Despite their different backgrounds and origins, all OPPO employees share the same passion for discovering unmet user needs and searching for new ways to deliver innovation.

In addition to providing great products and services over the past 18 years, OPPO has also played an active role in undertaking corporate social responsibility. Guided by the mission of "Technology for mankind, Kindness for the world", OPPO is making long-term investments in four key areas.

Environmental Protection: OPPO has been committed to integrating the concept of sustainability into the entire lifecycle of its products, from reducing the plastics used in the packaging to improving the lifespan and durability of its products. Among these initiatives, OPPO's self-developed Battery Health Engine helps smartphone batteries maintain more than 80% of their original capacity after as many as 1,600 charge-discharge cycles, which is twice the industry average.

Youth Empowerment: OPPO Renovators Emerging Artists Program has been launched for four consecutive years to encourage young creators to unleash their creativity and imagine the future of technology through art.

Digital Inclusion: OPPO believes in the virtue of technology and is committed to improving product design for accessibility while catering to the diverse needs of different groups. OPPO was one of the first to identify those with Colour Vision Deficiency, and introduce the Colour Vision Enhancement feature, which offers up to 766 display profiles to help users enjoy a more precise colour display.

Health and Wellbeing: Launched by OPPO Health Lab, OPPO Health Research Kit includes a full suite of tools to help healthcare professionals collect and analyze data, making health research easier. OPPO also cares about the mental health of its users and introduced the O Relax application, which includes a series of relaxation sounds and games to help users relax in a fun way.

Earlier this year, OPPO also launched the OPPO Research Institute Innovation Accelerator to empower technology professionals and entrepreneurs to bring their innovations to life. With the theme of 'Virtuous Innovation', the program sought proposals related to Accessible Technology and Digital Health. This year, OPPO received 536 proposals from over 39 countries and regions, with the top 10 winning proposals awarded grants of around USD $46,000 each, as well as further opportunities for investment, technological support, research, commercial partnerships, and global promotion from OPPO and its partners.

Looking to the future with "Inspiration Ahead", OPPO will continue to evolve its brand and business to deliver more value for both consumers and society. On the business side, OPPO will focus on the four key future directions of smart learning, smart productivity, smart entertainment, and smart healthcare, as it continues to develop user-centric innovations and create more intelligent living for its users worldwide. At the same time, OPPO will continue to invest in its sustainable development, empowering global users with greater confidence and optimism while working to build a better future for all.
