Facebook Singapore claims its operations are now 100% supported by renewable energy; presents a Digital Guide to help protect the planet

This Earth Day, Facebook is encouraging people across its platforms to take action and help protect the planet from climate change, as the crisis continues to affect communities around the world.

To make it easier for people to take action against climate change, the company is launching the Facebook Greenprint consumer guide, and a “Stand up for Earth” WhatsApp sticker pack featuring 20 images that highlight some of the environmental challenges that we’re facing across the globe, and encourage actions like recycling, reducing electricity and saving water.

The Facebook Greenprint is a digital guide that features 15 simple steps that people can take to protect the planet. These steps include joining a local Facebook Group or community to learn more about Singapore’s various environmental issues, attending a sustainable event in the area, donating to local wildlife organisations or shopping ethically on Instagram Shops, as there are now more than 2,000 eco-friendly businesses on Instagram in Singapore.

“At Facebook, we recognize the urgency of climate change and are committed to help tackle this crisis affecting communities around the globe. Facebook’s operations are now 100% supported by renewable energy, and we are one of the largest corporate buyers of renewable energy globally,” said Damian Kim, Managing Director of Facebook Singapore.

The WhatsApp “Stand up for Earth” sticker pack will be available to download and use globally, starting from 22 April, within WhatsApp.

There are also several bright and dark wallpapers already on WhatsApp that show the beauty of the planet. They can be found by going to Settings > Chats > Chat Wallpaper.

Facebook will continue striving towards their climate change goals and has committed to reaching net-zero emissions for the value chain in 2030.
