Twitter’s Climate Commitments
Tackling the climate crisis requires ongoing, meaningful action, and at Twitter, we’re stepping up our own commitments and doing this work out in the open.
Earlier this year, we committed to significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, in partnership with the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi). This ambitious reduction goal, in alignment with the Paris Climate Agreement, is a key component of our net-zero journey. We continue to collaborate with environmental leaders, the scientific community, and industry partners, such as through work with the global We Mean Business coalition and the United Nations’ Race to Zero campaign.
We know there’s more to do. We’ve escalated our efforts to achieve 100% carbon-neutral power sourcing in our current data centers by the end of 2022. We’ve partnered with Cool Effect, a nonprofit organization that helps offset emissions from our data centers and employee travel, to fund green projects around the world. So far, 95% of our global office spaces are “Green Building Certified” with more to come. And, we remain committed to supporting organizations leading the charge, including through Ads for Good grants.
