Our third decade of climate action: Realizing a carbon-free future

The science is clear: The world must act now if we’re going to avert the worst consequences of climate change. Therefore, Google operates the cleanest global cloud in the industry, and we’re the world’s largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy. In our third decade of climate action, we are going even further to help build a carbon-free future for everyone.

Transforming the consumer goods industry with SAP on Google Cloud

Leading CPG companies are leveraging the power of the cloud to create digital enterprises. In doing so, they can unlock value through reduced operational costs, faster innovation, improved marketing ROI, and greater transparency and sustainability—among other benefits. For businesses that run on SAP, accessing these benefits requires creating a digital enterprise with SAP at its heart.

Data centers are more energy efficient than ever

While Google is the world’s largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy, we’re also taking action on climate change by minimizing the amount of energy we need to use in the first place. For more than a decade, we’ve worked to make our data centers as energy efficient as possible.

24/7 by 2030: Realizing a Carbon-free Future

Electricity is the fuel that enables Google to serve our billions of users’ needs, around the world and around the clock. Yet in many places the energy we use is still produced in ways that result in carbon emissions. That’s why we’ve long strived to lead the way to a carbon-free future.
