Design For Recovery
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
By 2030 Microsoft will be carbon negative, and by 2050 Microsoft will remove from the environment all the carbon the company has emitted either directly or by electrical consumption since it was founded in 1975.
Manufacturing / Operational Waste
By 2030, we will divert at least 90 percent of the solid waste headed to landfills and incineration from our campuses and datacenters.
Water Consumption
By 2030 we will be water positive, meaning we will replenish more water than we use.
Renewable / Alternative Energy
We’re therefore setting our next milestone on the path to 100 percent renewable energy, aiming to surpass the 70 percent target by 2023.
