IBM
“ It ’ s fundamental to everyone ' s likelihood that we address this ”
ADAM THOMPSON HEAD OF GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE FINANCE AND ESG , IBM CONSULTING
Net zero and the 2030 agenda Indeed , Thompson , who sees his position more as a vocation than a career , does not describe sustainable finance and ESG merely as trends . “ This is a movement – a global , worldwide movement . This is not just about how to apply technology across services . This is really about how we , as one planet and as one society , ensure that we have a planet for the next generation .”
They are powerful words – but ones he stands by . “ We need to consider how , in 10 , 20 years down the line , the next generation is going to be able to balance their resources . We are on a tightrope , and what ’ s interesting is that FinTech startups are really beginning to look at nature-based solutions , and these solutions have had incredible exponential growth in a short amount of time by embracing exactly the very solutions that IBM has been speaking about .”
