SOLUTIONS // GREENOPS

Cloud carbon, joined to cloud cost.

Sustainability reporting (CSRD, CDP, SBTi) increasingly requires cloud carbon attribution. PolicyCortex pulls Azure Emissions Impact, AWS Customer Carbon Footprint, and GCP Carbon Footprint — then ties it to FinOps. Idle resources retire automatically; right-sizing happens continuously. Lower carbon, lower spend, by construction.

PolicyCortex FinOps — $4.2M last 7d spend, anomalies surfaced, savings opportunities tagged to right-sizing + idle resource retirement

FAQ

Where does carbon data come from?

Azure Emissions Impact Dashboard (scope 1, 2, 3); AWS Customer Carbon Footprint (scope 2); GCP Carbon Footprint Report (scope 2). PolicyCortex ingests these natively and joins to resource-level cost.

CSRD compliance — can you generate the report?

Carbon data per disclosure category, yes. The narrative + governance attestations still require human input — PolicyCortex provides the data foundation, not the full filing.

Right-sizing risk — what if we downgrade and traffic spikes?

Right-sizing recommendations include rollback contracts. If post-change metrics breach SLO (latency, error rate, etc.), automatic rollback to prior size within minutes.

Difference vs FinOps tools (Vantage, CloudHealth)?

Those are cost-only. We join cost + carbon + compliance into one substrate. A right-size action is simultaneously a cost win, a carbon win, and an evidence event for ATO.

PROCUREMENT · NEXT STEP

Lower carbon. Lower spend. Same engine.

$15,000 flat for the 30-day pilot. Connect cloud, baseline carbon + cost, watch idle resources retire automatically.
