  Fighting climate change

  Google shares its commitment to socially responsible goals. Google Cloud can demonstrate this commitment through a broad set of sustainability principles and activities. These principles focus on a people-centric framework that is robust, integrated, diverse, and designed with unique locations, scalability, and longevity in mind. Sustainability principles are embedded across Google’s operations, infrastructure, people, and products. Google’s five key sustainability commitments include:; Data centres: Design and operate industry-leading carbon-neutral data centres; Renewable energy: Google is the largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy, our operations utilise 100% carbon-free energy; Technology and tools: Design efficient and renewable consumer electronics and empower users with sustainable technologies; Supply chain: Build better and more sustainable devices and services by engaging the entire supply chain; Sustainable workplaces: Create end-to-end sustainable workplaces through ethical labour practices and the careful selection and use of materials to operate facilities; Google’s socially responsible activities are broad and deep, extending across the end-to-end supply chain and empowering national economies. Google Cloud is committed to remaining the leader in socially responsible cloud provision. We are pleased to enumerate our ongoing initiatives and track record, and to profile our lasting commitment to a better planet.; We track and report on our progress through our published annual Environmental Report.

  Equal opportunity

  Google has a responsibility to scale our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives to increase the pathways to tech in the communities we call home. Google has been publishing annual diversity reports since 2018. We are also building a robust, diverse talent pool to support our industry’s growth. To support this, we build DEI capabilities among all Googlers, from managers and leaders to front-line human resources. Through our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), Leadership Councils, and Diversity Councils, we foster a sense of belonging throughout the company. More details can be found in Google’s latest DEI report.; Our ongoing efforts to ensure pay equity are just one part of our wider efforts to improve diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) at Google, and ensure that our company remains a rewarding place to work for all our colleagues. Below are the 2 Google UK: Binary Gender Pay Gap reports published on an annual basis, 2021 ; 2022.; Social responsibility is fundamentally critical to Google’s operating philosophy, employee engagement, and the business as a whole. Accordingly, Google’s annual diversity report drives our internal discussions on diversity and inclusion and has resulted in an inflection point for Google that has changed how we approach these topics in our business practices. ; We track and report on our progress in our Google Annual Diversity Report
