Tech giants\u2019 climate plans aren\u2019t as aggressive as they sound, according to an assessment<\/a> of 25 of the world\u2019s biggest companies published on Monday. The plans many companies have put together rely too much on offsetting their emissions through unreliable methods rather than setting specific targets to prevent pollution in the first place.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe set out to uncover as many replicable good practices as possible, but we were frankly surprised and disappointed at the overall integrity of the companies\u2019 claims,\u201d Thomas Day, lead author of the new study released by the nonprofit NewClimate Institute, said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n
The report, which includes both tech giants and other companies operating in sectors like shipping and brick-and-mortar retail, gave Amazon\u2019s and Google\u2019s climate pledges a \u201clow integrity\u201d rating. Apple and Sony fared somewhat better, with \u201cmoderate integrity\u201d ratings for their climate pledges. None of the 25 companies received a \u201chigh integrity\u201d rating. The companies were rated based on how clear their climate goals are, how upfront they are about their emissions, and how much they\u2019re reducing that pollution versus relying on controversial offsets. On average, the companies only have plans to reduce their planet-heating pollution by 40 percent despite pledges to reach net-zero emissions.<\/p>\n
\nOn average, the companies only have plans to reduce their planet-heating pollution by 40 percent despite pledges to reach net-zero emissions<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nThe word \u201cnet\u201d in pledges allows companies to make their climate efforts seem more impressive than they are. Companies can reach net-zero climate goals by reducing some of their CO2 pollution and<\/em> using other tactics to try to cancel out the negative effects of emissions they continue to produce. They might try to offset emissions by investing in tree farms or forests that naturally draw down CO2, even though it\u2019s a strategy that has often failed<\/a> to deliver long-term reductions of carbon dioxide building up in the atmosphere. A separate report released last month by BloombergNEF<\/a> warned that the growing popularity of offsets could threaten gains in corporate clean energy buying if companies decide to invest their money in offsets rather than in renewable energy. <\/p>\n
Nearly half of the companies studied haven\u2019t specified how much they plan to cut down on their pollution directly <\/strong>\u2014 meaning they could rely purely on offsets. <\/p>\n
Another problem is that some corporate pledges don\u2019t encompass all of the greenhouse gas emissions for which a company is responsible. The most ambitious climate goals tackle emissions from across a company\u2019s entire supply chain and the use of its products. For a tech company, that might include pollution from sourcing materials and building a device, from running a factory or data center, and from consumers using its products or services. <\/p>\n
The report faults Amazon for not setting a specific target for how much of its greenhouse gas pollution it will actually cut in order to achieve its goal of net-zero emissions by 2040. After the company announced its net-zero goal in 2019<\/a>, its carbon dioxide emissions grew by 19 percent<\/a> the following year as its business boomed during the pandemic. <\/p>\n
Google says that it has been neutralizing all of its carbon emissions since 2007. But it became carbon neutral through the use of offsets. By 2030, it plans to \u201coperate carbon-free<\/a>.\u201d The new report gives the company some props for implementing a new strategy<\/a> for matching its electricity use with renewable energy on a 24-7 basis. But the authors point out that its climate efforts could be limited by focusing too much on the company\u2019s electricity use. That wouldn\u2019t account for a majority of the company\u2019s emissions, which come from its supply chain and the use of its products and services.<\/p>\n
Both Google and Amazon dispute the report\u2019s ratings in statements emailed to The Verge<\/em>. Google notes that it has a target of reducing emissions by more than 50 percent across its operations and value chain before 2030 (compared to a 2019 baseline). In response to the report\u2019s criticism that it has not stated how much pollution it will actually cut to reach net-zero, Amazon tells The Verge <\/em>that it has \u201cnot made any net zero claims based on offsets.\u201d<\/p>\n
Apple, which scored higher in the report, has a climate goal that would reduce its emissions by 62 percent between 2019 and 2030 across its operations and value chain. The report says that Apple\u2019s plans are \u201creasonably comprehensive and already led to a significant decrease in emissions in recent years.\u201d But the company can do more to cut down on downstream emissions from the use of its products.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe\u2019re fooled into believing that these companies are taking sufficient action\u201d <\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nSony, unlike many of its peers with the \u201cnet\u201d caveat in their climate goals, has committed to zero emissions by 2050. The company launched its \u201croad to zero\u201d in 2010 and has updated its strategy every five years. Frequent interim targets, the report notes, are important for keeping companies accountable to reaching their ultimate goal. Still, Sony\u2019s progress seems to have stalled \u2014 its emissions have remained largely unchanged since 2017, the report notes. <\/p>\n
Neither Sony nor Apple provided comment to The Verge<\/em> about the new report.<\/p>\nThe report\u2019s authors call for more regulatory scrutiny of companies\u2019 emissions and climate pledges to avoid greenwashing. \u201cMisleading advertisements by companies have real impacts on consumers and policymakers. We\u2019re fooled into believing that these companies are taking sufficient action, when the reality is far from it,\u201d Gilles Dufrasne, policy officer from the nonprofit Carbon Market Watch that also contributed to the report, said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
