We're sourcing clean energy for a better future.

In 2019, for the third year in a row, Google purchased enough renewable energy to match 100 percent of our annual global electricity consumption. We’re proud of achieving this milestone on the road to achieving an even more ambitious goal: sourcing enough carbon-free energy to match our consumption in every place where we operate, at every hour of the year.

Our large-scale procurement of wind and solar power is a cornerstone of our sustainability efforts and has made Google the world’s largest corporate buyer of renewable energy. To date, we’ve signed more than 50 long-term contract commitments to buy energy from wind and solar farms around the world, totaling more than 5 GW of new generation capacity since 2010.

CLIMATE CHANGE: Addressing the issue, together with Dell

Climate change is adversely affecting the planet. Successfully addressing the challenges this presents will require global cooperation with a sustained focus on both mitigation as well as adaptation. We believe technology has an important role to play on both these fronts and we support public policies that leverage this connection. It is in the best interests of business and society to address climate change – now. Changes in migration patterns, growing seasons, rising sea levels and the frequency and severity of extreme weather events are just a handful of the issues our planet is already facing. The pace and extent of these changes to our natural systems have far-reaching social, environmental and economic consequences. We believe the time to act is at hand. We need both mitigation and adaptations strategies, and this is not something any one company or government can tackle on its own. Technology has a critical role to play in addressing climate change. We will engage public and pr...

Protecting the planet and creating tomorrow together with Ford

“Ford is proud to be a part of this initiative, as it builds on the early achievement of our aggressive 30 percent per vehicle carbon reduction target,” says Andy Hobbs, Director of Ford’s Environmental Quality Office. “That early achievement reduced the company’s annual footprint by 3.4 million metric tons.” Striving for 100% renewable energy for all manufacturing plants globally by 2035, we have 88 sites with true zero waste to landfill status and 5.5% absolute reduction in global waste sent to landfill in 2018. As our manufacturing process improves, we have ~300 vehicle parts made using renewable resources such as soy, wheat, rice, castor, hibiscus, tree cellulose, jute and coconut, and a 14.5% absolute reduction in water use since 2010. We continue to think sustainably about how we produce our Cars!
