With AI tools gaining traction in the workplace, business models and customer service, who is responsible for the impacts this is having on colleagues, customers, society and the environment? We’ve been exploring this question in our latest Sustainability Leaders Panel (SLP) survey, in partnership with A Blueprint for Better Business, Echo Research and Mishcon de Reya.

The SLP survey, which is now closed, explores how organisations are rolling out AI, whether and how sustainability teams are being engaged to manage its impacts, and to what extent sustainability leaders feel equipped to influence its responsible deployment.

On Tuesday 1st December, from 8.30am–10.30am, we will be bringing senior sustainability leaders together for a breakfast discussion in central London. We will share insights from the research and explore how sustainability professionals can help ensure AI creates long-term value for business, people and society.

We have a limited number of spaces available, and have held a few seats for our Friday 5 subscribers. So, if you are a senior in-house sustainability professional and interested in exploring these results, as well as the broader challenges and opportunities presented by AI for the sustainability community, please get in touch and apply to attend here.

Following our London event we will also be running our first SLP North event in Leeds. Please register your interest here.

The Sustainability Leaders Panel is a peer-to-peer group, and a great opportunity to connect and share experiences with others in the same boat, across a broad range of sustainability topics. Members of the SLP also get access to exclusive events, roundtables, workshops and drop-in sessions throughout the year. Please click here if you’d like to find out more, and to apply to join.
