The Cloud Carbon Accounting Debacle Enterprises Face

Episode 25 of The Cloud Business Podcast. Lucas and Luna examine the messy reality of cloud carbon accounting — why AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud all calculate emissions differently, how a $200 million enterprise saw its reported carbon footprint swing by 30 percent depending on which methodology was used, and what the SEC's new climate disclosure rules mean for CIOs who need accurate Scope 3 data. They dig into the specific modeling choices that create the discrepancies, including how AWS attributes grid emissions versus how Azure handles renewable energy credits. A practical look at why 'carbon neutral cloud' claims are harder to audit than they sound — and what procurement teams should ask before signing the next contract. #CloudCarbon #AWS #Azure #GoogleCloud #Scope3Emissions #SECClimateRule #CarbonAccounting #RenewableEnergyCredits #GreenCloud #ESGReporting #EnterpriseInfrastructure #CloudProcurement #CarbonNeutral #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CloudComputing #Sustainability Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
