Our Goals

Microsoft's corporate citizenship activities are guided by our company's mission and values, which support our aspirational goals. While our primary accountability is to our customers and shareholders, our work supports our corporate mission to enable people and businesses to realize their full potential. Our goals are to:

• Strengthen Economies: We leverage our core assets — our innovative technologies, people, and partnerships, as well as the strength of our business — to create economic opportunity and jobs.
• Address Societal Challenges: We create social opportunity, using innovation and partnerships to take on issues like healthcare, education and the environment.
• Promote a Healthy Online Ecosystem: We work to support an internet that is safe, secure and user-friendly.
• Manage a Sustainable Business: Microsoft’s goal is to demonstrate responsible leadership and conduct our business sustainably.
