Join our free virtual session “AI in Sustainability: Control and Communicate” during this year’s Climate Action Series.
This session is for sustainability and communications teams figuring out where AI fits into their work. You’ll leave with a practical starting point for AI governance, covering how to think about tool selection, data handling, and the emissions and risk tied to everyday AI use. From there, the conversation turns outward: how to avoid greenhushing, and how to make sure your sustainability story holds up as AI becomes how more people find and evaluate companies. The speakers include: Ideas On Purpose‘s very own co-founder Michelle M. Marks, Emily May Neville from Greenplaces and Vrushali Sawant from SAS.
It’s free, virtual, and open to anyone ready to turn climate ideas into action.
🗓️ Date/Time: Monday, September 28 | 1:30pm–2:30pm ET🔗Register: https://luma.com/u8ocjdvu
