Alibaba has made a commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030, not only in its own direct and indirect emissions but also in reducing carbon intensity across its wider value chain. The company plans to decrease CO2 emissions by 1.5 gigatonnes by 2035 by implementing energy-saving technologies, utilizing renewables, and exploring carbon removal initiatives. Alibaba's CEO, Daniel Zhang, aims to encourage actions and behavioral changes among consumers, merchants, and partners globally to support these efforts. Last year, President Xi Jinping of China announced the country's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by approximately 2060. This has put pressure on China's large corporations to create their own plans to achieve "net zero". However, many of China's major tech companies still heavily rely on the country's coal-powered energy system, with only a few committing to transitioning to renewable energy sources. Greenpeace's report earlier this year ranked Tencent Holdings as the top Chinese cloud service provider in terms of acquiring renewable energy and reducing emissions, followed by Huawei Technologies, Baidu Inc, and Alibaba.
