Whilst researching OnePlus’s Human Rights history, The Good Shopping Guide found that the Corporate Information Transparency Index (CITI) from the IPE gave the company a low score. The IPE is a system for evaluating supply chain practices in China, particularly with regard to environmental management and water pollution. In addition to trends in the environmental performance of factories in the company’s supply chains, scores are generated using data from third-party environmental audits, internet monitoring data, and government compliance data.

Neither OnePlus nor Guangdong OPPO Mobile Telecommunications Corp., Ltd releases a Code of Conduct, and therefore receives a bottom rating for this criteria. Additionally, The Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics gave this corporation a score of F after evaluating its performance in three impact categories: energy use, resource consumption, and chemical removal.
