As of the latest available data, TikTok has not publicly disclosed specific carbon emissions figures or detailed climate commitments. Without emissions data, it is challenging to provide a comprehensive overview of their carbon footprint or reduction targets. However, TikTok is part of a growing trend among tech companies to address climate change and reduce their environmental impact. While specific reduction initiatives or targets have not been outlined, the company is likely to be exploring strategies to align with industry standards and best practices in sustainability. This includes potential commitments to reduce Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy, and other indirect emissions in the value chain, respectively. In the absence of concrete data, it is essential for TikTok to establish clear climate commitments and reduction targets to enhance transparency and accountability in their environmental 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.
TIKTOK is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
