Cloud Reference Architecture Sustainability lens

From the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Framework the focus for the Cloud reference architecture is on Climate Change & Carbon Emission

6 Pillars of Cloud Sustainability framework

Infrastructure Optimization. Utilize or shift to public cloud, requiring low carbon grid usage and use opportunities for optimization of data centers and resources
Application Optimization.Eco-design applications to minimize resource utilization balanced for optimal demand (through continuous testing)
Green Architecture.Develop standardized, loosely coupled and sustainable architectures, designed for ease of operations and adaptability
Business Solutions.Building solutions to reduce wastage of natural resources, using technology to assist sustainable development
Sustainable Delivery.Improving service delivery efficiency through automation (doing more with less) and bringing awareness
Data-Driven Decision.Effective decision-making for developing sustainable solutions through analytics, effective storage of data with lower resource utilization

As a Group We have a dual ambition:

help our clients save 10 million tCO2e by 2030

Be carbon neutral for our own operations no later than 2025 and across our supply chain by 2030, and committed to becoming a net zero business by 2040.
