Worth quoting
“Right now, most companies cannot tell you their carbon footprint. Not because they don't want to or don't care, but because the data is a complete mess.” – Mirko Peters (00:16)
“The platform has three main jobs, record your emissions, report on them accurately, and reduce your impact over time. Record, report, reduce. That's the cycle.” – Mirko Peters (03:15)

- 01:03 – The messy reality of sustainability data
- 02:35 – What Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability actually is

Key takeaways
- Most companies cannot state their carbon footprint because sustainability data is scattered across systems, formats and units.
- Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability brings data in via Excel templates, Power Query, partner connectors or manual requests and applies built-in emissions factors across scopes 1, 2 and 3.
- Ready-made templates for frameworks such as CSRD, an auditable data trail and AI-drafted disclosures turn months of manual reporting into a far faster process.
