Respecting human rights

We aim to conduct best-in-class human rights impact assessments on our salient human rights actions, and emerging trends in business and human rights.

We're deploying an integrated approach to human rights decision-making across key aspects of Microsoft.

We use actions and public statements to demonstrate that Microsoft is an important voice, and advocate for the promotion of human rights.

We're advancing transparency in our work and promoting human rights through increased disclosure and engagement.

We have committed to ensuring that our employees, partners, and suppliers respect and promote human rights, and that technology plays a positive role across the globe.

We create and deliver technology that is accessible and functional for people of all abilities.

We respect peoples' right to freedom of expression and their right to freedom from arbitrary and unlawful interference with privacy online.

We provide tools and resources to protect the online safety and security of vulnerable groups.

We're incorporating privacy considerations into design and development processes, offering customers meaningful privacy choices, and responsibly collecting, managing, and using the customer data that we store.

We provide transparency in our bi-annual Law Enforcement Requests Report, US National Security Orders Report, and Content Removal Requests Report.
