GDS Holdings offers only limited insight into its climate-policy lobbying. The company does identify one specific policy arena—participation in Beijing’s carbon trading pilot scheme, noting that “eight of our Beijing data centers were selected as key carbon emission entities, and invited to participate in the carbon trading pilot scheme organized by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment in 2021.” Beyond naming this single scheme, however, it gives no further particulars on how it interacted with policymakers: there is no description of meetings, submissions, industry association activity, or other mechanisms, nor are any governmental targets named. Likewise, the disclosure does not set out what the company hoped to achieve through its involvement; it merely records that the data centers had surplus emission allowances to sell without explaining whether it sought to shape the programme’s design or future evolution. As a result, while a lone policy reference is provided, the absence of detail on engagement methods and desired policy outcomes leaves the overall transparency of the company’s climate-lobbying activities minimal.
