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 formal reduction targets. The absence of emissions data suggests that TikTok may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Currently, there are no documented climate commitments or initiatives, such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets or other reduction initiatives, indicating a lack of formalised climate action plans. This context highlights a potential area for growth in TikTok's environmental responsibility efforts. Given the increasing scrutiny on corporate climate commitments, TikTok may benefit from establishing clear emissions reporting and reduction targets to align with industry standards and expectations.
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.
