Wasabi Technologies has introduced the Wasabi Impact Circle, an initiative aimed at partners and managed service providers (MSPs) focused on addressing the carbon footprint associated with cloud storage. The programme is developed in collaboration with Zero Circle, a sustainable finance marketplace, and is intended to enable partners to track storage-related carbon emissions and allow customers to invest in verified climate-related projects worldwide.
Research cited by Wasabi indicates that sustainability is an important consideration for organisations when selecting cloud storage solutions. As companies work to reduce emissions, including in the context of increasing AI-driven data growth, the Wasabi Impact Circle provides a method for partners to engage with emissions tracking and sustainability-related activities alongside business operations.
The initiative integrates with Zero Circle’s carbon footprint calculator, allowing users to estimate emissions costs by uploading Wasabi invoices and receiving near real-time insights.
It is designed for partners seeking to monitor and manage storage-related emissions while participating in climate-related investment projects. It includes curated portfolios of carbon credit projects intended to support different sustainability objectives and impact goals. These portfolios typically focus on:
- Access to certified carbon credits
- Project verification and quality assessment
- Support for carbon reduction and carbon removal technologies
Overall, the Wasabi Impact Circle is positioned as a tool that links cloud storage usage with emissions tracking and participation in carbon offset and climate finance projects.
