Illinois
Microsoft operates datacenters around Chicagoland and is planning to expand to other parts of Illinois.
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.
-
Contribute to a sustainable future
We will design and operate our datacenters to support Microsoft’s climate goals and become carbon negative, water positive, and zero waste before 2030.
-
Advance community prosperity and well-being
We will deliver significant local, economic, social, and environmental benefits.
-
Operate responsibly as a good neighbor
We will partner closely with communities and operate in a way that respects the local environment.
