Cloud adoption: a step towards sustainability 

Another way technology is reshaping the financial sector is through the widespread adoption of cloud technologies. Public cloud migrations have been shown to deliver significant benefits, including reducing overall costs by 30-40% (2), while also promoting sustainability. 

Cloud-native SaaS solutions, for instance, help reduce the need for energy-intensive on-premises infrastructure, ultimately lowering energy consumption and carbon emissions. Financial institutions—ranging from lenders to neo-banks and even traditional banks—are increasingly turning to cloud-native software as part of their efforts to achieve net-zero emissions. 

For instance, migrating workloads to Microsoft Azure has enabled financial services to decrease their carbon footprint by as much as 98%. (3)
