… and more via open APIs and standard connectors.
Lower emissions,
lower bills
With rules like the EU CSRD and California SB-253 now requiring cloud emissions disclosure, measuring and reducing carbon is both a compliance need and a cost opportunity — the two move together.
Carbon-Aware Scheduling
0 %
Lower emissions
Shifting flexible workloads to cleaner hours and regions cuts emissions with no extra energy spend — typical reductions run 10–30% depending on grid and flexibility.
Efficiency
0 %
Less idle & wasted capacity
Rightsizing, idle cleanup, and efficient processors deliver high ROI — cutting both carbon and cost, since legacy hardware often runs at low utilization.
Energy
0 %
Energy per workload
Migrating to efficient hardware, consolidating workloads, and eliminating waste lowers the energy each unit of work consumes.
Compliance
0 %
ESG-report ready
Continuous, audit-ready reporting mapped to GHG Protocol, EU CSRD, and SB-253 keeps disclosure defensible — no year-end scramble.

Benefits

How it works
Measure, recommend, act,
report
One loop turns raw energy data into carbon reductions you can act
on — and prove.

1

Measure

Baseline energy and emissions across cloud and data center, attributed down to the workload and team.

2

Recommend
AI ranks concrete actions — rightsizing, region shifts, scheduling, idle cleanup — by carbon impact and effort.

3

Act
Carbon-aware scheduling and automation apply changes to flexible workloads without touching performance.

4

Report
Track trends against net-zero goals and generate audit-ready ESG reports for GHG Protocol, CSRD, and SB-253.
Why UnityOne AI

ITOps Sustainability Engine that
Pays for Itself

Measure what matters, act on real recommendations, cut carbon and cost together, and
prove it for compliance — sustainability and efficiency as one program.
Measure Everything First
Baseline energy and emissions across cloud and data center, down to the workload — because you can’t reduce what you can’t see.
Act on Real Recommendations
AI turns measurement into a prioritized backlog of concrete actions — rightsizing, region shifts, scheduling — ranked by impact.
Cut Carbon and Cost Together
Carbon and cost move together: rightsizing and waste elimination lower your footprint and your bill at the same time.
Prove It for Compliance
Track progress against net-zero goals and generate audit-ready reports for GHG Protocol, EU CSRD, and California SB-253.

FAQ

Questions teams ask us

What is a carbon reduction recommendation engine?

It analyzes your energy use and infrastructure efficiency, measures the resulting emissions, and recommends concrete, prioritized actions to cut carbon — then tracks progress against your goals and compliance requirements over time.

How does it measure emissions?

It attributes energy use to workloads and converts it to gCO₂e across Scope 1, 2, and 3 — per service and per region — using cloud provider data and real-time grid carbon intensity, so the footprint reflects reality rather than annual averages.

What is carbon-aware scheduling, and how much does it save?

It shifts flexible workloads — batch jobs, ML training, backups — to hours or regions where the grid is cleaner, using real-time and forecast carbon-intensity data. Typical reductions run about 10–30%, with wider flexibility windows yielding larger savings and no extra energy consumed.

Does cutting carbon also cut cost?

Usually, yes. The biggest levers — rightsizing, eliminating idle resources, and moving to efficient processors — lower both emissions and spend, which is why carbon and cost are tracked side by side as first-class KPIs.

Which compliance frameworks does it support?

Reporting maps to the GHG Protocol and emerging disclosure rules such as the EU CSRD and California SB-253, with audit-ready evidence gathered automatically so disclosure isn’t a year-end scramble.

Will reducing carbon hurt performance?

No. Latency-sensitive workloads are left untouched; only flexible, non-time-critical jobs are shifted, and efficiency actions like rightsizing are validated so performance and reliability are preserved.
