AI skills every sustainability leader should learn
“AI is quickly becoming an essential part of the sustainability toolkit, but it’s only effective when practitioners know how to use it responsibly and confidently."
Artificial intelligence is disrupting just about every profession – including the work of Chief Sustainability Officers. But sustainability leaders may be lacking the skills and proficiency to use this tool with confidence.
Sustainability leaders recognise the potential benefits of AI, particularly to free up time spent collecting and analysing data, giving them more freedom to think strategically about their organisations’ transformation. As an example, Microsoft’s Chief Sustainability Officer Melanie Nakagawa noted in 2024 that AI had freed up 70% of her team's time.
