  Fighting climate change

  The environmental benefits of our G-Cloud Service provision are substantiated by Microsoft’s own studies and commitments towards climate change. A 2018 study found that using the cloud platforms can be up to 93% more energy efficient and up to 98% more carbon efficient than on-premises solutions. Real sustainability requires solutions that address wastefulness at every level of a business. Hosting on the cloud is more environmentally friendly and results in less of a carbon footprint. Cloud infrastructures support environmental proactivity, powering virtual services rather than physical products and hardware, and cutting down on paper waste, improving energy efficiency, and (given that it allows employees access from anywhere with an internet connection) reducing commuter-related emissions. Independent reports predict that data centre energy consumption would drop by 31% from based on the adoption of cloud computing and other virtual data options.

  Covid-19 recovery

Microsoft hope to empower researchers around the world to accelerate understanding of the COVID-19 virus and the development of treatments and vaccines to help address infections. Consortium members manage a range of computing capabilities that span from small clusters to some of the very largest supercomputers in the world. AI for Health is a new $60 million, five-year philanthropic program from Microsoft, created to empower non-profits, researchers, and organizations tackling some of the toughest challenges in global health. Microsoft are providing access to AI and expertise in these areas; Accelerating medical research to advance the prevention, diagnoses, and treatment of diseases, increasing our shared understanding of health and longevity to protect against global health crises, reducing health inequity and improving access to care for underserved populations and supporting fundamental research capabilities, including data collaboratives and differential privacy.
