Dear reader,
Welcome to the Google Cloud Hub for DSM, your personal content hub with a selection of valuable and inspiring information.
On this hub, you will find relevant content - use cases, articles, whitepapers - that share insights into how Google Cloud can be a strong partner for DSM to accelerate your Cloud journey. You can also find out why several of our customers, such as Kroger and Wellio, decided to partner with Google Cloud to further boost their business.
I look forward to our meeting next month, and I'm available for any questions you may have in the meantime.
Best regards,

Sustainability
How carbon-free is your cloud? New data lets you know
Google first achieved carbon neutrality in 2007, and since 2017 we’ve purchased enough solar and wind energy to match 100% of our global electricity consumption. Now we’re building on that progress to target a new sustainability goal: running our business on carbon-free energy 24/7, everywhere, by 2030.
Supply chain meets blockchain for end-to-end mineral tracking
As a company committed to sourcing our minerals responsibly, Google is working on new ways to make the mineral-tracking process more transparent for everyone along the value chain—from miners to consumers. In 2018, we joined Cisco, SGS, Volkswagen, and Peruvian mining company Minsur, all members of the Responsible Minerals Initiative, to launch a plan for end-to-end mineral traceability.

Google at the UN General Assembly
In September, leaders from government, civil society and the business community gathered at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to discuss how we can work together to solve the world’s biggest challenges. If the past two years have shown us anything, it’s that tackling global problems like pandemics, economic inequality and climate change demand global collaboration, across borders and across sectors. At Google, we’re committed to doing our part.

Leading with Google Cloud to modernize infrastructure in healthcare
It’s simply amazing to witness how some of our systems integrators employ Google Cloud solutions to drive innovation in ways we at Google may never have considered—especially in healthcare. According to analyst firm MarketsandMarkets, the market for the Cloud in healthcare is projected to grow 43% between 2020 and 2025 to nearly $65 billion, fueled by the need for better technology infrastructures and faster digital transformation.

Physicians say better data interoperability will save lives
COVID-19 affirmed the importance of data in healthcare, as the world rose to the challenge of understanding and fighting the pandemic. For decades, patient data has been stuck in silos, forcing physicians and caregivers to hunt across multiple sources for various bits of information to create a complete picture of a patient’s health. This lack of data interoperability has not only slowed caregivers down, it has impacted their ability to provide the best possible care.

WPP unlocks the power of data and creativity using Google Cloud
Over the past year, our customers have shared many stories with me about how cloud technology is transforming their businesses. One theme that frequently comes up is how the cloud enables marketers to deliver better customer experiences across online and offline campaigns, email, apps, websites, and more. By stitching together these consumer touchpoints via the cloud, marketers can ultimately produce more seamless, consistent experiences—and better outcomes for the businesses they support.
