
also choose the lock timing, so that if they choose “no verification before
locking the screen”, they won’t need to verify the identity before the next
time the screen locks, which is more convenient.
Private Safe
Users can move photos, videos, audio and documents into the Private Safe, edit
the title by touching and holding the album or file, and view private files
after confirming the access privilege through the privacy password. This can
help prevent the leaking of important personal files and private data.
Prevent Background Recordings or Audio/Image
If the user has generally granted an app the permission to use the microphone,
he or she will be prompted via the status bar or any use of the microphone by
an app running in the background. When a background app wants to use the
camera, the user will be requested to grant permission.
For more information about OPPO privacy policies and features, please visit: https://www.oppo.com/en/privacy/
Protection against unauthorized access
This function aims to protect the leakage of user’ s information. Any access
by an app to user’ s call history, contacts, messages, and schedules requires
user’ s prior approval. Where no approval is given, the respective function
will either be blocked or blank information is provided.
OPPO App Market
Users can browse, download, install, update, and uninstall apps through the
Oppo App Market. These apps are uploaded by developers. Any upload of an app
musst pass an Oppo test where Oppo provides a security labal based on security
scan reports and reported entries on the resource details page. Users can
report any advertisements, paid features, viruses and other unsafe content in
the app at any time.

Risk Management
Risk management is becoming ever more crucial to OPPO when its business is
expanding globally, and facing a more complicated international eveniroment.
OPPO recognizes the importance of active risk management, and is building risk
control systems adapted to the needs of our company. Sustained improvement of
risk management in our business processes is the best protection for OPPO’s
long-term and healthy growth.
Risk Management Systems
The OPPO risk management architecture is managed by the Compliance and Risk
Management Committee. It is a three-lines-of-defense architecture adapted to
the features of our business, and draws on the COSO and ISO 31000 standards
and the experience of other leading corporations. The OPPO systems identify,
assess, monitor, and effectively respond to risks that emerge from our
operations. Processes include course-of-business risk management, major risk
management, and emergency management; they are defined in our policy documents
Risk Management Basic Systems and Corporate Risk Management System Framework.
In 2022, the risk management systems were continuously updated to improve the
effectiveness and efficiency of our risk control work.

In 2022, the risk management systems were continuously updated to improve the
effectiveness and efficiency of our risk control work.
Risk Management Standards
Our risk management instruments were further improved in 2022. We conducted an
analysis of our operations and comparison with successful industry benchmarks
in risk management, and developed a methodology based on the specific features
of OPPO’s business for building the risk management processes of risk
identification, assessment, control, and monitoring. This will set our risk
management work on a more efficient and empirical footing.
Global Supply Risk
OPPO set secure supply chain as a strategic objective. We analyzed our
processes and the external environment, and identified the over 200 potential
risks existing in our global supply chain. For 30+ of the most serious risks,
we developed control measures. This process further boosted the capacity of
the company’s supply chain to withstand internal/external shocks. We also
improved supply chain risk control mechanisms, including the org structure,
assignment of responsibilities, management processes, standards, and
performance indicators. These changes will help our supply chain respond to
shocks more flexibly and precisely.

Business Continuity
Key actions in business units:
Business continuity is an important aspect of risk management. OPPO has
dedicated business continuity systems that reduce the company’s vulnerability
to risk, and minimize the impact of risks on our supply chain and operations.
Our work focuses on managing material risks and emergency events that could
cause business disruption. This work covers the entire operational cycle, from
R&D to procurement, production, sales, and post-sales. Risk assessments (RA)
and business impact assessments (BIA) identify the risks that the company
could face, including natural disaster (earthquake, typhoon, etc.), supply
disruption for key technologies or materials, fire, and public health
emergency. For these risks, we develop business continuity plans (BCP) and
emergency response protocols, and carry out employee training and drills. This
work boosts the capacity of our business systems to respond to emergencies,
and helps to guarantee efficient and stable operation.
Procurement
Diversified supply plans We are actively developing supply resources to
diversify our supply chain and reduce our reliance on single sources.
Contracts for key/core materials are spread across multiple suppliers and
regions, to ensure continuous supply.
Locking in secure supplies of core materials We have created a new cross-
system process for long-term (18 months) supply planning, involving predictive
planning of new supply and avoiding delivery risks. For long-lead time
materials, we developed a system of floating reserve inventory. We also
secured supplies of core materials by signing supply guarantee agreements to
improve supplier retention.
ISO 22301 certified
Manufacturing
Global manufacturing OPPO’s manufacturing capability is distributed across a
number of global facilities, with backup capacity. We are continuously
building capabilities in automated manufacturing to maintain reliability and
continuity.
Factory emergency response Emergency response plans have been developed for
natural disasters, public health incidents, interruption of water/power
supply, etc. Employees are given regular training and emergency drills.
Sales and After-sales
Flexible management of parts To ensure sufficient supply at our central stores
and local outlets, we apply customized, flexible parts supply strategies based
on rolling, real-time analyses and predictions of market demand. When a
product reaches the end of production, sufficient materials are retained to
serve customers through the remainder of the product lifecycle.
IT
Diversified and stratified IT solutions We improved continuity and stability
in our IT systems by applying multi-level controls to our IT application
system. This involves a high-availability architecture solution with capacity
management, a performance assessment model, and availability alerts and
warnings. “Three Centers in Two Places” The solution includes disaster
recovery in the same site and same city, and disaster recovery in different
places. In the event of a disastrous loss of capacity, we can use backup
storage for data recovery and process continuity.

