Xiaomi publishes annual ESG reports with board-level governance but remains operationally off-track. Scope 1&2 emissions have more than doubled since the 2021 baseline, making its 2030 target unachievable. Supply chain emissions (99% of total) lack 2024 disclosure. Biodiversity impact is entirely unreported despite mining-heavy supply chains.
