With increasing regulation and growing customer demand for positive change, organizations across multiple industries are embracing the challenge and Microsoft is here to help. Sustainability has been at the core of our business for more than a decade. As we operationalize Microsoft\u2019s sustainability plan,<sup>1<\/sup> we are sharing our expertise and developing tools and methods that customers can replicate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability is our first horizontal industry cloud designed to work across multiple industries. Our solutions can be customized to specific industry needs, whether a customer is in retail, energy, manufacturing, or another industry. At its core is a data model that aligns with Greenhouse Gas Protocols\u2014the standard in identifying and recording emissions information. Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability also reflects the deep relationships we have with partners that enable us to offer <em>better together<\/em> solutions to solve critical customer needs and customer problems.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2alGZWbeaNI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Watch the demo video<\/a> of Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability in action.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This release of Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability delivers Microsoft and partner solutions across four investment areas to empower organizations in their sustainability efforts:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Unify data intelligence.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Build a sustainable IT infrastructure.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Reduce environmental impact of operations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Create sustainable value chains.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"unify-your-data-intelligence\">Unify your data intelligence&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customers face many challenges in acquiring and identifying data, unifying it, and creating a single and actionable view of their sustainability data.&nbsp;Our <a href=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/sustainability?rtc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Sustainability Manager<\/a> built on top of our data model enables organizations to easily input, extract, and understand data.

Moving from on-premises to Microsoft Azure can reduce carbon and energy emissions. The <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/migration\/migration-modernization-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Azure Migration and Modernization Program<\/a>\u2014which utilizes system integrator partners to drive cloud workload migration for customers\u2014has been a key investment that ultimately enables these sustainability benefits.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help organizations measure the sustainability impact of migrating to the cloud, in October 2021 we shipped the <a href=\"https:\/\/appsource.microsoft.com\/product\/power-bi\/coi-sustainability.emissions_impact_dashboard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Emissions Impact Dashboard<\/a> (EID).&nbsp;The Emissions Impact Dashboard provides customers with independently verified emissions data associated with using Azure; inclusive of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wj0UrF2T130\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scopes one, two, and three<\/a>.
