Cloud banking platform Temenos has launched a carbon emissions calculator to give customers insight into carbon emissions data associated with their consumption of its services.

The calculator, which is is embedded into the Temenos Banking Cloud client portal, leverages data provided by Microsoft Cloud and its methodology was independently verified by Grant Thornton.

Temenos Banking Cloud is powered by Microsoft Azure and uses services like Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Functions, Azure SQL and more.

The company claims that banks utlising its cloud services can enjoy over 90% in carbon emission savings compared to on premise IT infrastructures.
