Alibaba Group, the ecosystem with over a billion users and a platform for millions of small businesses, has joined over 200 of the world’s leading sustainable businesses and is now a member of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).
“Alibaba’s position as the largest e-commerce and digital technology company from Asia to join WBCSD will bring valuable platforms and technological capabilities to our collaborative efforts,” said Peter Bakker, President and CEO of WBCSD.
The initial focus of the collaboration between WBCSD and Alibaba will be on climate action, particularly in finding ways to leverage Alibaba’s platforms for broad decarbonization and work with WBCSD members on the “Avoided Emissions” framework and methodologies.
Alibaba has pledged to achieve carbon neutrality in its own operations by 2030.
