Emir BardakçıForbes China has released its 2025 list of leaders in ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance), and Xiaomi has earned a place among the top 50. This is more than a headline for us—it’s a tangible nod to years of sustained work in innovation, compliance, and sustainable development.
Our inclusion signals that Xiaomi isn’t just about making devices. We are committed to responsible business at scale. Sharing this recognition beside other major industry players serves as proof that our ESG strategies aren’t just for show—they’re shaping industry standards.
The Forbes report details a key trend: China’s most forward-looking companies are integrating artificial intelligence deep into their ESG processes. Over one-third of the companies listed, Xiaomi included, are leveraging AI not as a buzzword, but as a driving force for performance improvement. Whether it’s risk management, optimizing office efficiency, or enhancing accessibility—AI is now a core enabler. For Xiaomi, this means practical progress in embedding new technology into our value system, crystallizing our commitment to a sustainable future.
Of course, with every new technology comes a new challenge. Forbes notes that AI presents particular concerns: privacy and algorithmic bias remain hot button topics. Thirty-six percent of the listed companies already have ethics mechanisms in place to keep their AI deployment responsible. Xiaomi is moving in this direction, applying AI for real-world impact—think accurate carbon tracking and risk monitoring—while maintaining governance and transparency top of mind.
This balance of innovation and responsibility is no longer negotiable; it’s an essential pillar for any enterprise seeking longevity and trust in today’s marketplace. And for Xiaomi, inclusion in the ESG Top 50 is evidence that we are advancing along the right path.
