Admins

We’ve heard from our customers that it would be helpful to understand their organization’s carbon emissions from Google Workspace product usage. For many of our customers, sustainability has become an increasingly important factor for IT-related decision making and resource allocation.

At Google, we continue to make product and operational improvements to reduce environmental impact. Our goal is to run on carbon-free energy, 24/7, at all of our data centers and cloud regions by 2030. Plus, we’re sharing technology, methods, and funding to enable organizations around the world to transition to more carbon-free and sustainable systems — see here for more information about our sustainability commitments.

Google uses the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the global standard for carbon accounting to generate the Carbon footprint reports. We recommend that admins familiarize themselves with the GHG terminology — you can find more information in our Help Center or the video below.
