Our sustainability commitment

How we’re helping customers Grow Greener

We recognise the responsibility and opportunity to manage the impact our services have on the environment. We are committed to reducing not only our own carbon emissions, but our customers’ too.

Sustainability commitment and actions

Grow Greener

We launched our Grow Greener pledge on Earth Day 2022. It set out our mission to help ambitious and innovative businesses that want to grow in a more sustainable way, without negatively impacting our planet and its people.   

Grow Greener includes helping businesses measure the carbon emissions of their Azure environment. That’s why customers who transact their Microsoft Cloud spend through Cloud Direct get reports detailing their carbon emissions, and recommendations on how to reduce them.

And that’s just the beginning. We’ve got more investment planned into developing our Grow Greener pledge.

Carbon Emission Targets

We measure and report all our scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions. A copy of our Greenhouse Gas Protocol compliant report is available on request.

We will be carbon neutral by the end of 2025 when all unavoidable emissions will be off-set via projects in line with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. 

In 2025, we will set specific targets and emission reduction plans with a goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2045.

Environmental policies

Hybrid working

We operate a Hybrid Working environment. Staff are trained, equipped and encouraged to consider the environment when managing where they work from. The environmental benefits of this include fewer work-related journeys, less commuting, and increased use of remote video conferencing. 

Environmental training

It is mandatory for all staff to complete environmental training. This education helps individuals and teams to consider how they can minimise their own, and the businesses, environmental impact. 

Sustainable equipment

All electronic equipment is repaired, reused, or recycled.

Microsoft Cloud First

We are a Microsoft Cloud First organisation, which means we use Microsoft Cloud wherever it is the most suitable solution. A 2018 study found that using Microsoft Azure can be up to 93 per cent more energy efficient and up to 98 per cent more carbon efficient than on-premises solutions.

Microsoft Azure will use 100 per cent renewable energy by 2025, with targets also in place to be water positive by 2030 and zero-waste by 2030. Microsoft is also investing millions of pounds into research and innovation to achieve their sustainability targets.

Helping our customers grow green 

We’re excited to announce that we’ve introduced sustainability reporting and recommendations to our Azure Managed Service. Our customers can now receive regular reports on the carbon footprint of their Azure Environment to help them work towards their sustainability targets.
