Sogou Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Tencent Holdings Limited

Sogou Inc., headquartered in China (CN), has set ambitious climate commitments aimed at significantly reducing its carbon emissions. Although specific emissions data for the most recent year is not available, the company has established targets to reduce its absolute greenhouse gas emissions. Sogou commits to a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by FY2030, using FY2023 as the baseline year. This commitment aligns with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and is designed to meet the necessary reductions to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Additionally, Sogou plans to measure and address its Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from its value chain. The targets were approved through a streamlined validation route for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), reflecting the company's proactive approach to climate action. It is important to note that Sogou's climate initiatives are cascaded from its parent company, Sogou Inc., and performance data may also be influenced by Tencent Holdings Limited, which is a current subsidiary. This corporate relationship underscores Sogou's commitment to sustainability within a broader corporate framework.
