Microsoft: Expanding beyond carbon neutral operations to accelerate global and local good

This white paper from Microsoft serves as a progress report on the tech giant's climate-related initiatives, including its internal carbon price program, as well as a glimpse into the future of its sustainability strategy more broadly.

The white paper follows the launch of  Microsoft's "A Cloud for Global Good" initiative and book, which details more than 70 public policy recommendations in 15 categories the company says will help make cloud technologies more trustworthy, responsible and inclusive. Since implementing an internal carbon price in 2012, Microsoft has reduced its CO2-equivalent emissions by more than nine million metric tons, and invested in more 14 million MWh of clean power.
