AI IN SUSTAINABILITY
As Giovanni explains, technology – especially AI and data-intensive digital services – has grown increasingly energyhungry.“ Our partnerships are designed to ensure the expansion of digital capabilities happens in a sustainable way, whether that means using renewable energy for data centres or tracking carbon footprints for ourselves and customers,” Giovanni says.
Faith notes that just a few years ago, alliances at this scale did not exist for the company. Building those relationships now means being able to develop and deliver sustainability solutions globally.“ We have an incredible legacy of expertise, and now we can actually develop solutions on a global scale,” Faith says.
Within three years, Kyndryl gained certifications and sustainability recognition from tech giants such as Google and built credibility with major ecosystem players.“ We’ ve quickly established our reputation for both commitment and capability,” Giovanni says.
