Offices

We design our global offices with sustainability in mind.

A greener way to work

We’re taking a closer look at our offices, from building emissions to what we put on the menu. At Meta, we’re actively improving work facilities for our employees worldwide by:

Improving the operational efficiency of our spaces
Reducing how much construction and operational waste we send to landfills
Encouraging employees to leverage Meta’s shuttle program and reduce single occupancy vehicles
Building with healthier and sustainable materials
Reducing food waste and offering more sustainable food options

Our goals for 2030

Each year we compare our actual emissions to our annual benchmarks to ensure that we are making progress toward our 2030 goals.

We are targeting a 50% reduction in office carbon emissions in 2030 (from a 2019 baseline), which we aim to achieve through the following reduction goals:

32% in office energy consumption

50% in waste generated by office operations

35% in employee commute emissions

40% in embodied carbon of building materials and furniture

54% in carbon intensity of culinary offerings

Dublin office operationalizes sustainability

Our Dublin office continues its focus on sustainability and biodiversity, making changes to cleaning, landscaping and waste management practices. Initiatives include:

Replacing chemical-based products with a system that uses ionized water, reducing reliance on harmful substances and single-use plastic

Compactors for general waste and dry mixed recycling to help reduce both waste volume and transport frequency

Collecting coffee grounds from office machines to be used as compost across campus plantings

Maintaining five active beehives and supporting local biodiversity through pollinator-friendly landscaping

LEED Gold and beyond

Our green building standards for our global office portfolio is part of our commitment to building a better reality. All Meta offices over 100,000 square feet are required to be LEED Gold or higher, and some offices also adhere to Fitwel, GreenStar, ISO 500001 and WELL standards.
