Highlights of the report include:

  • The establishment of a TCL climate change working group and carbon neutral planning chart to set clear roles and responsibilities and establish accountability.
  • A pledge for TCL to achieve carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality in operation by 2050.
  • TCL’s three-step plan to achieve these goals, consists of a carbon investigation (research, goal setting, and solution), carbon peaking (building capacity, taking action to reduce carbon emissions), and carbon neutrality (how to sustain momentum to continually reduce carbon emissions).
  • The establishment of a green industrial ecosystem: promoting joint collaboration between the industry supply chain and wider society to create a clean, carbon-free ecosystem.
  • Guiding TCL into green development and reducing carbon emissions through driving low-carbon changes in factories and operation centers, setting the industry benchmark for energy efficiency through technological innovation.
  • Leveraging TCL’s industry leadership to promote upstream and downstream companies to jointly reduce carbon emissions.

Packaging with Purpose – Planet-Friendly Materials and Thoughtful Design

In addition to laying out its ambitious plans to achieve carbon neutrality, TCL also highlighted the efforts it is making to make its products more sustainable. As a brand that shipped 23.78 million branded smart TVs worldwide in 2022, TCL recognizes it has a responsibility to embrace eco-conscious materials across all aspects of its product design, such as promoting the use of soybean ink, recyclable paper and paper packaging materials certified by Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), as well as using ABS recyclable plastics. Besides, TCL has also made its new air conditioner, refrigerator and washing machine models more environmentally friendly, providing consumers with features that lower the overall impact on the environment.

From green factory to green supply chain, TCLGreen is a global initiative by TCL to inspire greatness and to help amplify the significance of sustainability efforts to local and global communities, creating a greener planet for all. It is also a significant milestone in the company’s ESG journey.
