Can We Trust AI to Solve Sustainability?
The future of AI is often framed in two extremes: Utopia or Dystopia. On the one hand, some consider that AI is being built for the betterment of human society. Meanwhile, others see it as inherently perpetuating an extractivist system that is dependent on unsustainable resource use.Â
Like a flint stone, a calculator, or the internet, AI is merely a tool. A tool’s power is given to it through the intentions and actions of its user.

A promising area is in the ESG space, around data collection, analysis, and reporting. From our experience, while people are generally optimistic around AI's potential benefits, there is also a fundamental concern around what good data governance looks like.

Start With Your Data, the Rest Will Follow
"What do you mean we can't use AI in our business?"
This is a common — and often incredulous — reaction I hear from prospective clients when I tell them that they can't use AI in their business. The surprise typically stems from a belief that they can simply point an AI at their data and it will magically figure out what to do and solve any problem.
Unfortunately, AI isn't magic, it’s maths.

ESG consultants are under mounting pressure from all sides. Against a backdrop of intensifying climate change impacts while navigating regulatory confusion, their clients are asking for faster analysis and reporting, without compromising on quality and transparency.Â
