How organizations are using Generative AI to scale sustainability

Organizations face ever increasing demands from shareholders, employees, customers, and legislators to deliver sustainability, productivity, and profitability. 48% of CEOs see productivity or profitability as their top priority in the next three years, with 42% seeing sustainability as their top challenge.

And while 95% of organizations have developed ESG propositions, only 10% say they have made significant progress toward their goals. 73% citing a struggle to manage an overload of manual data their greatest inhibitor.

So, what’s the key to turning sustainability intel into action? What’s needed in 2024 to hit both sustainability goals and financial targets? Generative AI!

Join IBM, along with a select group of your peers, for in-depth conversation on the use of GenAI to address key sustainability data gaps, make reporting processes more efficient, reduce risk, and comply with rapidly changing requirements.

From the entire team at Meet the Boss and IBM, we look forward to hearing your thoughts and providing you with the right discussions to keep you on course, every course.

We look forward to seeing you in Chicago!
