A new Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor report examined 25 global giants – from Amazon to Volkswagen – that have publicly made net-zero or carbon-neutral commitments. According to lead author Thomas Day, there are no standards governing these goals or how they are achieved, so the researchers were looking for best practices to share.

Policy as code is the natural evolution of infrastructure as code. Once you start to manage your infrastructure as code, you soon realize that the process needs solid governance and enforcement of policies at scale. The traditional approach of defining and enforcing policies with manual processes or cumbersome GUIs won’t cut it. Policy as code means that you define policies declaratively using text files that are checked into source control and can be reviewed and audited.
