Microsoft in your community
In our rapidly changing world, Microsoft’s mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet has never been more relevant and urgent. As we pursue this mission, we recognize our enormous responsibility to ensure the technology we create benefits every person in every community.
Our datacenter community pledge
We believe that companies that can do more, should. That’s why we remain focused on key areas in which technology can and must benefit the future of humanity and our planet.
Aligned with Microsoft’s global commitments, our datacenter community pledge is to build and operate digital infrastructure that addresses community challenges and creates local benefits where we operate and where our employees live and work.
We will contribute to a sustainable future, advance community prosperity and well-being, and operate responsibly as a good neighbor.
