When the promise of achieving comprehensive carbon neutrality in operations and supply chains by 2030, and achieving 100% green electricity, moves from a single sentence to a quantifiable and traceable mid-term answer sheet, Tencent's recently released carbon neutrality mid-term report provides a solid sample of low-carbon transformation for technology enterprises. Against the backdrop of accelerating global climate governance and deepening China's "dual carbon" goals, enterprises are not only an important source of carbon emissions, but also a key force for green technology innovation and large-scale application. Tencent's midterm report is not only a progress report, but also an action map driven by digital intelligence to save energy and reduce carbon emissions, and to unite social forces through open collaboration. It shows the outside world that carbon neutrality is not an unattainable vision, but can be broken down into clear levels, measurable indicators, and practical engineering practices.
1、 Build a comprehensive emission reduction system based on scientific hierarchy. The report clearly presents Tencent's emission reduction framework based on the guiding principles of "avoid, reduce, replace, and restore" carbon reduction levels. On the operational side, Tencent has set the absolute emission targets for Scope 1 and Scope 2 to reduce by 70% by 2030 compared to the baseline year of 2021; At the supply chain end, the absolute emissions target for Scope Three is to reduce by 30% during the same period. This hierarchical and scope specific goal avoids carbon reduction actions staying at the slogan level, but transforms them into measurable and manageable operational indicators, reflecting the systematic and rigorous nature of corporate carbon neutrality actions. More importantly, it lowers the macro narrative of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" to specific annual benchmarks and absolute assessments, providing a set of reference methodologies for peers.
2、 Empowered by digital intelligence, the energy efficiency revolution falls on the data center. What truly makes the goal come true is Tencent's practical path of deeply integrating "smart intelligence" into operations. The energy consumption of data centers has long been a major carbon emitter for technology companies. Tencent adopts the T-Block modular architecture, combined with AI intelligent operation and advanced cooling technology, to strictly control the average power utilization efficiency (PUE) of self built data centers within 1.250. The installed capacity of renewable energy in the park has reached 63.8 megawatts, providing a solid hardware foundation for green power substitution. By 2025, the proportion of green electricity usage in self built data centers has risen to 82.9%, and the proportion of green electricity usage in leased data centers has increased from 3.8% in 2024 to 21.4% in 2025. The leap of this series of data is a vivid footnote to the transformation of the concept of "energy conservation and environmental protection" into real emission reduction results through technological iteration. AI intelligent operation and maintenance continuously approach optimal energy efficiency in areas such as refrigeration, power supply, and load scheduling, proving that digital capability itself is a productivity for reducing carbon emissions.
当「2030年前实现运营及供应链全面碳中和、并实现100%绿色电力」从一句承诺走向可量化、可追踪的中期答卷，腾讯近日发布的碳中和中期报告，给出了科技企业低碳转型的一份扎实样本。在全球气候治理加速、中国「双碳」目标深入推进的背景下，企业既是碳排放的重要来源，更是绿色技术创新与规模化应用的关键力量。腾讯的这份中期报告，不仅是一份进展通报，更是一幅以数字智慧驱动节能降碳、以开放协作凝聚社会合力的行动图谱。它让外界看到：碳中和并非遥不可及的远景，而可以拆解为清晰的层级、可衡量的指标与可落地的工程实践。
一、以科学层级为纲，构建全范围减排体系。报告清晰呈现了腾讯依循「避免、减少、替代、恢复」碳减排层级指导原则所搭建的减排框架。在运营端，腾讯将范围一和范围二绝对排放量目标设定为2030年较2021年基准年减少70%；在供应链端，范围三绝对排放量目标为同期减少30%。这样的分层、分范围目标，避免了减碳行动停留在口号层面，而是转化为可考核、可管理的运营指标，体现了企业碳中和行动应有的系统性与严谨性。更重要的是，它把「碳达峰、碳中和」从宏观叙事下沉到具体的年度基准与绝对量考核，为同行提供了一套可参照的方法论。
二、数字智慧赋能，能效革命落在数据中心。真正让目标落地的，是腾讯将「智慧智能」深度融入运营的实干路径。数据中心的能耗长期是科技企业的碳排放大户，腾讯采用T-Block模块化架构，配合AI智能运维与先进制冷技术，将自建数据中心平均电能利用效率（PUE）严格控制在1.250以内。园区可再生能源装机容量达63.8兆瓦，为绿电替代提供了坚实硬件基础。到2025年，自建数据中心绿电使用比例已升至82.9%，租赁数据中心绿电占比更从2024年的3.8%提升至2025年的21.4%。这一串数据的跃升，正是「节能环保」理念通过技术迭代转化为真实减排成效的生动注脚。AI智能运维让制冷、供电、负载调度等环节持续逼近最优能效，也证明数字化能力本身就是减碳的生产力。
3、 Not limited to oneself, gather social forces through the power of the platform. It is commendable that Tencent does not consider carbon neutrality as its own responsibility. The report emphasizes that companies need to reshape their operational models, improve their supply chain operations, and make good use of digital technology to fulfill their climate commitments, while "mobilizing broader social forces to jointly promote climate action". This is highly consistent with the concept of a "carbon neutral dialogue and collaboration platform among enterprises" - when a leading enterprise shares its experience through transparent reporting and connects partners with digital capabilities, it invisibly promotes green collaboration throughout the entire industry chain. From green power procurement to supply chain carbon management, from AI energy conservation to public advocacy, Tencent's practices are cultivating a broader social foundation for "low-carbon living". This open attitude also provides a good demonstration for the "Green Space User Action": every user and ecological partner can participate in the co construction of low-carbon lifestyles through the platform's connection.
