Putting the AI in SustAInability

The recent Sustainability Council webinar was an insightful and thought-provoking session led by Emma Herd, Partner at Ernst & Young’s Climate Change and Sustainability team and co-leader of EY’s Net-Zero Centre. The session tackled a highly relevant and timely topic: how emerging technologies like AI can be both a powerful tool and a complex challenge in the sustainability journey. Emma covered a wide range of topics, from the exponential growth of AI and its energy demands to its potential to transform ESG outcomes across sectors like manufacturing, logistics, finance and health.
