Climate experts around the world are adamant that time is running out for industries and governments to take urgent action and reduce carbon emissions. Globally, businesses are beginning to heed the call and see <\/span>sustainability as a number one priority for their future success<\/span><\/a>. These are big steps to take and require the ability to measure the overall impact an organisation has on the environment, which can be challenging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Australia and New Zealand, according to a survey by Deloitte, more than 30% of businesses do not have a strategy for climate change and sustainability. Yet 70% of ANZ businesses intend to reduce their carbon emissions in the next three years, with 40% of businesses stating sustainability is top of mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Microsoft has an aim to become carbon negative by 2030 and by 2050 to have removed the carbon it has emitted since its foundation in 1975. At the same time, Microsoft is committed to supporting its customers to achieve their sustainability goals. Through its commitment to corporate sustainability and environmental responsibility, Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability can help your organisation thrive and contribute to global sustainability efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sustainable reductions<\/span><\/h3>\n

Businesses can set goals directly tied to data that allows them to track their progress and keeps the momentum towards improving their environmental impact, as well as identifying where they are not meeting compliance requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
