To achieve this goal, we invested in high-quality renewable energy projects around the world that contribute to the decarbonization of the global electric grid. Our approach also helps to reduce our carbon pricing risk. Science-Based Target ● We are committed to a 1.5˚C future and have set our own Science-Based Target approved by the Science-Based Targets Initiative. We focus on reducing emissions wherever possible, increasing renewable energy procurement and working with our suppliers to set their own Science-Based Targets. These initiatives seek to reduce our own emissions in line with a 1.5˚C target, as well as our Scope 3 emissions, mitigating policy risks and contributing to the shared goal of global climate action. Sustainable and efficient operations ● Real Estate: We consider sustainability as part of our major real estate expansions and reductions. Our operations strategy prioritizes green building certifications as part of our real estate process and pursues innovative pilot solutions such as battery storage to operate high-performance, sustainable buildings. Resource efficiency has guided and continues to guide our electricity procurement decisions. We continue to improve our global design standards to reduce waste, optimize for LEED® (and other leading green building standards) and lower our energy and water consumption. We infuse sustainability into the very beginning of our real estate process by incorporating sustainability criteria as part of initial site search, prioritizing green-certified buildings and negotiating green lease terms for new and existing buildings. ● Infrastructure: Our multi-tenant cloud computing model, including Project Hyperforce, has a much smaller environmental footprint than traditional IT hardware and software. By sharing computing resources among a large number of customers, we achieve enormous economies of scale, especially when it comes to carbon and energy consumption. We deliver our customers a completely carbon neutral cloud by offsetting the emissions we cannot reduce through other operational sustainability initiatives via high quality carbon offset programs. Decreasing the Carbon Intensity of our Electricity Supply and Increasing Access to Renewable Energy ● All of our service offerings run on electricity, which comes predominantly from non-renewable fuels across the globe. Therefore, we strive to improve access to renewable energy for ourselves and others who are looking to purchase renewable energy. We are active participants in the Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance and advocate for policies that work toward a future where clean and renewable energy is powering the world around the clock. Failing to take climate action, or being perceived to be failing to take climate action, may hurt our Reputational reputation with our stakeholders who expect us to take appropriate measures to minimize the risk impact of our operations on the environment. Our brand is essential to the maintenance and growth of our business. Loss of reputable brand recognition could cause our customers to switch (short term) to competitors or hurt our efforts in talent recruitment and retention.
