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.
Overview
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.
