Microsoft Sustainability Commitments
2030
Become carbon negative
Microsoft says it plans to become carbon negative by 2030. That means it wants to remove more carbon from the atmosphere than it emits across its operations and value chain, which includes suppliers and product use. The company says it will work on this by reducing emissions and increasing carbon removal.
2030
Reach zero waste
Microsoft says it aims to become zero waste by 2030. In simple terms, this means reducing waste at the source, keeping products and materials in use longer, and recovering what remains instead of sending it to landfill.
2030
Become water positive
Microsoft says it plans to become water positive by 2030. That means it wants to reduce water use, replenish more water than it withdraws, expand access to water and sanitation, and support better water stewardship.
2025
Protect more land than used
Microsoft says it will protect ecosystems by applying data and digital tools and by protecting more land than it uses by 2025. The company says it has already met this target and now says it has exceeded it.
