At Snap, our commitment to environmental stewardship guides our operations, from the design of our workplaces to the products we create and the suppliers we partner with. Through our Climate Strategy, we strive to decarbonize our product offerings, supply chain, and business operations to address our impact on the environment. We focus on conserving natural resources, minimizing waste, and reducing the environmental footprint of our products throughout the lifecycle.

Our Climate Strategy

In the face of the pressing global climate crisis, we acknowledge our responsibility to take meaningful action through our platform and operations. We recognize that the climate crisis poses one of the greatest challenges of our time and that concerted efforts from governments, businesses, and individuals worldwide are urgently needed to mitigate the severe consequences of the climate crisis and forge a sustainable future for generations to come.

Snap’s Climate Commitments

We are proud to be one of the 400+ businesses that have joined The Climate Pledge, taking decisive action to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement a decade ahead of schedule. In our pursuit of meaningful climate action, Snap adopted a set of science-based emissions reduction targets in 2021 which were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

In 2023, we bolstered our commitment to environmental stewardship, advancing our climate strategy through the implementation of our transition plans, targeted reductions in GHG emissions across all operational scopes, and financial strategies to support these initiatives.

Our Products

In 2024, we advanced efforts to optimize product performance, reduce emissions, and ensure compliance with evolving global regulations, working closely with our internal teams and external partners to identify and act on key areas of opportunity. Our product and infrastructure teams continue to focus on minimizing energy use associated with Snapchat’s performance — without compromising the experience for our community. 

We also introduced the fifth generation of Specs, our see-through, standalone AR glasses that enable you to use Lenses and experience the world together with friends, in totally new ways. We are committed to ensuring our physical products meet strict environmental and health standards. In 2024, we reinforced our commitment to compliance and safety across the supply chain.
