The majority of investors now rely on AI-driven third-party solutions for ESG management, underscoring AI's central role in navigating sustainability complexities. How AI is Changing ESG: 💡 AI can break down the complexity of ESG data, providing actionable insights that lead to more effective decision-making. 🔜 AI enables the development of sustainability-linked financial products like green bonds and ESG-focused #ETFs, unlocking new avenues for responsible investments. 🌳 AI is already being used to reduce energy usage, improve waste management, and even forecast air quality issues in urban environments. While AI's potential in ESG is immense, it must be deployed responsibly. Ensuring that AI is energy-efficient and free from biases is critical to truly realizing its promise in advancing #sustainable #finance.
