Sustainability
Innovation isn't just about advancing technology—it's about progressing responsibly. Our Enterprise Cloud embodies this principle, offering businesses of any size a pathway to sustainability. When you choose Servent, you're not just adopting Azure's cloud solutions; you're embracing a greener future.
Microsoft’s Sustainability Commitment
Microsoft has long been committed to sustainability and reducing its environmental footprint. The company aims to be carbon negative by 2030 and, by 2050, to remove all the carbon it has emitted since its inception in 1975. Azure is a significant part of this commitment, offering organisations a way to achieve their sustainability goals without compromising on performance, security, or scalability.
Microsoft Azure data centres are increasingly powered by renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. The commitment to using green energy not only reduces carbon emissions but also lowers reliance on fossil fuels.
Why Azure over On-Premises?
Choosing between on-premise solutions and Microsoft Azure isn't just a technical decision; it also aide a business's sustainability goals. On-premise solutions often have higher carbon emissions and lower efficiency due to limited tools for monitoring emissions and underutilised infrastructure. They also struggle to drive sustainable innovation because of resource and technological limits.
On the other hand, Azure is a more sustainable choice. It offers tools like the Emissions Impact Dashboard to help organisations control and reduce their carbon footprint. Migrating to Azure can be up to 98% [1] more carbon-efficient, thanks to guidance from the Azure Well-Architected Framework that improves workload efficiency and minimises environmental impact. Additionally, Azure leads in developing clean, sustainable energy solutions, meeting the growing demand for environmentally responsible options. In short, Azure not only reduces environmental impact but also paves the way for a greener future for enterprises considering cloud computing.

Our own approach to sustainability
In addition to guiding our customers on their journey toward sustainability, we have embraced being a remote-first business. Our dedication to a remote-first policy isn't about adapting to the digital era; it is an intentional choice to safeguard our planet. By drastically minimising the need for daily commutes, reducing business travel, and maintaining a smaller office space, we significantly reduce our carbon footprint. Embracing this approach has not only led to a tangible decrease in greenhouse gas emissions but also fostered a culture of environmental consciousness within our team. As we continue to innovate and implement sustainable practices, we aim to inspire others in our industry. Our journey is a testament to the fact that small changes in how we work can lead to significant positive impacts on our planet.
