MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO Dear Shareholders, As a result of your immense believe in us, we have had exceptional performance and growth in the last few years. In fiscal year 2025, we managed to deliver outstanding financial results as well as have a sustainable impact since our takeover of IDLE in 2022. This shows the hard work of our talented people who focus on creating value for our clients, team, shareholders, environment, and community. Our company, Phoneix, has set a high standard within the smartphone industry due to its rapid growth in productivity, profit, quality, reputation, and green rating. This has helped in the expansion of our customers within all regions due to our highly effective marketing strategies, and positive customer feedback. Within this short period, we have also gained traction for our corporate sustainability model, and have now a precedent within the industry as the leaders. This has been possible due to our implementation of UN SDGs, regular sustainability training and workshops for our employees, innovative designs, incorporating latest technologies, and regularly monitoring our sustainable impact. With our strategy to giving plant pots to our customers we have managed to offset part of our produced emissions. Furthermore, we have not only achieved our goal of reducing wastage, but also managed to reuse 15% of our old products, and produced smartphones with 85% recycled materials. And it is all these efforts that have helped us in achieving the triple bottom line sustainability focusing on economic, environmental and social perspectives. We are ready to begin the next year with a strong base and while we are in a period where technology is growing rapidly, we have just begun our journey with a long road ahead. But I am confident that with our stakeholders, partners, and employees support in the upcoming years, Phoneix will be able to meet the needs of our customers, create value, and deliver our sustainability targets to maintain our reputation as a company that is moving “towards a greener future.”
Sustainability is the new world, so let’s each of us enter this better place and replace all our careless acts to careful ones before we run out of our savings which is natural resources. Gaurav Chandani Chief Executive Officer

So, we entered the market by following the penetration pricing strategy wherein we increase the price of our product gradually but still keeping it at an affordable rate.

Our company did this because the G1 suppliers included countries which are the best in the world for technology and innovation (US News 2021). This even had boosted our reputation.

We did this to create a popularity in the market for our brand and we were successful in doing so as our statistics show that orders generated by our customers were more than the units we manufactured.

CONCLUSION At present, many companies are striving for sustainability, however, most of them lack a strong principle foundation. This report highlights our company, Phoneix’s, sustainability initiatives since its rebranding from IDLE, and how Phoneix has achieved a reputation of being an innovative, userfriendly, and sustainable smartphone. This has been possible due to our company’s vision and mission of brining out the best ideas that follow high sustainability and ethical standards. All of our decisions have been taken in accordance to the UN SDGs and Triple Bottom Lines principles, that help in benefiting the organization, our employees, the society, and our stakeholders. We aim to go above our customers’ expectations while at the same time innovating sustainably through a focus on our KPIs, and introducing our customers them to new technologies. There has also been a strong focus towards regular monitoring not just our impact on the environment, but also on our employees to ensure that they too grow within the company and work in a safe environment. Along with this, we have also sponsored researchers and young professional, and outreached to the community with initiatives to gain insights into how technology can be used to achieve a greener future within our products. Additionally, we have also incorporated sustainable strategies within our company and ensured our employees have a great working environment. We have implemented policies that look at workers right and ensure that they are paid well, along with ensuring that they can have a work life balance. Overall, we at Phoneix strongly believe in achieving a holistic sustainability with people and communities at the heart of our business, while maintaining our reputation as an innovative company moving “towards a greener future.”
