Sustainability, accessibility, and inclusion
Targeting net-zero emissions by 2050
Sustainable practices that lighten our environmental footprint, preserve natural resources, reduce emissions, promote a circular economy, and build a cleaner and more efficient cloud infrastructure are core to how we operate globally. The Exponential Roadmap Initiative, an accredited partner of the United Nations Race to Zero, has recognized our targets to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and halve our total greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, relative to a 2020 baseline.
