We work to empower every person and organization on the planet to achieve more in this AI era—at the speed and scale our world needs.
AI impact
We govern our products, datacenter infrastructure, and AI assets using responsible practices, to help every person and organization develop and use AI in a way that serves the public good.
Fundamental rights
To protect people’s fundamental rights and mitigate potential harm as we extend the benefits of technology, we promote responsible business practices, expand accessibility and connectivity, help to protect democracy, and advance fair and inclusive societies.
Nonprofits and giving
We provide relevant, affordable, and innovative cloud and AI solutions to nonprofit organizations, offer training to nonprofit professionals, invest in projects for social good, and offer matching gifts when our employees contribute financially and through service.
Security and privacy
People need to trust the technologies they use and the companies behind those technologies. Microsoft is committed to protecting privacy, advancing digital safety, and cybersecurity.
Digital skills
Everyone needs the skills to thrive in a digital, AI-enabled economy. And every nonprofit, entrepreneur, organization, community, country, and region must be empowered to transform digitally and to address society’s biggest challenges.
Sustainability
Climate change is the defining issue of our generation. To meet our climate goals and enable others to do the same, we’re taking responsibility for our operational footprint and accelerating progress through technology.
"Now is the time for urgent action. Those of us that can do more, should do more. But the challenges we face are complex, and no one company, sector, or country can solve them alone."
— Brad Smith, Vice Chair and President, Microsoft
