Tencent has set ambitious climate commitments, including a pledge to achieve carbon neutrality across its operations and supply chains by 2030, with a goal to switch to 100% green power or renewable energy where feasible. The company also aims for a 70% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and a 30% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions by 2030, using a 2021 base year. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with a 1.5°C warming scenario. Furthermore, Tencent commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050, targeting a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by this date, also from a 2021 base year.
