As of the latest available data, TikTok has not disclosed any specific carbon emissions figures, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, nor have they set any documented reduction targets. The absence of emissions data suggests that TikTok may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. Currently, there are no climate pledges or initiatives reported, indicating a potential gap in their sustainability strategy. Without specific targets or achievements, it is unclear how TikTok plans to address its carbon footprint or contribute to broader climate goals. In the context of the industry, many companies are increasingly adopting Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments and other sustainability frameworks to guide their emissions reductions. TikTok's lack of publicly available data may reflect a need for enhanced transparency and accountability in their environmental impact reporting.
Climate goals typically focus on 2030 interim targets and 2050 net-zero commitments, aligned with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure alignment with global climate goals.
Tiktok has not publicly committed to specific 2030 or 2050 climate goals through the major frameworks we track. Companies often set interim 2030 targets and long-term 2050 net-zero goals to demonstrate measurable progress toward decarbonization.
