Google Cloud has expanded its suite of tools to reveal the carbon footprint for its Workspace apps, which include Gmail and Docs, aiming to help its customers assess their environmental impact.
The tech giant’s plan is to be completely carbon-free by 2030. To reach the goal, it currently uses renewable energy sources in all of its operations and had completely offset all of its emissions by 2007.
Last year, it added three new features to Google Maps that will help users reduce their carbon footprint by offering the least polluting flight or driving route. It also announced in October that it will tell its customers the carbon emissions of cloud usage and open satellite imagery to them for environmental analysis, in a bid to help firms track and cut carbon footprint.
