🧭 Strategy
Meta focuses its sustainability, climate impact and resource strategy on climateresilience, energy & GHG emissions, water management, operational wasteand circular economy & product stewardship
Strategic Pillars | Description |
Climate resilience | Adapt and address challenges and risks caused by climate change and any relevant disruptions to supply, operations, and users. |
Energy & GHG Emissions | Ensure efficient use of energy and transition to renewable energy sources in order to reduce GHG emissions across Meta (data centers, facilities, employee travel). |
Water management | Minimize or optimize overall water consumption and quality impacts across operations, including within headquarters and data centers. |
Operational Waste | Minimizing or eliminating the waste produced across construction and operations, including within headquarters, offices, and data centers. |
Circular Economy & product stewardship | Manage environmental and GHG impacts of manufactured products (including data centers) across their life cycles, including hazardous materials and e-waste. |
🎯Goals & Actions
2030 - Carbon Neutrality across whole value chain
- Maintain 100% renewable energy
- Invest in durable and additional carbon removal projects
- Partner with suppliers to build capacity on data reporting and to support on-site energy assessments that identify energy reduction opportunities and improve environmental performance.
- Cover 100 percent of the work-from-home electricity use of our employees with renewable energy
2030 - Become water positive
- Introduce technologies to increase water efficiency at facilities. (e.g., operating data centers in lower humidity level)
- Support water projects that restore local watersheds near our data center communities.
- dPartner with local, trusted environmental nonprofits that share vision to identify and support water restoration projects that benefit neighboring communities
