Microsoft: Committed to Sustainability

Anita Joseph caught up with Naim Yazbeck, General Manager, Microsoft UAE, to find out how the company’s cutting-edge sustainability solutions are helping organizations meet their sustainability goals and green footprint agenda.

What are Microsoft’s latest energy efficient solutions?

Microsoft has several energy solutions that are designed to empower organizations across the UAE and the region to reduce their environmental footprint and create new value in a changing landscape. Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability, for example, is a comprehensive suite of tools and solutions that can help organizations of all sizes to achieve their sustainability goals.

To help meet carbon reduction goals, we launched our Environmental Credit Service which provides a common infrastructure and shared standards for organizations that want high-quality carbon offset credits. The Microsoft Sustainability Manager empowers organisations to monitor and manage their environmental sustainability journey by unifying data intelligence and providing insights to drive and accelerate sustainability progress. In addition, our Emissions Impact Dashboard for Microsoft 365 allows our customers to calculate emissions associated with their use of Microsoft products like Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business. It also allows them to calculate emissions savings when they move workloads to the cloud.
