79、 to design and launch the Building a Respectful Workplace training program.This program builds suppliers and workers understanding of harassment and discrimination in the workplace,including gender-based vulnerabilities,and supports their capacity to identify and address these issues.Building a Resp

294、the world closer together.As a global company,we recognize the tech industrys environmental impact and role to play in addressing climate change.We embrace the responsibility to understand the full scope of our footprint and be transparent and accountable in our mission to reduce our emissions.Ident
295、ifying the source of our emissions on an annual basis enables us to prioritize emissions reduction where we can make the most meaningful progress on our path to net zero emissions across our value chain in 2030.Similarly,minimizing our water use,being transparent with our water data,and restoring wa
296、ter in the same watersheds where our data centers are located are vital to reach our commitment to restore more water than we use by 2030.Metas GHG emissions Metas GHG footprint includes the emissions associated with running our business and data centers,as well as the indirect emissions upstream an
297、d downstream of our operations.These emissions correspond to Scope 1,Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions as defined by the World Resources Institute(WRI)Greenhouse Gas Protocol.Meta uses the operational control approach when calculating our GHG footprint,in which we account for 100%of the GHG emissions ov
298、er which we have operational control.OPERATIONAL EMISSIONS Scope 1 and 2 emissions are considered our operational emissions.Scope 1 emissions come from our direct operations,such as combustion of natural gas to heat our offices and the fuel burned in our employee shuttles.Scope 2 includes indirect e
299、missions from purchased energy,such as the electricity powering our data centers.We consider purchased electricity for construction and overhead electricity within leased data centers outside of our operational control and therefore report these in Scope 3.SCOPE 1 EMISSIONSDirect emissions from our
300、data centers,offices and transportation fleet Stationary combustion(e.g.,natural gas consumed at our Menlo Park campus for heating)Mobile combustion(e.g.,diesel emissions from our intercampus shuttles)Fugitive emissions(e.g.,refrigerant losses)SCOPE 2 EMISSIONSIndirect emissions from purchased energ

302、produced net zero emissions since then.FULL VALUE CHAIN EMISSIONS Scope 3 emissions come from sources within our full value chain beyond our operations and comprise the largest component of our footprint.Scope 3 includes:1.Upstream emissions,such as the emissions from manufacturing our data center s
303、ervers or emissions from employee commutes;and2.Downstream emissions,such as the emissions associated with people using our Portal or Quest devices.AboutLeadershipHow We OperateWhat We CreateHow We CollaborateLooking AheadData IndexVision2023 Meta Sustainability Report56Environmental methodologySCOP

307、issions in accordance with the GHG Protocol.Furthermore,Metas GHG emissions data and methodologies undergo third party verification each year.This is completed annually to ensure that only the most accurate and up-to-date data is publicly reported.We quantify our GHG emissions via activity data,LCAs
308、 and financial data.We prioritize calculating our emissions through activity data that directly measures an activity that results in GHG emissions,such as kilowatt hours(kWh)of electricity.Due to the complex nature of our business and value chain,we use other methods to help calculate our emissions
309、when activity data is not available.We measure our emissions by metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent,or CO2e,units.CO2e is used to standardize the emissions from different GHGs based on their global warming potentials.ACTIVITY DATA For activity data,we take the quantity of a specific measured ac
310、tivity and multiply it by an associated emissions factor to calculate the total emissions from that activity.For example,the kWh of electricity consumed at a Meta site is multiplied by the appropriate country-specific or regional-specific,publicly available emissions factor to calculate the total em
311、issions from that sites electricity use.We use activity data to calculate:Scope 1 and 2 emissions Fuel and energy-related activities Waste generated in operations Upstream transportation and distribution where supplier specific data is available Business travel(including radiative forcing)Employee c

313、s,existing activity data is used as a proxy to estimate these emissions.This ensures we are reporting a complete GHG inventory across all of our operations.For example,the weight of waste at several Meta sites is used as a proxy to estimate waste at other sites in the same region that do not have fi
314、nal waste weight data.LCAs To understand cradle-to-gate emissions and/or upstream emissions that are released before certain assets are used(e.g.,the emissions released from the production of concrete before it is poured),we conduct third-party LCA studies or utilize LCA tools to measure our impact.
315、This is applicable in our 2022 inventory for the following emissions:Upstream emissions associated with the materials used in the construction of our data centers Upstream emissions of materials in office renovations and new construction Cradle-to-gate emissions of our augmented and virtual reality
316、related consumer hardware,such as Portal and Quest devices Cradle-to-gate emissions in key data center hardware components,such as hard drives End-of-life treatment of our AR/VR-related consumer hardwareFINANCIAL Our Environmentally Extended Input Output(EEIO)method utilizes financial spend data and
317、 applies industry-specific emission factors(e.g.,kg CO2e per dollar spent on electronic manufacturing)published by the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)to calculate“cradle-to-gate”emissions.We apply the EEIO method to the following:Purchased goods and services Capital goods not related to dat

319、with 100%renewable energy.We procure and retire one Energy Attribute Certificate(EAC)for every MWh of electricity used to power our global operations.Meta also procures and retires one EAC for every MWh of electricity use in select Scope 3 categories.A Additionally,Meta procures Sustainable Aviation
320、 Fuel(SAF)and applies the associated emissions reductions from SAF allocated in the reporting year as a market-based instrument to Category 6:Business Travel.A core focus of Metas renewable energy program is adding new renewable energy projects to the electricity grids that support our data centers
321、to drive the transition to renewable energy in our communities.In alignment with these principles,Meta adheres to the following EAC market boundaries:1.Owned data centersB:EACs from the same grid regionC2.Leased data centersD:EACs from the same grid region or same geographic regionE3.Other Scope 2 l
