Majority of companies say AI impacts decarbonization efforts

Here’s news from this “ESG Today” article:

Over half of companies globally report that the use of AI has a major impact on key areas of their decarbonization efforts, such as emissions measurement and reporting, according to a new survey released by Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and AI usage was also found to be a significant driver of companies’ ability to derive substantial sustainability-related financial benefits, the report found.

Despite the availability of new tools and the apparent financial benefits, however, the survey also found little progress by companies over the past year in their decarbonization initiatives.
