Tencent scores 45/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Tencent joint 248th of 809 companies scored, and joint 30th of 75 in SaaS / Digital Services.
Tencent discloses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions under GHG Protocol and holds SBTi-validated 2030 targets. Absolute emissions rose 2021–2023 despite 2022 dip. Renewable energy reached 22% in 2024 but remains below 50%. Critical gaps: no third-party verification of emissions data, water consumption unreported, and reliance on carbon offsets for hard-to-abate supply chain emissions.
