Cloud Carbon Accounting Is Becoming a Compliance Risk

Episode 25 of Cloud Computing with Fexingo tackles the rising pressure on cloud customers to measure and report their carbon emissions. Lucas and Luna explore why cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP now offer carbon-tracking tools, how regulators in the EU and California are pushing for Scope 3 disclosures, and what a mid-size SaaS company discovered when it ran its first cloud carbon audit. The hosts break down the difference between location-based and market-based reporting, the surprising role of renewable energy certificates, and why some enterprises are redesigning workloads to avoid high-carbon regions. A concrete look at how cloud carbon accounting is shifting from a nice-to-have ESG metric to a potential compliance requirement that could affect vendor selection, workload placement, and even contract terms. #CloudComputing #CarbonAccounting #AWS #Azure #GCP #Scope3 #ESG #Sustainability #CloudInfrastructure #DataCenter #RenewableEnergy #CarbonEmissions #ComplianceRisk #CloudCost #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CloudPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
