Carbon Footprint

Google Cloud Carbon Footprint tracks the emissions generated by your cloud infrastructure. It aggregates data to help you measure, report, and disclose your environmental impact, specifically targeting the needs of ESG compliance. This service turns raw usage metrics into actionable sustainability data, allowing engineering teams to quantify their carbon output directly within the Google Cloud ecosystem without needing external auditing tools.

It suits organizations already operating on GCP that require internal sustainability metrics. The main catch is the lack of a free tier; you pay for this visibility on a pay-as-you-go basis. Since there is no no-cost entry point, smaller teams or those just exploring carbon accounting might find the mandatory cost barrier annoying, especially if they don’t yet have formal ESG reporting requirements.
