Session: Data for Impact: How better data can lead to better business and a better planet
According to the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2022, some of the world’s top risks for 2022 are unsurprisingly climate action failure, extreme weather conditions, biodiversity, and social cohesion erosion. At the state we are in, the cost of inaction far outweighs the cost of action having a positive impact. It’s time for businesses to move faster in the right direction.
In this talk, Maria Svantemark, CEO and co-founder of SaaS sustainability management software SustainLab, will speak about data for impact: how better data can lead to better business, and a better planet. One of the biggest blockers of impactful change is data: infrequent, inaccurate, manually-handled data. When you have increased frequency and accuracy of data, you will be better equipped with knowledge of your companies’ impact, risks, and opportunities, which will help you make the right decisions that actually make change, for your business and for the planet.
Maria will also cover key topics such as: what is sustainability impact? How do you know what impact your company has, and how do you measure it? How do you ensure you’re on the right side of history with your business? How do you use your data to accelerate change and future-proof your business?
