SWG Insight Session: « AI x Corporate Sustainability »

Upcoming Sustainability Working Group (SWG) Insight Session on “Leveraging AI for Corporate Sustainability: Navigating Risk to Accelerate the Transition”

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) will increase exponentially in the next few years pushing all companies towards a more sustainable future. AI solutions for sustainability come with a promise to reduce overall emissions, streamline work processes or ease data collection and reporting. Its use in corporate sustainability also needs its safeguards. Many companies are developing codes of conduct for AI usage across their organization to help ethically navigate issues such as data privacy while efficiently handling large amounts of sensitive data.

This interactive discussion will cross expert perspectives – legal, regulatory, operational, ethical – around AI and corporate sustainability. It will also offer attendees examples of how companies are leveraging AI’s promise for sustainability objectives while mitigating its inherent risks.
