How AI is Influencing Sustainability’s Future
Post# of 111
A report recently released by PwC discusses how the future of sustainability may be influenced by the evolving role of artificial intelligence. Already, AI is being utilized by businesses to promote the adoption of renewable energy, strengthen supply chains, and reduce carbon emissions, all while mitigating climate risks.
A separate report highlights the importance of properly implementing AI, revealing that nearly 75% of investors would prioritize companies committed to effective climate action, such as scaling renewable energy and innovating products.
To fully harness the value of AI, businesses can align their sustainability priorities with AI initiatives, driving efficiency, uncovering new opportunities, and delivering enhanced results.
So, how can businesses utilize this tech to their advantage?
For starters, they can use insights offered by this technology to optimize the integration of renewable energy, decrease waste, and improve grid performance. Deploying AI in energy management can also strengthen the market position of a business and improve their efficiency. This is in addition to lowering operating costs.
This advanced technology can also simplify compliance for businesses. The last few years have seen various regulations being enacted, from the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive to the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation.
Compliance with these regulations may be taxing, especially for major firms, which need vast amounts of data, much of which is not always readily available or systematically tracked within an organization. To help, artificial intelligence can be used to automate data collection, perform comprehensive analysis on the data, identify trends and produce sustainability reports.
This substantially reduces the compliance costs associated with the above tasks as well as time taken to complete them. By streamlining compliance processes, businesses can achieve even greater operational excellence and efficiency.
In addition to reporting, artificial intelligence can derive actionable insights from extensive datasets to shape sustainability plans. Furthermore, AI can help integrate sustainability data into decision-making. By offering insights in real time, leaders can made informed decisions about long-term sustainability initiatives as well as supply chain optimization.
AI can also help unlock new value for businesses by quantifying opportunities, which may help firms align their sustainability objectives with growth and profitability.
The adoption of renewable energy and growth of computational power is expected to make artificial intelligence more transformative as well as accessible. Businesses that seek to become leaders in the sustainability-driven economy of the future will do well to adopt artificial intelligence tools now, a move that may also bring in additional investors.
