ADVANCING CARBON-FREE ENERGY Target Deadline 2021 progress Status Energy Match 100% of the electricity consumption of our operations with renewable energy purchases. 2021 (Annual) In 2021, we purchased enough renewable energy, from sources such as wind and solar, to match 100% of the electricity consumption of our data centers and offices. We were the first company of our size to reach this milestone back in 2017, and we’ve achieved it for five consecutive years. 14 Operate on carbon-free energy 24/7 by 2030. 2030 In 2021, on an hourly basis, 66% of our data center electricity use was matched with regional carbon-free sources. 15 Enable 5 GW of new carbon-free energy through investments in our key manufacturing regions by 2030. 2030 We’re working toward this target. GHG emissions Achieve net-zero emissions across all of our operations and value chain, including our consumer hardware products, by 2030. 2030 We’re working toward this target. We aim to reduce the majority of our emissions (versus our 2019 baseline) before 2030 and plan to invest in nature-based and technology-based carbon removal solutions to neutralize our remaining emissions. Maintain carbon neutrality for our operations. 2021 (Annual) In 2021, we purchased enough renewable energy and high- quality carbon credits to compensate for all our operational GHG emissions. Google has been carbon neutral for our operations since 2007—for 15 consecutive years. 16 CREATING SUSTAINABLE WORKPLACES Target Deadline 2021 progress Status Commuting Reduce single-occupancy vehicle commuting at our Bay Area headquarters 17 to 45% of workers commuting on any given day. Not applicable We’re working toward this target. Provide EV charging stations for 10% of total parking spaces at our Bay Area headquarters. Not applicable Of the total parking spaces at our Bay Area headquarters, more than 7% were designated EV parking spaces with charging stations in 2021. Certifications Pursue the ILFI Living Building Challenge Certification for our Charleston East and Bay View campuses—two of Google’s first ground-up development projects at our Bay Area headquarters. 2023 At our Charleston East campus, we’re working to achieve the Living Building Challenge Materials Petal (which includes Red List Free materials and net-zero waste), and at our Bay View campus, we’re working to achieve the Living Building Challenge Water Petal (which includes net-positive water use). Food waste Reduce food waste per Googler by 50% by 2025. 2025 This target was set in 2022. Send zero food waste to the landfill by 2025. 2025 This target was set in 2022.
