Earth Day gives titans like Alibaba a chance to showcase decarbonisation efforts. But since President Xi Jinping's net-zero emissions pledge, there has been little progress to show from China's biggest polluters, says mak_robyn EarthDay
April 22 is Earth Day, an annual event, first marked in the United States in 1970, for people to show their support for protecting the environment.
Chinese financial technology company Ant Group on April 19 said it has achieved carbon neutrality in so-called Scope 1 and 2 emissions through a combination of energy saving practices, renewable energy sources and carbon offsets. According to third-party figures, the company reduced a total of 37,909.87 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent from its Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, the"equivalent to taking 15,000 cars off the road each year".