Information Security Management
As OPPO’s business has grown, our operations have become more reliant on IT
systems and core data. Information security is an increasingly vital part of
our risk management strategy. OPPO recognizes the importance of information
security, and has made it one of our red line security issues. We have
constructed comprehensive information security management/defense systems that
reference the ISO 27001 standard and industry best practice. Information
security risks are managed in multiple lines of defense: prevention,
supervision, investigation and patching. This offers effective protection to
our information assets.

OPPO’s Information Security Framework
Reinforcing Security Systems
OPPO’s security organization, security principles and policies, and security
technologies jointly define our information security systems and information
security culture. In 2022, we continued to build our ability to maintain
information security using technical, organizational, and corporate culture
measures.
Organizational measure (org structure): We created a team of information
security business partners (BPs). In core systems and regions, information
security BP is a dedicated role occupied by highly-qualified specialist, who
can respond quickly to the security needs of their department. This moves the
locus of security work closer to the front line, and better supports our
global security strategy.
Organizational measure (processes): Corporate processes and internal
regulations were updated to reflect the latest industry standards, and
instruction provided to each operational department. Starting with core
business processes, we built in security checkpoints to improve our preventive
security. We also enhanced our digital operations by updating the functions
and scope of our Security Operations Center (SOC).
Organizational measure (culture): OPPO uses a combination of incentives,
training, and accountability to encourage awareness of information security
and security risks among our workforce. Information security is part of the
onboarding training to ensure that every employee understands our information
security rules. Regular reminders are sent to enhance employee awareness. Our
Information Security Incentives and Accountability Rules provides rewards for
employees who flag up potential vulnerabilities and penalties for those who
breach regulations or expose data.

OPPO Kid Space: Eyesight protection for youth users
OPPO Kid Space is a new feature designed for children to prevent excessive use
of game apps. Parents can set up a Kid Space on their phones and control what
their children can use. They can prevent malware, paid software, or changes to
settings, and ensure that children are not getting too much screen time.
Data from China’s National Health Commission shows that 52.7% of Chinese
children were short-sighted in 2020. Particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic,
children have been spending more time at home, and significantly more hours
using electronic equipment. Research shows that screen time can have negative
effects on psychological health, and cause behavioral problems and shortened
attention spans. OPPO launched the Kid Space to help our child users use phone
in a healthy way. It includes monitoring of their posture, how close they are
holding the phone to their face, and ambient light levels. Attractive cartoon
monsters offer reminders if the phone is being used in an unhealthy way, to
help little ones learn how to protect their own eyes.
Accurately recognizes a range of bad postures
Kid Space uses OPPO’s unique AON sensor, built into the selfie camera. It
detects the surroundings, faces, and postures, with low impact on power use.
This enables the phone to detect whether the child is using the phone in an
appropriate way, and to give reminders when necessary. For example, it can
detect if the phone is too close to the face, if the child is slumped over the
phone, holding their head at an awkward angle, or lying down.
Guiding parents on healthy habits
The OPPO team understands the vital role that parents play in shaping the
habits of young users. The Kid Space provides parents with clear data to help
them understand how their children are using the phone, including length of
use, and eye habits.
In the ColorOS 13 user satisfaction survey, this received the highest score of
any function (4.46 out of 5), with positive comments from both users and
specialist media. OPPO is committed to delivering technology with kindness. We
hope that our products convey love and warmth, and support children’s health.

