Here, Eric talks about the wonderful opportunity for CXOs to take a leadership position in digital and technology decarbonisation as part of achieving their net-zero commitments.
This matters. If you have committed your organisation to a net-zero target then you will be unable to achieve it without tackling the carbon costs associated with your use of technology.
We live in a digital world. But we also live in a world in crisis. Every business in every sector will use technology in some form to create the amazing products, services, and capabilities they offer to their customers. Every business has a role to play, whether small or big, to contribute toward action. By implication all CXOs are needed to take a leadership position to help drive a change in the way businesses are run, the choices they make, and the culture they build within their organisations.
