Xiaomi revealed that it has conducted an LCA carbon footprint analysis on its latest flagship smartphone, in a collaboration with an external carbon data analysis and certification organization which enabled the establishment of a comprehensive process and methodological model for assessing the carbon footprint of smartphone products.  

In detail, Xiaomi’s latest flagship, the Xiaomi 13 Pro, has a carbon footprint marked as 62.8 kg CO2e. Xiaomi’s measurements cover the evaluation of carbon emissions from raw materials, manufacturing, storage, transportation, use and end-of-life disposal. This measurement is in accordance with PAS2050 to ensure data accuracy and credibility. 

“We are committed to this valuable information to inform our decision-making and prioritize sustainability in everything we do,” a Xiaomi spokesperson stated,  “This initiative has allowed us to make significant progress in reducing our carbon footprint and ensuring that our products have a positive impact on the environment. We are proud to continue on this path towards a more sustainable future.”

Besides that, Xiaomi claims that it is a brand that champions sustainable living awareness among its users. Currently, Xiaomi provides over 40 energy-saving products and utilizes the One Paper Box design to reduce packaging by up to 40%. By implementing this LCA carbon footprint management system, Xiaomi takes a critical step towards achieving its sustainability objective and underscores its commitment to developing eco-friendly products that benefit both consumers and the planet.
