Sustainability has become a key part of the CTO’s job description. CTOs should ensure that their charter and responsibilities involve driving sustainability innovations through technology.
In 2023, a lot of sustainability investment was focused around carbon footprint. Future sustainability requirements will extend to a wider range of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. This will impact technology strategy and business strategy.
Architecture teams need to add ESG impact in their high level solution assessment and discovery work.
This space is going to be more complex due to the pace of AI solutions being introduced in the business and the impact these solutions will have on social and governance aspects of sustainability.
