Microsoft operates a datacenter in West Des Moines, part of the Greater Des Moines area. Our community development work supports projects across Polk County.
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 design and operate our datacenters to support Microsoft’s climate goals and become carbon negative, water positive, and zero waste before 2030.
We will deliver significant local, economic, social, and environmental benefits.
We will partner closely with communities and operate in a way that respects the local environment.
