2025 Sustainability Report

Connecting to a Better Reality

As we continue to build the future of human connection and the technology that makes it possible, we strive to do so in a way that supports a more sustainable world. Our strategy is centered around climate, water, responsible sourcing and biodiversity.

Responsible supply chain

Meta is part of a complex value chain that impacts lives and communities around the globe and we strive to empower workers and protect the environment through open communication, initiatives that support safe working conditions and a deep understanding of core sustainability issues.

Water

Water is a vital resource for life on earth, and we strive to connect its management to technical expertise and responsibility that help ensure healthy aquatic ecosystems.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity supports ecosystem stability, ensuring that living things are able to thrive on our planet. We strive to support the biodiversity of the native ecosystems at our data center properties through actions that play a positive role and invest in the long term vitality of local communities.

Goals

Our core sustainability strategy is informed by our goals to achieve net zero emissions across our value chain and become water positive in 2030. Aligned with our vision for a transition to a zero-carbon economy and healthier planet for all, we have
identified supporting goals:

Reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% in 2031 from a 2021 baseline.

Enable at least two-thirds of our suppliers to set science-aligned emissions reduction targets by 2026.

Not exceed our 2021 baseline Scope 3 emissions by the end of 2031.

Restore 200% of the water we consume in high water stress regions and 100% of the water we consume in medium water stress regions.

Continue to match 100% of our electricity use with clean and renewable energy to support our operations.

Set human rights and environmental expectations with supply chain partners and engage with them to build capabilities to meet our standards.
