Session Abstract:
Decarbonization pledges have taken hold, first in Europe, and increasingly, globally. Also known as Net-Zero, this phenomenon is at the heart of achieving a sustainable business. The groundbreaking work towards sustainability in the mid- 1990s stalled. We didn’t know it then, but we were waiting for technology to catch up with the ambitious aims of sustainability: putting people and planet on the corporate agenda directly alongside profit. With breakthroughs in Digitalization, including IoT, Machine Learning, etc., we are finally in a position make real progress towards decarbonization and realize sustainability.