Combating Climate Change
OPPO is determined to play our part in the huge shift to carbon neutrality. It is our duty as a global tech company offering integrated devices, software, and services, and it is a part of our mission of “Technology for Mankind, Kindness for the World”. OPPO has made low-carbon development a strategic goal, and a major objective of our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) work. This ambitious, long-term, science-driven target will guide OPPO as we take practical, effective steps to cut carbon emissions in our operations and in our supply chain, and achieve sustainable growth by helping climate resilience of our businesses and the industry.
OPPO commits to achieving carbon peak in its operation by 2024
The Company, a technology enterprise with operations in over 60 countries and
regions, continues to optimize its low-carbon development strategy. In
response to international climate related policies, such as the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement, and China’s
climate goals, the Company has established a goal to reach peak carbon
emissions in its operations by 2024, making efforts to limit its GHG emissions
to contribute to China’s carbon reduction goals and the 1.5 degree goal of the
Paris Agreement.
OPPO commits to achieving carbon neutrality in its operation by 2050
The Company commits to achieving carbon neutrality in its operation by 2050,
primarily by utilizing energy conservation, engaging in domestic green power
trading, procuring international green certificates, and investing in carbon
offsets and carbon elimination quotas to reduce its carbon footprint. This
approach is in keeping with the mitigation hierarchy recommended by the
climate space, and is consistent with the SBTI (Science-Based Targets
Initiative) and PAS2060’s climate science. Direct emission reduction is
prioritized over carbon removal and offsets.
Low Carbon Targets and Roadmap
In response to the Paris Agreement and China’s 30-60 targets (peak carbon by
2030, net zero by 2060), OPPO established our own net zero team in 2022. We
announced the start of our net zero project, and conducted a global carbon
audit of existing operations. This enabled us to confirm our roadmap toward
low carbon, and we defined 16 ways in which we would be reducing emissions,
over five categories: operations, energy, planning, products, and support. In
February 2023, we released the OPPO Climate Action Report. The report
officially announces OPPO’s low carbon goals: to achieve carbon peak in its
operation by 2024 and achieve carbon neutrality in its operation by 2050.

2022, we carried out our first global inventory of greenhouse gas emissions
audit. OPPO conducted a carbon audit using the control approach defined in the
GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard published by the WRI
and WBCSD, and ISO 14064-1:2018. We calculated emissions from our operations
at manufacturing facilities/warehouses, office locations, and data centers
spread across China, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Turkey, and elsewhere. The
data, as 3rd party verified, reveals that in 2021, OPPO was responsible for
299,279.23 tCO2e, of which Scope 1 represents 3.08%, and Scope 2 represents
96.92%.

An analysis of S&P 500 companies by the Climate Disclosure Project found that
action by a single industry can create much greater climate
leverage by acting on upstream and downstream industries (i.e. Scope 3). For
example, Scope 3 emissions make up 93% of the total emissions of the
telecommunications industry; for the IT industry, Scope 3 represents
86%. OPPO clearly recognizes the importance of driving action up and down the
value chain. In 2022, OPPO carried out our first Scope 3 assessment: we
identified key sources of emissions, determined methodology, and obtained
basic data. That work will form the basis of a comprehensive Scope 3
assessment in the next year.

Reducing Carbon Emissions
Over the past several years, OPPO has worked to reduce emissions in four ways:
reducing waste, switching to renewable sources, improving efficiency, and
recycling. We are committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions from
manufacturing facilities, offices, and data centers to mitigate our impact on
the global climate.
Solar Panels to Boost Use of Renewables
OPPO is making an active green transition, exploring a broad range of uses for
renewable energy. In 2022, OPPO launched a PV solar power project, which will
install solar panels on the roof of five factory buildings and eleven
accommodation blocks at our Dongguan plant. Installation began in September,
and the first phase will complete in the first half of 2023. It is expected to
provide up to 5 gigawatt-hours (GWh) per year. The power will be used to
support manufacturing activities in the Dongguan site. This should save
approximately CNY 500,000 in power costs, and cut carbon emissions by 2,905
tCO2e per year.

