Empowering customers to drive sustainable solutions for a better future
Innovation as the driving force for sustainability
Sustainability is a societal initiative that aims for humans to co-exist on the planet over the long term. It touches everyone today: Earth’s billions of people, local and world governments, regulatory bodies, and notably, companies and their customers, employees, and investors, where the challenges of doing business as usual loom larger than ever.
AWS customers use our services in a wide range of ways to collect, analyze, and manage sustainability data to build transparency and accelerate progress. In this eBook, we’ll explore stories of how several of our leading customers are accomplishing big things along their own paths to sustainability in cloud migration, sustainable IT, carbon emissions tracking, and building efficiency.
“An environmentally friendly and efficient IT solution is not only good for the planet, but also saves cost and is good for business. We want to ensure that we, as a company, only use what we need.”
Jan Andries Oldenkamp, CIO, Scania

The power of prediction: How modeling the future can help increase sustainability
Using predictive modeling, organizations are forecasting the future to help governments, businesses, and communities find opportunities to prevent environmental damage as well as economic and human loss.A United Nations report, released in September 2022, revealed that greenhouse gas concentrations are rising to record highs, and climate change-related disasters, like hurricanes and floods, have increased five times over the last 50 years, killing an average of 115 people per day. The UN report also emphasized the importance of providing “early warnings [to] save lives and livelihoods from climate threats.” AWS customers around the world are working to do just that. Using predictive modeling, organizations are forecasting the future to help governments, businesses, and communities find opportunities to prevent environmental damage as well as economic and human loss.

How five key industries use AI, machine learning and the cloud to meet their sustainability goals
Technology innovation is helping some of the largest producers of greenhouse gases to drastically cut emissions. Learn how they’re doing it.Reducing carbon emissions usually comes down to achieving greater efficiency in the use of energy and materials. Improving efficiency requires detailed mapping and monitoring of very complex systems such as factories, electrical grids, HVAC systems and logistics routings. Increasingly, these environments are outfitted with sensors, and artificial intelligence excels at finding patterns in the huge amounts of data that these sensors collect, says Bratin Saha, vice president of machine learning services at Amazon.
