Microsoft is increasing its environmental commitment, the company's chief environmental strategist said this week at the GreenNet conference in San Francisco.
"Recently our CEO, Steve Ballmer, sent out an e-mail to all 90,000 Microsoft employees. He made clear that environmental sustainability is a core value for the company that is embedded in all we do," Robert Bernard said in an interview with CNET News. He added that Ballmer talked about the topic as a corporate belief, "as opposed to a green campaign or a marketing campaign or a marketing issue."
