Climate Power’s new tracker reveals xAI has the worst carbon intensity for AI data centers, while Amazon leads. See how behind-the-meter gas impacts scores.

Tesla’s sustainability strategy extends beyond EVs. Explore how its energy generation and storage business, vertical integration, and circular economy initiatives are reshaping its path to net-zero.

Meta’s data center emissions rose 16% in 2024. How the tech giant is balancing AI’s power hunger with net-zero goals via long-duration storage and advanced nuclear.

Corporate sustainability is shifting from voluntary targets to operational execution in 2026, driven by AI energy demand, infrastructure buildout, and circularity compliance rules.

Google, Microsoft, and Amazon see double-digit emissions spikes from AI data centers. Here’s what it means for clean energy, grids, and corporate climate targets.

First real attempt at a GHG Protocol for chemicals: Google/Apple-backed SCI Fund releases framework to measure corporate chemical footprints across supply chains. Tested in beauty, apparel, electronics. Open architecture, plugs into existing systems. Could be the standard we’ve needed. #ChemicalFootprint #SaferChemistry https://trellis.net/article/this-new-framework-measures-corporate-chemical-footprints/

Good reminder: certs keep your ops tight and investors happy, but they don’t close B2B deals in volatile markets. Fresh data shows buyers respond to ROI and risk reduction framing when uncertainty spikes. Adjust accordingly. #B2BSales #EnergyTransition https://trellis.net/article/b2b-certifications-lose-power-turbulent-times/

Citi’s 65% to its $1T sustainable finance goal beats JPM/BofA on pace. But Sierra Club cuts through: self-defined targets padded with social spending climate alignment. The metric matters less than the molecule. #EnergyTransition #SustainableFinance https://trellis.net/article/citi-refines-1-trillion-sustainable-finance-pledge/

The certification maze is real — hundreds of labels, zero common language. This breakdown of the 4 core building blocks (measure, plan, mitigate, report) is the clearest framework I’ve seen for cutting through the noise. Essential for anyone vetting climate claims. #CarbonAccounting #Greenwashing https://trellis.net/article/clarifying-language-sustainability/

Kering cut absolute emissions 33% since ’22 by redesigning what goes into Gucci — 63% of footprint is materials. Their EP&L made sustainability governable, not aspirational. Real decoupling starts at the fiber level. #SustainableLuxury #MaterialsInnovation https://trellis.net/article/gucci-maker-kerings-long-time-focus-materials-innovation-pays-off/
