Microsoft Cloud’s Post

Here's my Top 10 (2 posts) fav's recap of the 88 page report: 1. Congrats to Phil Spencer and Trista Patterson, PhD pg 62! First gaming console with CARBON AWARENESS- shutdown energy savings mode. The Developer SDK rocks and their leadership on the Playing for the Planet Alliance facilitated by the UN. 2. Climate Innovation Fund (CIF) $1B - Twelve's and LanzaJet SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) leadership excels 3. Junk Kouture- pg 67 Thank you Karianna Barreto, Maruschka Loubser, Marie-Laure De Veyt for seeing this vision so early! (I'm JK's strategic advisor and US/NYC team funder to World Finale's in Monaco) 4. AI for Good's Planetary Computer and the AI for Earth- it will blow your mind- collaborative/powerful 5. Cloud for Sustainability- Emissions Impact Dashboard and Environmental Credit Service. Tracking Scope 1-2-3 emissions is critical

Delighted to have Junk Kouture included and contributing in a positive way

The link to the entire report on the landing page isn't working. Can someone check this, Melanie Nakagawa?

Well done, team Microsoft! Another exemplary publication with full transparency and a solutions focus!

Congratulations on the insightful analysis of our sustainability progress and the action plan for improvements in critical areas. Collaborating as an organization with our customers and partners across complexity remains the key to meeting the global challenge head-on! 🌎 🌍 🌏

Congratulations, Microsoft! It was a pleasure collaborating on both the sustainability film and report. Looking forward to more impactful projects together.

6. Sustainability Black Belt and Sustainability Connected Community Matt Hellman- lets do more in Arizona, you can engage and activate Microsoft Alumni Network! 7. Green Skilling- with Linked In- brilliant and with 1B LI active users- this could be transformative. Interesting data on gender engagement in sustainability. Sustainability has HIGHLY successful females- check out the many top ranked pubs ranking top female CSO's 8. Partnerships- pg 82 and Project Drawdown and Exec Director Jonathan Foley. Didn't realize MSFT supported them for 5 years. 9. Green Software Foundation and the Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) and Carbon Aware SDK! 10. So thrilled Microsoft hired Melanie Nakagawa as CSO- her expertise (top 3 global ranking), leadership and impact will continue to scale this incredible work which is impacting global people and the planet!

Great job Melanie Nakagawa and team. Thank you for leading this change for Microsoft and our 🌎. Thank you for also taking your learnings and sharing with our customers and partners!

Melanie Nakagawa - I really love how focused Microsoft is on sustainability and in leading global change in this area. Super progress! While I worked at Microsoft for almost 24 years, I'm taking time away from work for a Sustainability graduate program at MIT presently. We are currently discussing strategies to move industries to carbon zero. We were wondering whether Microsoft's calculations to baseline current state and define strategies to achieve carbon negative by 2030 include the environmental cost of extracting natural capital that physically goes into infrastructure maintenance and growth, hardware costs, etc.? For the sustainability geeks it would be wonderful to get access to the data showing the calculations if available. Thanks in advance for anything you can share or a contact I can discuss this further with. Keep up the great work!
