“ We focus on efficiency across all aspects of our infrastructure , from the design of our data centres and hardware to modelling the performance of our operations for continually enhanced efficiency ,” he adds . “ One way our customers are able to move toward meeting their sustainability goals is by migrating to AWS . Amazon is committed to reaching net-zero carbon across our business by 2040 , staying on path to power our operations with 100 % renewable energy by 2025 , and being water positive by 2030 .”
AWS is further lowering its carbon emissions throughout its operations by focusing energy efficiency and addressing a broad category of indirect emissions , including those associated with the construction of our data centres .
“ Once our customers migrate to AWS , we help customers improve their sustainability in the cloud through tools such as the Sustainability Pillar for Well-Architected and the customer carbon footprint tool . We help our customers understand the environmental impacts of the services they use , we quantify impacts through their entire workload lifecycle , and apply best practices to reduce these impacts .”
