2024 Sustainability Report
Learn more about our progress as we work to achieve net zero emissions across our value chain and become water positive in 2030.

We are in the business of building better realities—and not just virtual ones.
We are working in partnership with others to scale inclusive solutions that support the transition to a zero-carbon economy and help create a healthier planet for all.
We see our role as protecting people and the planet through responsible operations — reducing our emissions and the energy and water used to power our data centers that enable users to access our products — while protecting workers and the environment in our supply chain.
We set expectations with respect to the environment, labor, and human rights in our operations and supply chain. This means ensuring that suppliers that produce and procure hardware adhere to standards that support safe, healthy and fair working conditions.
At the same time, we acknowledge we will not realize this vision on our own. We continue to collaborate with multi-stakeholder groups, community members, climate action leaders and scientists to innovate beyond what is possible today and work to achieve net zero emissions across our value chain and become water positive in 2030.
