Microsoft
Microsoft has been working to become more sustainable for more than a decade. We started our journey by focusing on optimizing our own operations for both carbon and costs. We are making progress towards our own bold commitments to become a carbon negative, water positive, zero waste company that protects more land than we use by 2030. We’re translating our experiences—both successes and setbacks—into helping our customers and partners with existing and new products, and we’re advocating for policy change to help us all move faster.
