Yahoo! Inc. is the world's largest global online network of integrated services, with more than 600 million users worldwide benefiting from its online applications, web search, developer networks, and online advertising. The company has embraced its role as a leading environmentally sustainable company by addressing its biggest energy consumer, its data centers.

In June 2009, Yahoo! announced that it was committed to a 40% reduction in the carbon intensity of its data centers by 2014. In this presentation, Christina Page will address how the company is taking a 360-degree approach to meeting this goal, including internal commitments to create change, cooperation with other institutions, and working collaboratively with industry leaders to drive innovation in sustainability.
