Microsoft

Microsoft is a worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realise their full potential.

The corporation produces software in over 40 languages and has operations in more than 100 countries. Microsoft employs approximately 90,000 individuals worldwide.

Microsoft is committed to exploring how technology can help address environmental concerns around the world such as managing the impact of climate change and achieving greater sustainability. Through our own operations and by working with governments, international organisations, non-governmental organisations and industry partners, Microsoft hopes to demonstrate the real impact that technology can have in achieving shared environmental and sustainable development goals while expanding the benefits of technology.

UNEP and Microsoft have worked together in an official public-private partnership since 2009 with the aim of developing innovative solutions across areas of mutual concern. Together, we helped UNEP implement the first highly efficient green data center in Africa at the new UN headquarter building in Nairobi.
