Progress to date

• 100% renewable electricity
  In 2025, we achieved our goal to match 100% of our annual electricity use with renewable energy, avoiding more than 4 million metric tons of carbon emissions between 2020 and 2025.
• Sustainable buildings
  New buildings are designed in alignment with green standards such as LEED, and we are retrofitting existing buildings with energy-efficient LED lighting and HVAC systems. We have partnered with the World Economic Forum and The Clean Air Fund’s Alliance for Clean Air, the first global private sector initiative to establish a method for quantifying air pollutant emissions from our buildings.
• Efficient data centers
  Our data centers use automated energy management with real-time energy data, and next-generation architectures that leverage Open Compute Project standards to optimize power usage effectiveness. We deploy high-efficiency cooling systems that combine approaches such as closed-loop and non-evaporative liquid cooling systems that reuse water, air-side economization, rear-door heat exchangers, hot/cold aisle containment, and automated controls.
• Sustainable hardware
  Our hardware is designed for longevity, repairability, and recyclability. We use efficient IT infrastructure, integrated phase-shedding in power supply design, and AI and IT workload-optimized firmware to avoid wasted energy and increase efficiency. Our product design teams continually upgrade server configurations to minimize embedded and operational carbon, and select servers are ENERGY STAR certified.
• Supply chain engagement
  By 2025, 100% of key suppliers—representing more than 80% of our spend—had environmental programs in place, and more than 80% had set emissions reduction targets, enabling us to meet our 2025 supplier goal. We collaborate with suppliers for improved product data and emissions reporting through the Responsible Business Alliance.
• Air travel reduction
  By the end of 2025, we reduced employee air travel emissions by 67% from our 2019 baseline, surpassing our 2025 goal. This progress reflects greater use of web conferencing, limits on nonessential travel, and collaboration with travel providers to reduce travel-related environmental impacts.

We’re committed to achieving net-zero emissions across our global value chain by 2050 and halving total greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. We will continue to power our office operations and public cloud services with carbon-free electricity and rigorously track and report annual climate data with third-party assurance.

With rapid AI growth driving expansion of our custom AI data centers and high performance AI cluster capacity, we anticipate a near-term rise in energy use and emissions, particularly from capital goods. This reflects strong customer demand and innovation, but it also means we must continually evolve how we measure and manage climate impacts.

• 20% reduction in carbon emissions per megawatt of IT capacity by 2030
  We aim to reduce carbon emissions per megawatt of IT capacity by 20% by 2030, relative to a 2020 baseline. This ensures that as our total cloud and AI capacity grows, each computing unit is delivered more efficiently, with a lower carbon footprint.
• 100% carbon-free electricity for our custom AI data centers by 2035
  We aim to match the electricity consumed in our emerging custom AI data centers, including dedicated AI clusters, with 100% carbon-free electricity by 2035. This will allow us to invest in scalable clean energy solutions for future AI growth.

• Decarbonizing energy supply
  We are actively expanding renewable and carbon-free energy sourcing—especially for our growing custom AI data centers, which include large, dedicated AI clusters. In September 2026, we announced plans to pursue investments in more than 1.7 GW and 2 GW of carbon-free and renewable electricity in Texas and New Mexico, respectively, to power local grids supporting our new data centers. We plan to sign additional long-term solar and wind power purchase agreements and explore scalable, emerging clean energy technologies that also support grid stability, including nuclear and energy storage.
• Enhancing building and data center efficiency
  We plan to raise energy efficiency standards across our facilities, introducing next-generation cooling, phasing out refrigerants and chemicals with high global warming potential, and adopting low-carbon construction materials. In addition, our regular assessments and upgrades will help keep us at the forefront of data center operations and enable compliance with standards such as the EU Energy Code of Conduct and ISO 14001.
• Reducing upstream and downstream server and IT-related emissions
  We plan to refine supplier requirements for renewable energy and recycled content, seek lower-carbon, longer-lasting materials and products through supply chain innovations, and expand product lifecycle assessments. We will continue to scale our hardware take-back and reuse initiatives that maximize asset lifespans via laptop, IT component, and server hardware redeployment.
• Promoting clean and efficient transportation
  We plan to continuously improve logistics and transportation by incentivizing sustainable commuting, partnering with travel providers on solutions such as sustainable aviation fuel, and transitioning more of our business vehicle fleet to electric vehicles.
• Scaling carbon removals
  We plan to regularly assess high-quality carbon removal projects and increase procurement as our operational and value chain emissions evolve. In 2026, we announced a project with Wild Bioscience to explore a potential new pathway for carbon removal through more productive, resilient crops. We also announced US$1 million in funding to support research into the potential for carbon capture and sequestration, building on our broader commitment to responsible growth for our custom AI data center communities.
• Advocacy and policy engagement
  We plan to continue to actively participate in industry collaborations and public policy initiatives that support responsible growth and advance sustainability standards across our industry and value chain.
• Transparency
  Our response to the annual CDP climate change questionnaire contains detailed information about our climate change strategy, governance, and management of climate-related risks and opportunities. It can be found on the Practices page of this report along with other key disclosures, reports, and datasheets.

