Question

Which major tech-company recently announced that it has planned to cut more than half of carbon emissions across its supply chain?

• A. Microsoft
• B. Google
• C. Infosys
• D. IBM

Hint:

- Microsoft's Target: To be Carbon Negative and eliminate historical carbon emissions. - Google's Target: To operate entirely on 24/7 carbon-free energy across all data centers. The specific pledge to cut more than half of emissions across the entire supply chain belongs to Microsoft's historic climate roadmap.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Corporate climate commitments have increasingly shifted from simple energy offsets to comprehensive supply chain mitigation strategies. Carbon emissions are typically classified into three categories: Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased electricity), and Scope 3 (all other indirect emissions across the entire supply and value chain, including manufacturing partners and product lifecycles).

Step 1:

Microsoft Corporation made an aggressive global announcement outlining its roadmap to become completely carbon negative. As a major milestone within this detailed policy, Microsoft launched a program to cut its total carbon emissions by more than half across both its direct operations and its entire Scope 3 supply and value chain.

Step 2:
Furthermore, the company committed to an even larger environmental goal: removing all the carbon from the environment that the company has emitted either directly or through electrical consumption since it was founded in 1975. This ambitious commitment to reduce supply chain emissions by over 50
