Environmental stewardship

We’re reducing our environmental impact where it matters the most. We have one planet and must do all we can to protect it.

Impact where it matters most

As the importance of addressing greenhouse gas emissions grows, we’re increasingly reporting emissions and our efforts to reduce them, including developing how we monitor and report our greenhouse gas emissions.

We’re setting public, time‑bound greenhouse gas reduction goals and are committed to reaching Net Zero emissions by 2050 by purchasing renewable energy, reducing absolute greenhouse gas in our operations and more.

With offices around the world, including water‑stressed regions, we source water consciously and implement effective solutions to reduce water consumption.
