Sustainability

Track your carbon footprint, reduce energy use, and build more sustainable operations

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.

Reducing energy use is a top objective for manufacturing companies as it reduces cost, helps meet regulatory requirements, and preserves our natural resources.

Amazon deeply understands sustainability and offers the expertise to help industrial companies on their journey to meet their sustainability goals. A recent study estimates running optimized workloads on AWS infrastructure can reduce carbon footprint by up to 99%. Beyond the immediate benefits, AWS also delivers services and solutions with a highly efficient infrastructure to help ingest, analyze, and manage disparate scope 1-3 sustainability data to better track your carbon footprint, and identify energy conservation and waste reduction opportunities.  

Benefits

Improve energy efficiency
A study released by Accenture and AWS estimates running optimized workloads on AWS’s infrastructure is up to 4.1 times more efficient than the typical on-premises data center.
Reduce cost and waste
Identify areas for process improvement and mitigate consumption of Water, Air, Gas, Electricity, and Steam.
Better manage sustainability data
Ingest, analyze, and manage sustainability data to build solutions like carbon tracking, energy conservation and waste reduction.
