Industry alignment
Many of Fastly's largest customers already expect accurate, actionable emissions data from their suppliers. Our dashboard supports corporate leaders in maintaining their sustainability commitments, enabling closer supplier-customer collaboration on emissions reduction.
Corporate Sustainability
Corporate Sustainability
The adoption of corporate sustainability disclosure practices has surged due to increased environmental awareness, regulatory mandates, and consumer pressure. Customers are seeking robust data to understand, report, and reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, especially those tied to their supply chains (Scope 3 emissions).
Transparency
Fastly ensures credible and detailed GHG protocol-aligned metrics by publishing its calculation methodology. It includes daily electricity use of data center infrastructure, annual renewable energy coverage, Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) from colocation vendors, and location-specific emission factors, providing reliable data for informed mandatory and voluntary disclosures.
Comprehensive emissions insight
The dashboard categorizes emissions into Scope 2 and Scope 3, breaking down GHG emissions resulting from electricity consumption by Fastly IT equipment (Scope 2) and from upstream energy-related activities or data center cooling needs (Scope 3 categories 3 and 8). Location-based and market-based distinctions add further clarity for those seeking precise quantification of the environmental impact of renewable energy coverage.
Integration with downstream systems
Seamless API integration and exportable CSVs make incorporating emissions data into internal systems or external reporting straightforward.
Actionable insights for optimization
By visually understanding the relationship between platform usage, electricity consumption, and GHG emissions, customers can identify carbon hotspots, the optimization of which can lead to efficiency and cost-saving opportunities that reduce emissions while enhancing operational performance