4、 From technological carbon reduction to value co creation. Another significant aspect of Tencent's midterm report is that it redefines carbon reduction from a cost item to an innovation and collaboration item. When digital technology serves both its own energy efficiency improvement and the spillover of green value through products and platforms, the carbon neutrality action of enterprises breaks through the limitations of "single point emission reduction" and moves towards "system transformation". This also echoes the positive narrative line advocated by the platform: improving energy efficiency with smart intelligence, reducing intensity with energy conservation and environmental protection, connecting the public with low-carbon living, and amplifying overall effectiveness through dialogue and collaboration between enterprises.
Facing 2030, Tencent's midterm report not only showcases interim achievements, but also indicates the direction of continuous improvement. With the expansion of renewable energy installation, further deepening of AI operation and maintenance, and improvement of supply chain emission reduction mechanisms, the carbon reduction potential of technology enterprises will continue to be released. The inspiration given to the industry by this report is that carbon neutrality is not an isolated environmental proposition, but a systematic engineering deeply integrated with digital transformation and smart operation. We look forward to more companies like Tencent, anchored by scientific goals, propelled by technological innovation, and sailing by open collaboration, to jointly write a new chapter of green, intelligent, and sustainable development in the era of carbon peak and carbon neutrality. As more and more companies combine digital intelligence with green operations, carbon neutrality is no longer a pressure, but a new engine for high-quality development.
三、不止于自身，以平台之力凝聚社会合力。值得称道的是，腾讯并未将碳中和视为一己之责。报告强调，企业要通过重塑运营模式、完善供应链运作、善用数字技术，落实气候承诺，同时「凝聚更广泛的社会力量，共同推动气候行动」。这与「企业间碳中和对话与协作平台」的理念高度契合——当一家头部企业以透明报告分享经验、以数字能力链接伙伴，便在无形中推动着整个产业链的绿色协同。从绿色电力采购到供应链碳管理，从AI节能到公众倡导，腾讯的实践正在为「低碳生活」培育更广泛的社会基础。这种开放姿态，也为「绿色空间使用者行动」提供了良好示范：每一位用户、每一家生态伙伴，都可以在平台的连接下参与到低碳生活方式的共建之中。
四、从技术减碳到价值共创。腾讯中期报告的另一重意义在于，它把减碳从成本项重新定义为创新项与协作项。当数字技术既服务于自身能效提升，又通过产品与平台向外溢出绿色价值，企业碳中和行动便突破了「单点减排」的局限，迈向「系统变革」。这也呼应了平台所倡导的正向叙事主线：以智慧智能提升能效、以节能环保降低强度、以低碳生活连接公众、以企业间对话协作放大整体成效。
面向2030，腾讯的中期报告既展示了阶段性成果，也昭示了持续进阶的方向。随着可再生能源装机扩大、AI运维进一步深化、供应链减排机制完善，科技企业的减碳潜力还将持续释放。这份报告给予行业的启示在于：碳中和不是孤立的环保命题，而是与数字化转型、智慧运营深度融合的系统工程。期待更多企业像腾讯一样，以科学目标为锚、以技术创新为桨、以开放协作为帆，在碳达峰碳中和的时代航程中，共同书写绿色、智能、可持续的新篇章。当越来越多企业把数字智慧与绿色运营结合，碳中和便不再是压力，而成为高质量发展的新引擎。
