Sustainability and technology: harnessing technology to meet sustainability goals

TECHNOLOGY - SHOWCASE
5 March 2024, Europe 10:00 am - 11:30 am GMT | 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm CEST
IN PARTNERSHIP

In recent years, there has been an unprecedented surge in the importance placed on corporate sustainability. Disruption caused by rapidly increasing global temperatures, a cost-of-living crisis, deepening geopolitical tensions and a pandemic have served as a catalyst for innovation, with a growing number of organizations now publicly committing to ambitious environmental and social targets in order to improve their sustainability profile and drive positive change.

Leading companies understand, however, that achieving their sustainability goals requires a systemic approach to transformation – one that incorporates both technology and data from the start. But despite widespread consensus from 72% of respondents in a recent Amazon Web Services (AWS) study that technology is ‘indispensable’ for achieving sustainability targets, only 21% said their tools, platforms and current solutions had proven effective so far.

Join AWS and sustainability experts for an enlightening Showcase with Meet the Boss as we delve into the complex, symbiotic relationship that connects technology with sustainability. Explore how technological solutions can act as an accelerant for sustainability initiatives as we hear from companies that have successfully embarked upon this journey.
