Chris Skipper hosts Florent Morel and Joseph Cook to discuss Carmen on this Backstage episode. Built at Amadeus and now part of the GSF ecosystem, Carmen helps organizations measure software carbon emissions at both infrastructure and application levels using existing observability and FinOps data, all powered by the GSF Impact Framework. They discuss why granular, team-level emissions data matters, how Carmen works in practice, and how standardized, transparent measurements can turn sustainability insights into concrete engineering action.
