Naspers has set several climate commitments. The company aims to reduce and retain its corporate Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions at zero by FY28, from a FY23 base year. This aligns with a net-zero climate scenario. Additionally, Naspers has a near-term target to achieve a 30% reduction in corporate air travel emissions (Scope 3 downstream) by FY30, using FY20 as the base year. The company's subsidiary, iFood, has set a goal for 50% of its deliveries to be non-polluting by 2025 (affecting Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions).

Naspers has also committed to Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) near-term targets, classified as 1.5°C, by 2030 (FY2028 based on specific SBTi data). The targets cover greenhouse gas emissions from company operations (Scopes 1 and 2) and are consistent with reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Their portfolio targets cover 70% of total investment and lending by invested capital as of FY2020. Naspers also signed The Climate Pledge on 14th August 2022.
