The updated CCFT now features Scope 3 emissions, complementing existing Scope 1 and 2 data, providing a comprehensive overview of carbon emissions from AWS usage. The integration of new emission categories includes refrigerants, natural gas, and detailed assessments on IT hardware and buildings, allowing customers to see emissions throughout the lifecycle of assets. Using an independently verified methodology, the tool enables fair distribution of total embodied carbon over an asset’s service life. By recalculating historical data, customers can track trends and make year-over-year comparisons, facilitating informed decision-making in decarbonization efforts. Enhanced functionality such as CSV data downloads and integration with visualization tools further aid organizations in addressing their sustainability goals.
The updates have been endorsed by customers like Salesforce and SAP, illustrating the critical role of precise emissions data in achieving meaningful climate action. Users now benefit from region-specific insights and the ability to analyze carbon footprint metrics over time, promoting transparency in digital operations. The continuous improvements in CCFT underscore AWS’s commitment to supporting customers on their journey towards sustainability, empowering them to take targeted actions based on comprehensive carbon data.
