Environmental benefits of cloud computing
Moving to the cloud isn’t just about convenience—it also reduces environmental impact. According to Accenture (cited by CloudZero), migrating to the cloud can cut carbon emissions by up to 84% and energy consumption by 64%. Moreover, small and medium businesses are directing over half of their technology budgets to cloud services in 2025, and public cloud spending is projected to reach $723.4 billion.
Sustainable IT practices
- Optimized workloads: Scaling resources based on demand reduces over‑provisioning and energy waste.
- Greener data centers: Choose providers with renewable energy commitments and efficient cooling technologies.
- Carbon accounting: Monitor cloud usage and calculate carbon impact to identify reduction opportunities.
- Lifecycle management: Retire or repurpose legacy hardware to minimize e‑waste.
Aligning sustainability with business goals
Environmental responsibility enhances brand reputation and compliance with regulations. Combining cost optimization with sustainability creates win‑win scenarios: lower bills and smaller carbon footprints.
