We have one earth and one chance to do it right.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Undeniably, nature gave us resources aplenty to sustain life. But with rampant misuse and destruction of our home planet, where do we see ourselves in the next fifty years?<\/span><\/p>\n

Needless to say, it\u2019s time to take action. Climate activism is the talk of the town, especially among the younger generations. People realise that our current practices are not viable to secure a healthy future. As traditional practices are failing the environment, it\u2019s time to take a look at healthy solutions like <\/span>cloud communications<\/strong>.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Consumers are very smart and conscious these days. Just as they\u2019ve uncovered the ugly truth of fast fashion\u2014the <\/span>second-largest water polluting industry<\/span><\/a>\u2014it\u2019s not long before they dig into climate policies in other sectors as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They want environment-friendly economies, and they want them now. So what do you need to do?<\/span><\/p>\n

The name of the game is <\/span>sustainability<\/strong>.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is sustainable development?<\/h2>\n

We need to meet human development goals without depleting natural resources. Essentially, attend to present needs without compromising on the future requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n

This includes keeping a check on CO2 emissions, reducing carbon footprint and global warming, and using resources judiciously.<\/span><\/p>\n

As companies and factories continue to mass-produce, they deploy heavy hardware at the workplace, which increases their carbon emission. But there is a way to reduce this by cutting down the need for physical hardware at offices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the help of cloud communication<\/a>, a \u2018no-hardware office\u2019 can be set-up.<\/span><\/p>\n

A lot of firms have already made strides in their efforts to curtail harmful practices. In fact, <\/span>Google<\/b> just made an incredible pledge for the climate<\/span><\/a>. In September 2020, CEO Sundar Pichai stated that the firm plans to run operations totally <\/span>carbon-free by the year 2030<\/strong>.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, Google \u2014via its carbon-neutral policy (circa 2007) and purchase of carbon offsets\u2014managed to cancel out all CO2 emissions made by the company since its founding in 1998.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other major companies like <\/span>Facebook<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Apple<\/a>,<\/span> and <\/span>Netflix<\/span><\/a> have made pledges to bring down their carbon emissions by 2030 as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

All the cool kids are doing it, so why not you?<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, yes, they\u2019re big companies with large emissions, but they also have huge resources to help them achieve their goals. However, you need not be left behind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cloud communications are set to reduce your carbon footprint and boost energy efficiency significantly. With Internet-based phoning solutions<\/a>, voice broadcasting, data storage, SMS solutions, etc., not only do you save costs and widen your reach, you\u2019re able to do it all sustainably.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can check out your greenhouse emissions using Microsoft Azure\u2019s <\/span>sustainability calculator<\/span> tool. With this information, you\u2019ll be better equipped to prepare a green strategy for your business model.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at how cloud solutions help you run an environment-friendly business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
