The Carbon Footprint of AI & Data Centers

As climate reporting regulations strengthen year over year, companies must provide better accounting of their emissions and investments in the increasing carbon footprints associated with their technology supply chains. TerraTrust focuses on sustainable enterprise IT operations to illuminate the blind spot associated with the technology supply chain.

Data centers that drive Cloud service providers use a great deal of electricity, which results in a significant carbon footprint for the IT sector that may not be included in sustainability reporting and disclosures. Data centers also consume substantial volumes of water. For these reasons, any decrease in IT resource consumption reduces the environmental impact of IT operations and furthers an organization’s sustainability initiatives.

This issue is exacerbated by the proliferation of AI, which fuels massive consumption of computing, network, and storage via Cloud/data center services. IT must do its part to contribute to a sustainable future. 

Terra Trust has the solution to optimize Cloud utilization, reduce carbon emissions, lower IT operations costs, and expose data for producing comprehensive and compliant regulatory reports.

By combining Carbonhound’s robust, automated, and comprehensive carbon emissions data management capabilities with TerraTrust’s expertise in the impact of the IT sector, the partnership will streamline the process of accurately measuring and reporting on the climate impact of businesses and investments ahead of ever-changing regulations.

The partnership underscores Terra Trust and Carbonhound’s shared commitment to driving a more sustainable future for businesses.