• Landfill waste reduction
  By the conclusion of our CY2025 target, we surpassed our goal and achieved a 54% reduction in landfill waste at owned facilities from our 2015 baseline, thanks to expanded recycling, composting, and diversion programs across our campuses.
• Circular product design
  We design our hardware with longevity, repairability, and recyclability in mind. Our take-back and recycling initiatives enable electronic waste from our data centers that we or our partners collect to be responsibly processed and diverted away from landfill, where possible, through our global asset recovery network.

• 90% landfill waste diversion or avoidance by 2035
  We aim to divert or avoid at least 90% of landfill waste from our offices, data centers, and hardware product lines by 2035. This commitment aligns our operations with global zero-waste principles and emerging regulations, such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.

• Supplier collaboration
  Our supplier partnerships will increasingly be shaped by recycled content and sustainable product criteria, guided by responsible sourcing frameworks. We plan to leverage supplier scorecards to track progress.
• Designing for circularity
  We plan to continue innovating product and packaging design to reduce material use, increase recycled content, and extend product lifespans.
• Reducing material inputs
  We’re working to shrink the total volume of materials we consume by rethinking product requirements, increasing efficiencies in operations, and partnering with our supply chain to support lighter, lower-waste solutions.
• Continued e-waste recovery and reuse
  We plan to continue scaling closed-loop asset recovery, remanufacturing, and hardware reuse programs. We’ll seek to maximize opportunities to reuse parts within our value chain before recycling externally via third-party vendors.
• Expand onsite infrastructure
  To maximize landfill diversion, we are actively expanding our composting programs, introducing new recycling streams, and further integrating circularity principles into hardware and packaging design.

• Water efficiency
  By the end of CY2025, we surpassed our goal and reduced potable water use at owned facilities by 57% relative to a 2015 baseline through investments in high-efficiency data center cooling, low-flow fixtures, water recycling systems, and drought-smart landscaping.
• Global conservation work
  For more than three decades, we have supported biodiversity preservation by donating both funding and technology to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, advancing research and wildlife protection. As a founding funder of National Geographic Pristine Seas, we’ve helped protect more than 6.9 million square kilometers of ocean. Our ongoing support of Save the Redwoods League will help enable restoration of more than 70,000 acres of California redwood forest.

• Halve water use in water-stressed regions by 2035
  We are setting a goal to halve our water use in areas experiencing high water stress, against a 2025 baseline. This will be measured in water use per megawatt of IT capacity in data centers and water use per square foot in office buildings.
• Strengthen local biodiversity
  We’re taking greater steps to help preserve natural habitats as our business grows so the places where we build and operate remain healthy for both people and wildlife.

• Water-efficient operations
  We plan to use high-efficiency cooling and power systems, expand water reuse and recycling practices, and continue responsible landscaping across our global footprint. In the AI data centers we’re building today—including those in New Mexico, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Texas—we use closed-loop cooling that does not rely on continuous consumption of potable water. In a direct-to-chip, closed-loop, non-evaporative design, the cooling loop is initially filled, and then it operates as a sealed, recirculating system. There is no evaporation, blowdown, or continuous makeup water during operations and minimal top-offs during maintenance.
• Partnering with suppliers
  We’re committed to partnering closely with our data center suppliers to improve water data quality, reporting transparency, and operational efficiency. This includes working together to adopt water-saving technologies, set robust reporting standards, and embed water stewardship in every new and existing facility.
• Sustainable siting
  We have completed water and biodiversity screenings at our AI data center sites using science-based methodologies to assess risk and potential impacts and guide our decisions.
• Restoration and replenishments
  We will continue to deepen our collaboration with local water authorities and conservation partners on practical, measurable projects that restore waterways and habitats, replenish water losses, and enhance biodiversity, supporting resilient watersheds and providing lasting benefits for local communities. For example, we have partnered with Arable, an agricultural technology company, to fund conservation efforts that will help farmers use water more efficiently. This work will take place on the Rio Grande-Bravo watershed, the same watershed that serves our AI data center in New Mexico, and conserve 21 million gallons per year—more than the data center’s total potable and nonpotable water consumption.
• Land preservation and stewardship
  We consider land and habitat conservation opportunities as part of the development of our data center sites. For example, at our custom AI data center in Saline, Michigan, more than 750 of the site’s 1,000-plus acres will be preserved as farmland, wetlands, woodlands, and open space. At our 672-acre Port Washington, Wisconsin, site, 172 acres will be preserved or enhanced; this will include protecting wetlands and planting more than 2,000 native trees.
