AI IN SUSTAINABILITY what the job looks like. Suddenly the sustainability manager isn’ t chasing down last month’ s utility bills. They’ re flagging inefficiencies, focusing on action and having conversations with the COO and CFO about real projects and real savings. That’ s a much better use of everyone’ s time – and an enduring benefit.
Q. WHAT DOES CONTINUOUS, AUDIT-READY REPORTING LOOK LIKE IN PRACTICE AND HOW DOES AI ENABLE THAT LEVEL OF STANDARDISATION AND RELIABILITY?

» Ted: Audit-ready reporting means your data has a clear chain of custody. You know where every number came from, how it was processed and you can trace it back to its source. AI makes that possible at scale by automating the ingestion and normalisation steps in a consistent, documented way, rather than relying on someone doing it manually in a spreadsheet each quarter.
