Environmental, Social, and Governance Policies

Why ESG?

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is about striving to find balance between economic results, social interests, and the environment. This is extremely important to us as team, our attendees, as well as to our industry.

Applied Intelligence Live!, previously The AI Summit & IoT World Austin, want to use our platform to help our guests achieve their own ESG goals - connecting people with the networks and knowledge they need to make change.

Bringing everyone together in Austin provides opportunities to not only work with our venue and suppliers to improve the impact of our event, but to weave ESG into the fabric of our content and features.

How does IoT & AI feed into ESG?

The intersections of technology and sustainability are key focus areas for businesses around the world, billed as Forbes’ biggest business trends for 2022-2025, and according to WEF around 84% of AI & IoT deployments are addressing or have the potential to address UN sustainability Goals.

ESG is no longer a nice to have, but a need. Investors, employees, and customers are requiring companies to improve their practices and be transparent and accountable about their business decisions including DEI, CSR & green practices. The IoT & AI industries sit at an integral point as these technologies possess the power to help deliver ESG if the people behind the tech are integrating ESG into their businesses. We all have the power to make the world a better place!
