Alibaba has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 for its direct emissions (scope 1) and indirect emissions (scope 2) related to electricity and heating. The company also aims to reduce the carbon intensity of its wider value chain emissions (scope 3) by 50% by 2030. Additionally, Alibaba has pledged to decrease overall CO2 emissions across all its businesses by 1.5 gigatonnes by 2035. To reach these targets, Alibaba plans to implement new energy-saving technologies, increase the use of renewables, and explore carbon removal initiatives. The company's CEO, Daniel Zhang, also emphasized the importance of encouraging actions and behavioral changes among consumers, merchants, and partners globally. President Xi Jinping's announcement last year set a goal for China to achieve carbon neutrality by around 2060. This has prompted the country's large corporations to develop their own plans to reach "net zero". However, many of China's tech companies still heavily rely on the coal-dominated energy system, with only a few committed to transitioning to renewable energy sources. According to a report by Greenpeace, Tencent Holdings was ranked as the top Chinese cloud service provider in terms of obtaining renewable energy and reducing emissions, followed by Huawei Technologies, Baidu Inc, and Alibaba.
