Adding Scope One and Three Emissions to Reporting Data

Last year, the vendor announced Carbon Footprint for Google Cloud. This helps companies measure and reduce the gross carbon emissions of using Google Cloud services. Now Carbon Footprint is adding both scope one and three emissions to its reporting data.

In addition to accounting for customers’ scope two emissions, they will also be able to access data on the emissions from the sources Google Cloud controls directly. This is in addition to “the relevant emissions of Google’s scope three proportion to customer usage,” explained Keeble.

“This will give our customers the most comprehensive view possible, of the emissions associated with their cloud usage.”
