Google is set to invest $9.5 billion in its US offices and data centres during 2022.
The BigTech is also set to create 12,000 new full-time jobs, in addition to ‘thousands more’ among its local suppliers, partners, and communities.
In addition, Google said it has invested more than $37 billion in 26 US states over the last five years, creating over 40,000 full-time jobs, in addition to investing more than $40 billion in research and development in the US in 2020 and 2021.
Google also reiterated its aim of running all offices and data centres on carbon-free energy by 2030.
The news comes as Google continue to offer perks to its employee to lure them back into the office.
Earlier this month it announced is set to offer some of its employee’s free electric scooters.
“It might seem counterintuitive to step up our investment in physical offices even as we embrace more flexibility in how we work,” said Sundar Pichai, chief executive office at Google and Alphabet. “Yet we believe it’s more important than ever to invest in our campuses and that doing so will make for better products, a greater quality of life for our employees, and stronger communities.”
