AWS launches Sustainability console for carbon emissions tracking

AWS launches the AWS Sustainability console, a free, standalone service that shows customers their environmental impact associated with their AWS usage. Expanding on the features from the Customer Carbon Footprint Tool (CCFT) in the AWS Billing console, this new service addresses a critical access barrier by enabling sustainability professionals to view carbon emissions data without requiring billing permissions. Organizations can now ensure the right teams have access to the environmental data.

Like the CCFT, the AWS Sustainability console provides customers their estimated carbon emissions from using AWS, calculated using both market-based (MBM) and location-based (LBM) methods and available by AWS Region, service, and emissions scope (1, 2, 3). The console also delivers additional capabilities including improved customizable visualizations, the ability to set which month your fiscal year starts, customizable CSV reports, and API/SDK access for seamless integration of emissions data into existing reporting workflows.

The AWS Sustainability service is now available in the US East (N. Virginia) region and provides carbon emissions data for all AWS commercial regions. Access the service globally through the AWS Management Console.
