At Google we have a unique opportunity to empower individuals, organizations and governments with the data and tools they need to drive positive action for our planet.

That means using our products and platforms to help people make more sustainable choices, and working together with our partners to help reduce their emissions and advance transformative technology for a carbon-free future. It also means using our deep legacy in research and the breakthroughs we’re making in AI to accelerate innovation that can tackle climate change.

We know that we also have a responsibility to address our own carbon footprint.

As we enter our third decade of climate action, we’re setting ambitious goals for ourselves. We’re pursuing net-zero emissions across our operations and value chain by 2030, supported by an ambitious clean energy goal to operate our data centers and office campuses on 24/7 carbon-free energy.

We expect this new era in technology to open up new, even bigger opportunities to accelerate system-level change. It’s a big part of the reason we’re optimistic about what’s possible in the years ahead.
