The Importance of Sustainability: Helping Society through Work with Clients and Non-Profit Organizations

Date/Time: February 22, 2022 (12-1PM ET / 9-10AM PT)

As global societal and market pressures drive clean energy usage, decarbonization, and broader sustainability initiatives, there is great power in science, technology, innovation, and people to help communities tackle environmental issues.

All sectors will need the best possible minds on the job, with diverse experiences and backgrounds to accelerate decarbonization of the global energy system in a way that works for all communities. This requires a workforce that is well-trained in digital technologies, sustainability-focused client engagements, and dedicated corporate programs that will accelerate the deployment and adoption of required technologies.

Learn from IBM experts about how their work aims to drive social impact and accelerate sustainability outcomes – through client examples from IBM Consulting and IBM Technology and through programs such as the IBM Sustainability Accelerator.

(The IBM Sustainability Accelerator is a pro bono social impact program that applies IBM expertise and technologies, such as hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence, to enhance and scale non-profit and governmental organizations, leveraging IBM’s ecosystem. This initiative helps new organizations each year, during a two-year engagement at no cost.)
