Corporate Social Responsibility at Meta

At Meta, our mission is to bring the world closer together and to give people the power to build community.

Climate change is one of the most urgent issues impacting our world today and we are committed to help tackle this global challenge. We’re doing our part by working to minimize our energy, emissions and water impact, while protecting workers and the environment in our supply chain.

In addition to reducing our environmental footprint, we are also leveraging our core products and services to accelerate access to climate science information and inspire climate action, while working with others to scale solutions that help create a healthier planet for all.

As of 2020, our entire global footprint of offices and data centers have been supported by 100% renewable energy and we reached net zero emissions. We did this in large part by investing in the development of new clean energy generation in the places where we use the most electricity. In addition, our commitment to renewable energy has provided hundreds of billions of gallons of water savings since wind and solar energy use less water than fossil fuels.

We’ve already been taking a similar approach with water, and have invested in water restoration projects that will replenish more than 850 million gallons of water per year. In regions experiencing high levels of water stress, these projects have already restored about 595 million gallons of water in 2020. These water restoration projects offer significant benefits both to local communities and their surrounding ecosystems, particularly in water stressed regions.
