Microsoft aims to lead the way in every aspect of tech, from productivity tools to how they build data centers.
Their latest experiment? Building data centers using something called cross-laminated timber (CLT), instead of traditional steel and concrete.
It’s estimated that using wood in the construction process will reduce Microsoft’s carbon footprint by 35%. That’s a big shift towards sustainability.
Microsoft is also thinking ahead with alternative power solutions, preparing for the heavy demands of future developments in AI.
Why should this matter to you, as a business owner?
Because what Microsoft is doing isn’t just about reducing emissions – it’s about innovation.
It’s a reminder that every part of a business (even the data centers we don’t see) can be optimized to make a difference.
As a business owner, staying competitive means adapting all the time.
What can you think about changing today to make a big difference in the months and years to come?
