Netflix—Netflix achieved carbon neutrality in 2022 and committed to halving emissions by 2030
Netflix achieved carbon neutrality across its operations in late 2022 through direct emissions reduction, renewable energy procurement, and high-integrity carbon credits. The company set targets to reduce emissions by roughly 50% by 2030 and match remaining emissions from 2022 onwards. By 2024, Netflix reported reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 46% compared to its 2019 baseline. Netflix is a founding signatory of the Entertainment and Environment Leadership Alliance (EELA, 2023), a member of RE100 committing to 100% renewable electricity, and a participant in the UNFCCC Race to Zero campaign. The company also installed geothermal heating, on-site solar, and EV charging at its Albuquerque studio campus.
