Today we’re releasing
@Microsoft's 2026 Environmental Sustainability Report. As #
AI# expands, so does our responsibility to build infrastructure that supports both economic growth and the communities where we operate.
This year we improved the water-use efficiency of our datacenters by nearly 90% compared to our earliest designs, and replenished more water globally than we withdrew.
Progress like this comes from long-term investment, innovation, and partnership. The challenge ahead isn’t choosing between AI and #
sustainability#. It’s making sure we advance both together.
