for the planet.
And for everyone.
Our approach
Three areas that we're focusing on.
From product design to manufacturing and across our supply chains, we are working to address our environmental and social impact at every step.
Our Products
'Designers are problem solvers. And sustainability is the biggest problem for our generation to solve.'
– Ivy Ross, Head of Design for all Google hardware products

Design choices
We're designing processes that eliminate waste and pollution. While providing better support to give our products a longer life so that they don't have to be replaced often.
Give materials a second life.
Of all plastic waste in the world – amounting to billions of metric tons – only a fraction is recycled. That's why we're partnering with our suppliers to develop safe, durable and high-quality recycled plastic while cutting down usage of non-recycled plastic.

Ingredients matter.
A large part of manufacturing waste ends up in landfill. To reduce our carbon footprint and impact, we're maximising the use of recycled and renewable materials across our operations, products and supply chains.

Reducing waste.
There is immense strain on our natural resources with an urgent need to balance consumption and consequences. So we're trying to reduce the waste generated at all levels – from manufacturing to retail.

Supplier communities
Partnering with the communities where we operate.
We're working to improve the lives of people across the supply chain.
Safer manufacturing. Healthier communities.
We're investing in infrastructure to generate more social and economic opportunities and promote global wellbeing.
Investing in communities and resources.
We are working to take better care of the communities in which we operate. From partnering with mining companies to investing in renewable energy, we want to help build comprehensive approaches to our impact commitment.
Invest in a cleaner future.
We believe that clean energy is key to accomplishing our goals. It's the cornerstone of our sustainability efforts, and we've been carbon neutral since 2007 in our operations here at Google.
