Approach to responsible business

We believe that technology, at its best, helps unlock potential for good. From our investments in sustainable infrastructure, to ushering in the next era of social technology as we evolve our products and programs, to the advertising solutions that connect businesses with customers around the world — everything Meta does is inspired by the importance of human connection.

Our strategic pillars guide our approach:

Operate transparently and sustainably

Build responsibly

Empower people and partners

Unlock potential for good

Spotlight Topics

We are committed to operating transparently and communicating about our efforts regularly.

Sustainability

Since 2020, Meta has maintained net zero emissions in our operations¹ and matched 100% of our electricity use with clean and renewable energy. Additionally, Meta-supported wind and solar projects are adding more than 15 gigawatts of clean and renewable energy to grids globally.

Reliable and secure AI

We updated open source tools that enable developers to customize the model for their needs — including Llama Guard 2 and CyberSecEval — and introduced Code Shield, which developers can use to reduce the chance of generating potentially insecure code.

Digital well-being and safety

Teen Accounts have built-in protections which limit who can contact them, the content they see, and provide daily time limit reminders. We automatically place teens into Teen Accounts, and teens under 16 will need a parent’s permission to change any of these settings to be less strict.

Human rights

As part of 2024 election preparations, we worked to manage AI risks, enforce our policies on voter interference, disrupt adversarial networks, provide transparency on political advertising and connect voters to reliable information.
