Microsoft’s mission to ‘empower every person and organisation on the planet to achieve more’ is not just a set of words. It’s our North Star for everything we do, every product choice we make and the decisions we make as a company and as individuals. When we talk about empowering people, we simply mean that with the right tools, anyone can become, and achieve, anything. When we say ‘on the planet’ we’re acknowledging that our mission is not bound by location. At Microsoft we aim to empower every person and every organisation ON THE PLANET. We seek to bridge the gap between opportunity and untapped potential – through the power and the platform it offers everyone.
