Tencent’s pledge: to achieve carbon neutrality across our operations and supply chain, and to use green power for 100% of all electricity consumed by 2030.
In early 2021, we unveiled our carbon neutrality plan, in which we formulated emission-reduction targets with decarbonisation pathways based on our emission characteristics and digital advantages. Besides reaching carbon neutral in our own operations, we also aim to use digital technologies to help consumers and industries accelerate their transition to a low-carbon lifestyle and operations.

SBTi Validation
We have refined our carbon reduction pathway based on our carbon neutrality commitment and set absolute emissions reduction targets aligned with the Paris Agreement, with targets covering Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, which have been validated by SBTi.
Carbon neutrality across operations and the supply chain
Tencent will prioritize the reduction of emissions and the adoption of renewable energy, which will be supplemented by a minimum use of carbon offsets, to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality.
Energy efficiency
Improve resource efficiency by lowering energy consumption per unit of output throughout our operations.
Renewable energy
Significantly increase the proportion of renewable energy used, especially in electricity consumption; actively participate in green power trading; and explore investments in renewable energy projects.
