Yahoo! has said it will no longer purchase carbon offsets for its operations, focusing its climate strategy on reducing the energy used by its data centres. The move reverses the company’s 2007 announcement that it would invest in carbon-offset projects in order to become carbon neutral.

“Reducing our carbon footprint has always been a priority and we’ve decided to focus all our energy and investment on that philosophy,” said David Filo, the company’s co-founder and Chief Yahoo. “We believe creating highly-efficient data centres will have a greater long-term, direct impact on the environment and gives us the best opportunity to play a leadership role in addressing climate change.”