Green Data Centers
OPPO is committed to building secure, low-emissions, environmentally-friendly
data centers to ensure user data security while maximizing energy-saving and
consumption reduction.
The OPPO AndesBrain (Binhaiwan Bay) Data Center is the first data center that
OPPO has constructed. It serves as OPPO’ s center for data security, smart
computing, and algorithm innovation. It is also a core element of OPPO’ s
global hybrid cloud infrastructure. To reduce energy consumption and
greenhouse gas emissions, OPPO integrates green and sustainable development
into the project planning. With innovations at the compute utility, data, and
algorithm levels, we were able to achieve significant improvements in energy
efficiency and carbon reduction.
OPPO AndesBrain (Binhaiwan Bay) Data Center
The data center commenced operation in the second half of 2022. In the early
stage of operation with low loading, business is deployed by floor, and energy
efficiency is effectively improved through innovative use of immersion cooling
technology, application of AI technology for business scheduling, cold Storage
tank peak shaving and valley filling, optimization of building automation (BA)
system, real-time monitoring and intelligent control of UPS, transformers, air
conditioners, humidifiers and other equipments.
To further reduce the carbon emissions, the data center uses 100% renewable
energy. Since 2022, it has used 6.176 gigawatt-hours of renewable power,
equivalent to cutting emissions by 3,600 tCO2e.
Through technical research, OPPO applied for five patents about immersion
cooling-related technologies in 2022, which can now help support low-carbon
operations for other companies.
OPPO values our partnerships with other companies, and is also working with
service providers at the data centers where we lease capacity to upgrade and
improve their energy efficiency. In 2022, our upgrades to BA control systems,
airflow controls, lighting improvements, shifting motor-load UPS into dormant
at low loads, etc. helped save 4.26 gigawatt-hours of power, or 2,475 tCO2e, a
reduction of 2.4% on 2021.

Water Resources
OPPO draws its water mainly from the municipal water, the majority of the
water we consumed was used for cooling purposes, for watering our grounds, for
cleaning/washing and for employees’ use. Our manufacturing processes do not
involve the industrial use of water. To reduce our consumption of water, OPPO
has set water management targets, and is using a combination of water
regulation, and new low-water technologies. In 2022, OPPO used 2.35 million
tons of water in global manufacturing sites, the total wastewater discharge
was about 2.11 million tons.

The main sources of noise pollution are air conditioning units, compressors,
and other mechanical equipments. Maintenance and replacement of equipment,
technical improvement, and insulation of noise sourses are our measures taken
to limit the noise and blunt the effects of noise pollution.
To ensure that the waste water, gases, and noise levels are controlled within
standards, OPPO arranges for specialist third party testers to monitor the
environment around our facilities. In 2022, there were no instances of
pollution in breach of standards.

Energy Management
To improve the management of our energy resources, OPPO has established an
energy management system based on the ISO 50001:2018 international standard.
We conduct energy audits and ongoing monitoring and analysis of energy data to
identify opportunities for energy savings, and implement energy saving
projects to reduce energy consumption and cut carbon emissions.

Solid Waste Management
Our waste can be divided into recyclable solid waste and hazardous waste. To
better manage waste and minimize our impact on the environment, we hire
certified waste disposal companies to classify and dispose of the recyclable
solid waste and the hazardous waste (i.e., chemical containers) as required.
In 2022, OPPO produced approximately 27,032 tons of recyclable waste and about
213 tons of hazardous waste in global manufacturing sites.
Control of Pollutants
OPPO products are mainly made through a process of assembly, which does not
produce industrial waste water. Our waste water comes mainly from the
bathrooms in our offices, the canteens, and the accommodation blocks. It
drains directly into the municipal sewerage system.

Green Products
We believe that technological progress and environmental protection are
mutually reinforcing. There is no need to sacrifice either one for the sake of
the other. OPPO has integrated green development into the lifecycle management
of product and conducted cradle-to-grave environmental controls to minimize
the environmental impact of our products at every stage.
Raw Materials Acquisition: Green Material Selection
Green and low-carbon principles inform the design and selection of materials
for the packaging of OPPO products. In packaging design, we apply the
internationally-recognized 3R1D principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and
Degradable). In our selection of materials, we choose products with the
minimum environmental impact.
Using environmental-friendly materials for the circular economy
Examples: OPPO uses environmentally friendly bean-based inks rather than the
conventional oil-based inks in the printing of our packaging materials. In
Europe, OPPO is increasing our use of recycled fiber in smartphone packaging,
which comes from recycled and waste products (e.g. sugar cane and bamboo
offcuts). We currently use about 45% renewable fiber. For the packaging of the
OPPO 5G CPE T2, launched in 2022, we used post-consumer recycled (PCR)
plastics, further reducing our consumption of resources and plastic pollution
of the environment.
Lightweight design for minimum use of resources.
Reduced plastic in packaging
OPPO is increasing the use of biodegradable plastics to reduce the total level
of plastic in our packaging materials. In Europe, we have reduced the quantity
of plastic in our phone packaging by 95% over the last few years. Some of the
remaining plastic material has also been replaced by PLA, a more biodegradable
form of plastic. We predict that in 2023 we will achieve 100% biodegradable
packaging.
The ventilation grilles on the OPPO 5G CPE T2 are made of PCR materials, each weighing about 35g
Selecting low-carbon raw materials
OPPO has developed high refractive index coatings and high-strength PEEK
materials. Use of these materials reduced the weight of the OPPO Find N2 by
about 1.4g. The two materials solved important problems with existing
materials, and enabled us to reduce processing and simplify the assembly of
phones. This reduced not just production costs, but also energy consumption
and greenhouse gas emissions.
Selecting non-hazardous and low-harm, legally-compliant materials to minimize
the environmental impact of waste
OPPO applies the international QC 080000 standard, and maintains a dedicated
process for managing hazardous materials to ensure that all products comply
with applicable environmental laws.

