Businesses are urged to put sustainability at the heart of corporate strategy, and use AI to help
While the vast majority of organizations say they take their sustainability goals very seriously, only a few are using technology to cut their environmental footprint and shape their overall sustainability strategy.
Research from Kyndryl and Microsoft shows leaders increasingly recognize the benefits of sustainability initiatives for their organizations, with 38% having increased their sustainability goals and program execution since last year.
« As the world faces increasing climate-related challenges, businesses are under pressure to act decisively and place sustainability at the forefront – and this year’s Global Sustainability Barometer study highlights that organizations must move from intent to collective action to drive change », said Faith Taylor, chief corporate citizenship and sustainability officer at Kyndryl.
« By integrating sustainability into a company’s business strategy, processes and systems, organizations can maximize the value of their people and technology to achieve internal goals and deliver positive impact. »
However, while 84% of organizations say they place a high strategic importance on achieving sustainability goals, only 21% are doing this with the help of technology.
