Protecting our planet
We’re working to protect our planet and strengthen our business through meaningful climate action: by measuring and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, investing in renewable energy and partnering with organizations that share our goals.
Progress toward our emissions reduction targets
Pinterest set emissions reduction targets to reduce emissions across our value chain, improve business resiliency, deliver efficiencies for our business and drive sustainable growth in line with the Paris Agreement’s aim of global decarbonization by 2050. These targets were independently validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2023.1
↑ 100%
renewable electricity sourcing in 2024 (Target: 100% renewable electricity by 2023 and through 2030)
↓ 74%
reduction in scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions since 2019 (Target: 39% reduction by 2027)
↓ 81%
reduction in scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions per USD gross profit in 2024 compared to 2019 baseline (Target: 70% reduction by 2027)
Reducing environmental impact
We’re always looking for ways to make our global offices more energy efficient. Since 2022, we’ve maintained 100% renewable electricity across our global offices through utility green power programs and procuring EACs (also known as renewable energy credits).
Our global workplace Food team seeks to reduce the carbon footprint of our in-office food program with a few key initiatives: food waste reduction, local spend and plant-forward menus.
“When it comes to protecting the planet, we believe everyone has a role to play. At Pinterest we’re committed to inspiring action—on our platform, through our operations and within our communities—starting with reducing our own emissions.”
