We're meta. We build technology that helps people connect, find communities and grow businesses. We're taking action to have a positive impact on the communities and environment where we operate. We are protecting workers and the environment in our supply chain and reducing our emissions. Focusing on our social and environmental responsibility within our manufacturing supply chain enables us to advance responsible business practices by driving safe, healthy and fair working conditions, along with supporting worker well-being, maximizing resource efficiency, and proactively identifying and mitigating risks. As a result, we are striving towards a sustainable supply chain that benefits both people and environment, and our commitment is reflected in our own operations. We also recognize the need to take action in the global effort to address climate change. Since 2020, we have maintained net 0 emissions in our operations and match 100% of our electricity use with renewable energy. We are one of the world's largest corporate buyers of renewable energy. But there's more. We have set a goal to decarbonize our business and reach net 0 emissions across our value chain in 20-30. This target is aligned with the Paris Climate Agreement, which aims to limit global temperature increase to 1.5��C. How One prioritizing efficiency and circularity in our business decisions and embracing low carbon tech to operate with a lower emissions footprint. Two, engaging at least 2/3 of our suppliers to set science based targets by 2026 to help reduce emissions. 3 Addressing any residual emissions through nature based and technological carbon removal. And there's even more. We also commit to being water positive in 20-30. For us, we use water in our offices and to help keep our data center school around the globe. Our goal to be water positive is part of our overall water stewardship program, which entails using water efficiently in our operations. Returning more than we consume. Being transparent in water use. But how do we return water? Through water conservation and restoration projects that address local needs, these projects boost water supply and reliability, enhance water quality, restore local habitats that promote biodiversity and recreation, and provide safe drinking water. With more than 25 water restoration projects, as we continue to make progress on local initiatives like this, we recognize that our impact can be even greater when we collaborate with others on a larger scale. To drive meaningful change, we partner with others to develop, share and scale inclusive solutions that support the transition to A0 carbon economy and help create a healthier planet for all. And that's our vision. A better meta in a better reality. We've got a lot ahead of us, but we are committed to making this vision a reality. Want to join us on our journey?
