This means that reducing Scope 3 emissions, including the embodied carbon associated with construction of their buildings, is critical to reaching their commitment.<\/p>\n
Microsoft is focused on reducing carbon emissions across its operations, from buildings and datacenters to employee transportation. This white paper, \u201cReducing Embodied Carbon: An inside look into how Microsoft is reducing emissions during the construction of new buildings and datacenters\u201d places a focus on Microsoft\u2019s work to reduce embodied carbon in the design and construction of our buildings and data centers. The goal of the paper is to share the data and lessons learned from Microsoft pilot projects, in hopes that other organizations adopt deep carbon reduction commitments and share their experiences in return.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||20px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/carbonleadershipforum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Microsoft-Reducing-EC-Whitepaper-July-2021_Page_01.jpg” title_text=”Microsoft Reducing EC Whitepaper – July 2021_Page_01″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”1px” border_color_all=”#6E6F72″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/carbonleadershipforum.org\/download\/17995\/” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Download the Whitepaper” button_alignment_tablet=”” button_alignment_phone=”center” button_alignment_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”40px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
