Google announced a significant achievement in its efforts to address its climate impact, reducing carbon emissions from its data centers by 12% in 2024, despite significantly higher energy usage, according to its new 2025 Environmental Report.
Despite the company’s success in addressing its data center emissions, however, the report also indicated that Google’s overall carbon footprint continued to grow in 2024, driven by a sharp increase in emissions from its supply chain, with Scope 3 emissions rising by more than 20% in the year.
Google’s environmental targets include 2030 goals to reach net zero emissions across its operations and value chain,
