Xiaomi reports emissions data and circular economy progress but faces critical credibility gaps. Operational emissions have doubled since 2021 despite a 2030 reduction target, Scope 3 data vanished from 2024 reporting, and the company lacks third-party verification and SBTi validation. Nature and biodiversity impacts remain entirely unreported for a hardware company with mining-intensive supply chains.

Xiaomi scores 29/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.

That places Xiaomi joint 634th of 847 companies scored, and 26th of 33 in Electronics / Hardware.

What would raise this score

Where Xiaomi lost the most points

Its three lowest-scoring questions, and what the evidence didn't show.

  1. Its effect on nature1/10

    No TNFD-aligned disclosure, biodiversity policy, deforestation-free commitments, or nature impact assessment found.

  2. Whether its emissions are falling2/10

    New Smart Factory and EV Factory explain the increase, but absolute emissions are rising, placing the company well behind its target trajectory.

  3. Its climate targets3/10

    Targets are specific and measurable but NOT SBTi-validated.
