That said, how can you reduce your carbon footprint if you don’t even know from where you are starting

Well, Microsoft is now providing a PowerBI dashboard to help you get details about the carbon footprint for your Azure resources.

To start using it, go to [https://aka.ms/SustainabilityCalculator](https://aka.ms/SustainabilityCalculator) to get this dashboard

When you click on the **Get it** button you will be redirected to your PowerBI tenant (you may be requested to sign-in if not yet already)

Then you will be asked to install the **Microsoft Sustainability Calculator** PowerBI dashboard

Once installed, it will be available under the **Apps** section of your PowerBI tenant

If you don’t have yet a PowerBI workspace, you will be asked to create one

Once all the above has been completed you can now start using this dashboard to have a view and analysis of your carbon footprint in Azure by connecting to your Azure tenant; just replace the ‘sample Contoso’ details with your own Azure tenant details and the access key

**NOTE** you can get these information from your **Enterprise Agreement** portal ([https://ea.azure.com/](https://ea.azure.com/))

Finally you can then analyse the data by filtering by months/years, region and/or Azure service type
