Integrate AWS carbon and water data into your ESG reporting
Global Infrastructure and Sustainability Blog
This article explains how to integrate AWS carbon and water data into ESG reporting platforms through manual downloads, native connectors, or custom automated data pipelines.
- AWS Sustainability service provides console visualizations and API access to retrieve carbon emissions and water withdrawal data
- Manual ingestion involves downloading reports from AWS Sustainability console and uploading to ESG platforms like Greenly
- Native connectors in ESG tools like Sweep automatically import AWS carbon and water data with proper IAM permissions
- Custom integrations use Carbon emissions Data Exports to S3, triggered by EventBridge to process data via Lambda and Step Functions
- Data pipelines should account for methodology version updates and alert stakeholders of revised figures
- Water allocation data currently available only through console and API, not Data Exports
Organizations can start with manual reporting and progress to automated integrations to keep ESG platforms updated with AWS environmental impact data.
