Understand and reduce your carbon impact with Cloudflare

This post introduces the Carbon Impact Report, a new tool for all Cloudflare accounts that outlines carbon savings from operating Internet properties on Cloudflare's network. It details the methodology for calculating these savings by comparing Cloudflare's energy usage for data transfer against average non-Cloudflare network energy usage and global average emissions. The report quantifies savings in CO2e and provides relatable comparisons, such as light bulb usage. It also reiterates Cloudflare's commitment to renewable energy and explains how using Cloudflare's services (WAF, DDoS mitigation, Image Resizing, Pages, Workers KV) contributes to reducing a customer's carbon footprint.
