Leading hyperscalers and cloud infrastructure providers have made progress in addressing their environmental impact, yet many still face challenges in meeting net-zero commitments across their entire value chain.
This Environmental KPI tracker compiles publicly available data on energy consumption, CO₂ emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3), circular economy metrics (including waste production, recycling rates, and water consumption), and net-zero target commitments for the world’s top public cloud and infrastructure providers by revenue. The dataset spans a five-year period from 2018 to 2023 and is updated bi-annually to reflect the latest industry trends.
