We're committed to reducing our greenhouse gas footprint by 75% and reaching 100% renewable energy by 2020
Facebook’s mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together.
We believe sustainability is about more than operating responsibly. It’s an opportunity to support the communities we’re a part of and make a positive impact on the world. That’s why we’re working to minimize our energy, emissions and water impact, protect workers and the environment in our supply chain, and partner with others to develop and share solutions for a more sustainable world beyond our operations.
Facebook is committed to fighting climate change. By 2020, we’ve set an aggressive, science-based goal to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 75 percent and support our operations with 100 percent renewable energy. Our data centers are among the most water and energy-efficient facilities in the world. We also work with others to increase access to renewable energy and create green tariffs as part of our effort to make a positive impact on the world.
Innovation for our worldWe’re proud to collaborate on sustainability solutions that bring the world closer together. Our partnerships with companies, nonprofits, and coalitions are helping to drive hardware innovation, improve access to electricity, and catalyze climate action across the globe.
Collaboration for goodWe’re scaling our positive impact by tracking metrics that matter. Focusing on areas where we can have the biggest positive impact on both our own operations and on the communities around us is a priority for Facebook.
