Sustainability is a key concern for businesses of all sizes, across all sectors. Microsoft believes that sustainability is critical for meeting the economic, societal and environmental needs of both today and future generations.
Did you know that Microsoft are committed to becoming carbon negative by 2030? To achieve this goal, the company is taking a holistic approach to sustainability that includes not only reducing its own carbon footprint, but also investing in new technologies and projects to help others to reduce theirs.
The Microsoft Partner Pledge
One such initiative is the Microsoft Partner Pledge: a joint commitment between Microsoft and its partners to collaborate on environmental sustainability and social responsibility.
The Microsoft Partner Pledge consists of three main pillars: Growing talent in our industry, - Enhancing Diversity & Inclusion and Shaping a desirable world through sustainability. As a CSP reseller, you can participate by taking steps to reduce your own carbon emissions and encourage your customers to adopt sustainable practices. This can include promoting the use of Microsoft's cloud solutions, which are designed to be energy-efficient and eco-friendly.
Participating in the Microsoft Sustainability Pledge will help you to differentiate yourselves from competitors and demonstrate a clear commitment towards social responsibility. It will also grant you access to a wide range of tools and resources that will empower you to develop and promote your own sustainability message.
Calculate Your Cloud Footprint
Using Power BI template apps and third-party validated carbon accounting, the Emissions Impact Dashboard for Azure and the Emissions Impact Dashboard for Microsoft 365 can help you to measure your Microsoft cloud–based emissions, as well as estimating emissions avoided by utilising the cloud.
