Leading the way on climate change
We are in the business of building better realities—and not just virtual ones.
We envision a just and equitable transition to a zero-carbon economy, and we are working with others to scale inclusive solutions that help create a healthier planet for all, ensuring that no one is left behind.
We will not realize this vision on our own. We see our role as protecting people and the planet through responsible operations—minimizing our energy, emissions and water impact, while protecting workers and the environment in our supply chain.
At the same time, we collaborate with community members, climate action leaders and scientists to innovate beyond what is possible today. We are leveraging our core products and services to enable access to climate science information and to accelerate action-oriented resources for tomorrow.
The possibilities our technology will unlock for people only matter if we have a safe and thriving planet.

Investing in Value Chain Emissions Reduction Projects
The scope of this RFI is specific to our efforts to invest in value chain emissions reduction projects. As such, we are initiating an RFI for value chain emissions reduction projects so that we can directly connect with entities that are positioned to originate, host, and/or support a value chain emissions reduction project or the increased offtake of low-carbon solutions or materials.
