Sustainability

Reduce your carbon footprint and achieve your sustainability goals.

Sustainability in the Cloud

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is focused on efficiency and continuous innovation across our global infrastructure, as we continue on our path to powering our operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025 - five years ahead of our original 2030 commitment.

Sustainable business practices in industrial operations are more important than ever.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the industrial sector accounts for 36% of total U.S. energy consumption, with manufacturing accounting for the largest share. According to IDC FutureScape: Worldwide Future of Operations 2022 Predictions, by 2024, the use of data and analytics will have enabled a 3% reduction in global CO2 emissions by the industrial and commercial sectors (a net reduction of over 400 million metric tons of CO2).

Benefits

Sustainability in the Cloud

The results of a study by 451 Research show that AWS’s infrastructure is 3.6 times more energy efficient than the median of U.S. enterprise data centers surveyed.

Manage sustainability data
AWS enables companies to build sustainability solutions ranging from carbon tracking to energy conservation to waste reduction, using AWS services to ingest, analyze, and manage sustainability data.
Lower cost and reduce waste
