Business of Tech | Microsoft Sustainability efforts – do customers care?

Microsoft is making its Cloud for Sustainability, a SaaS solution that organizations can use to record, report, and reduce emissions across their enterprise, generally available on June 1.      There’s a similar too, the Emissions Impact Dashboard, out for Azure, and the company has previously announced a version of this for Microsoft 365.  

Why do we care?

So, listeners, the question is … do customers really care about sustainability?    I’ll admit my bias here – I thought Green IT would take off over a decade ago, and I was very wrong.      So am I gun shy, or is this a demand from customers?

And does it change based on customer size?    I don’t have answers here – and in fact, I would very much like to hear from listeners on this one.
