Citizenship at Microsoft

Our Citizenship mission is to serve globally the needs of communities and fulfill our responsibilities to the public.

Citizenship at Microsoft: Our mission of helping people realize their full potential influences the way we conduct business, evaluate success, and give back to the community.

Our FY12 Citizenship Reporting

Since the release of our first product in 1975, we’ve demonstrated the promise of computing to change the world. But as we’ve grown as a company, so have the world’s social and environmental challenges. We’re responding by applying our technology, ingenuity, and collaborative spirit to help solve these critical challenges and create fulfilling and exciting opportunities for people everywhere. We focus our commitment to corporate citizenship in two ways: serving communities around the world and working responsibly in our own business.