Products in Use: Increasing Durability and Product Life
Product Disposal: Trade in Service for Product Recycling
OPPO’s goal is to provide users products that last. Every product that leaves
our factory has passed strict durability tests to ensure that it can survive
environmental shocks, drops, etc. We also offer repair and upgrade services on
both devices and software to extend the useful life of our products.
Modular design for higher utilization rates
At the end of a product’s lifecycle, disposal and processing can have a harmful environmental impact. OPPO has embraced our obligations beyond the production phase by taking a range of steps to minimize the effects of disposal. We have set up a product collection system that includes a new-for- old trade-in scheme in China and internationally. In the European Union and other regions, we provide local recycling systems with financial support, participate in the Green Dot recycling program for packaging waste, and work with specialist third-party recycling companies.
For example: Phone motherboards, screens, and cameras are modular, enabling maintenance and repair, reassembly, and reuse.
In 2022, OPPO recycling centers collected 1.08 million phones, for a total of
195 tons of products recycled. Our collection, disassembly, and reuse
lessen the release of e-waste into the environment and reduce the consumption
of resources.
Repair and upgrade to extend the useful life of products
OPPO offers free system and software upgrades to extend the life of products.
This indirectly reduces the total impact on the environment. Beginning in
2023, OPPO will offer software upgrades over four major Android releases and
five years of security updates to users of part of smartphone series (phones
launched with ColorOS 13).

Environmental Impact Assessments
Lifecycle assessments are the most important measure used internationally to
determine the environmental footprint or impact of a product. OPPO applies the
ISO 14044 full lifecycle impact assessment method to quantify the impact of
our products on the environment. As of December 2022, OPPO has completed
carbon footprint assessments for all of our 68 models of mobile phones,
assessing all greenhouse gas emissions over the lifecycle of each product.
Based on the results of these assessments, OPPO has developed plans to reduce
the carbon footprint of our products. These plans include innovations in raw
materials and components, eliminating plastic from packaging, green
manufacturing, energy efficiency improvements, lengthening the product life,
trade-in services for all products, etc. Our carbon footprint analysis
revealed that 70% or more of greenhouse gas emissions arise from the
extraction of raw materials and the supply phase of the product lifecycle.
Going forward, we will focus on opportunities to improve the environmental
design of our products, and use low-carbon design and low-carbon improvements
among suppliers to shrink the carbon footprints of our products.

EHS Risk Inspections and Audits
Safety Training and Awareness
OPPO pays high attention to the safe production and environmental management in its manufacturing facilities. We carry out risk inspections to identify any potential safety problems, and remedy problems when found. In 2022, we hired qualified third parties to carry out a full riskaudit, covering EHS, fire safety, food safety, and security surveillance. Across our Chinese (Dongguan, Shenzhen, Chongqing), Indian, Indonesian, and Bangladeshi sites, they identified 996 potential risks, of which 99% have been remedied. Using these results, we also constructed a risk map, which can be used for future safety management work.
Every OPPO employee must understand safety standards, possess the necessary safety skills, and perform their work safely. Health and safety training and awareness help our staff develop the skills and knowledge they need. In 2022, OPPO maintained a program of three levels of safety training for new employees, as required in our Safety Training Regulations. We also organized campaigns like the Tea Talk on Safety, Safety Month, and Fire Safety Month to boost awareness and understanding of safety.
