As of the latest available data, TikTok, headquartered in Singapore (SG), does not report specific carbon emissions figures, as there is no emissions data provided. The company is identified as a current subsidiary of TikTok Pte. Ltd., and it appears that emissions data may be cascaded from its parent organisation, although specific details regarding this data are not disclosed. In terms of climate commitments, TikTok has not outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives. There are no documented science-based targets (SBTi) or other climate pledges that indicate a commitment to reducing carbon emissions. This lack of publicly available information suggests that TikTok may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, while TikTok operates within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability, the absence of specific emissions data and reduction commitments highlights a potential area for growth in their environmental responsibility efforts.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
