SUMMARY

Microsoft’s support for new fossil fuel development through artificial intelligence (AI) is in conflict with its disclosed climate strategy and creates significant risk to company value by exposing it to material reputational, legal, operational, and competitive risks.

Microsoft publicly identifies itself as a “first mover” on the transition to a clean energy future1 and highlights that it “advocate[s] for the expansion of clean energy solutions around the world.”2 Microsoft consistently heralds its efforts to “accelerate sustainability with AI.”3 It further states that “[g]iven the urgency of the planetary crisis, society needs to push harder on the AI accelerator while establishing guardrails that steer the world safely, securely, and equitably toward net-zero emissions, climate resilience, and a nature-positive future.”4
