Our sustainability report needs cloud carbon data and we are flying blind
The board has committed to scope 3 emissions reduction targets and IT is a material slice. Microsoft Sustainability Manager and Azure Carbon Optimization would surface the data but the team has not integrated either. The sustainability team's current numbers are educated guesses.
Trigger — Sustainability report cycle; board emissions target.
Good outcome — Carbon data live for the Azure estate, reduction patterns identified, sustainability KPIs in the FinOps quarterly cadence.
