Climate Action -­‐ Facebook In 2011, Facebook moved its staff from Palo Alto to its new nine-­‐building campus in Menlo Park, bringing with it the company’s goals of creating an open and connected world, while conducting business in a healthy, sustainable work environment and providing a world-­‐class alternative commute program. There are no private offices or cubicles. We tore down those unnecessary walls, creating a much more productive, energy-­‐efficient environment per employee (155 sf/person vs Sun’s 250-­‐300 sf/person). Between 2011 and 2012, the interiors of the eight main buildings (approx. 1M sq ft) were completely renovated to achieve LEED Gold Commercial Interiors, the largest LEED Gold project in Menlo Park to date. In 2012 we won multiple transportation awards, including Gold Status as a bicycle-­‐
friendly business from the American League of Cyclists. In Q4 2012, we instituted on-­‐site waste separation that increased our recycling and compost rate to 80%. In keeping with LEED Gold guidelines, we’ve achieved the following reductions on the now-­‐completed campus. The environmental benefits to the community are numerous. Compared to how the campus was used by the prior tenants, Facebook has achieved significant reductions in water use, energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste. The following statistics highlight our achievements. 50+% reduction indoor water use • Low-­‐flow fixtures/aerators • Efficient cafeteria dishwashing • Low-­‐volume toilets 60% reduction outdoor water use • Adoption of Bay-­‐Friendly Landscaping; lawn removal; efficient, weather-­‐based irrigation 15-­‐20% energy reduction CO2 reductions per person •

Listing of measured carcinogens and reproductive toxins as identified by California Proposition 65, the U.S. National Toxicology
Program (NTP), and the International Agency on Research on Cancer (IARC) must be provided.
Any pollutant regulated as a primary or secondary outdoor air pollutant must meet a concentration that will not generate an air
concentration greater than that promulgated by the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (U.S. EPA, code of Federal Regulations,
Title 40, Part 50).
See referenced standard for a complete technical explanation.
¹ Defined to be the total response of measured VOCs falling within the C6–C16 range, with responses calibrated to a toluene surrogate.
² Defined to be the total response of a target list of aldehydes (2-butenal; acetaldehyde; benzaldehyde; 2, 5-dimethylbenzaldehyde,
2-methylbenzaldehyde; 3-and/or 4-methylbenzaldehyde; butanal; 3-methylbutanal; formaldehyde; hexanal; pentanal; propanal), with each
individually calibrated to a compound specific standard.
³ Any pollutant not listed must produce an air concentration level no greater than 1/10 the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) industrial work place standard
(Reference: American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists, 6500 Glenway, Building D-7, Cincinnati, Ohio 45211-4438).
Complies with ANSI/BIFMA X7.1-2007, ANSI/BIFMA M7.1-2007, and BIFMA e3-2008 Credit 7.6.1 for Furniture.
GREENGUARD Certification affirms that products meet the criteria of the referenced standard and the
requirements of the specific certification program. Certification testing is conducted according to a consistent,
defined protocol. The testing does not evaluate emissions under usage conditions other than those defined in
the protocol and does not address potential environmental impact other than chemical and particle emissions.
The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) is an industry independent, third-party certification
organization that qualifies products for low chemical emissions. GREENGUARD Certification programs use
defined product standards, test methodologies, product sample collection and handling procedures, program
application processes and on-going verification procedures. GREENGUARD standards, methods, and procedures
are available at www.GREENGUARD.org.
