We’ve had some great feedback from our recent webinar as part of Leeds Digital Festival. Karen Crutchley, Craig Burman and Sophie Brazier discussed how technologies can help automate ESG compliance, whilst being wary of risks such as inadvertent greenwashing. We’ve highlighted some key takeaways below but in general - be ready, do your due diligence, have clear policies, and be reassured with the right advice along the way (we’re here to help!) Technology moves quickly 🌐 Do you think AI could replace part of your job in the next 5 years? 💡 96% of the respondents in our poll thought that at least 25% of their role could be. If you would like to speak to our commercial team on the risks of technologies whilst staying compliant, get in touch. #Leedsdigitalfestival #technology #AI #dataprotection #commerciallaw #legaladvice
