Glad to see the US government announcing an ambitious, yet attainable goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50%+ below 2005 levels by 2030. At Google, we're committed to doing our part by working to achieve carbon-free operations by 2030.

The future of work at Google is flexibility. The majority of our employees still want to be on campus some of the time yet many would also enjoy the flexibility of working from home a couple days a week…
531
...spending time in another city for part of the year, or even moving there permanently. Google’s future workplace will have room for all of these possibilities. We’re moving to a hybrid work week with most Googlers in the office approximately 3 days a week.
532
We’ll offer more location choices around where to work -- in one our many campuses -- as well as the option to be fully remote based on role and team needs. And we’ll offer flexible benefits like the option to work from anywhere for up to 4 weeks a year.
533
I’m optimistic these changes will help us do our best work and have fun doing it, with about 60% of Googlers working together in the office a few days a week, 20% working in new office locations & 20% working from home. Here’s the note I sent to Googlers.

At #GoogleIO today we shared how advances in AI are making our products helpful in moments that matter, from safer routing in Maps, to breakthroughs in natural conversation, to technology that makes us feel like we’re in the same room even when we’re not.

That's a wrap on #GoogleIO2021! The virtual format was unlike any other IO before (and required some pretty large equipment!), but I'm glad we could share what we've been up to with millions of you all around the world. Thank you and hope we'll see you in person next year:)
