Google Ends Carbon Neutral Claim, Aims for Net-Zero by 2030

Jul 8, 2024, 12:58 PM

Google has ceased its mass purchase of cheap carbon offsets and no longer claims to be carbon neutral, as detailed in its latest environmental report. The tech giant has seen its planet-warming emissions rise due to artificial intelligence. Consequently, Google now aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030. This shift has significant implications for how companies make climate claims, buy carbon credits, and contribute to the climate fight.
