Generative AI for Business Sustainability: Responsible AI to Accelerate Sustainable Development

Generative AI (Gen AI) offers businesses a powerful way to accelerate sustainable development — but only when adopted responsibly. According to recent surveys, 97% of executives believe Gen AI will transform their industry and play a major role in strategy over the next three to five years. By providing hyper-specific, tailored information, accelerating cross-disciplinary innovation, and lifting productivity, Gen AI can help companies overcome the converging headwinds and complex problems that slow down sustainable development.

Join the UN Global Compact and Accenture for a 60-minute briefing on how to leverage Gen AI for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Speakers will showcase practical business use cases — from operational efficiency and sustainable supply chains to innovation and sustainability reporting — and outline governance guardrails to reduce social and environmental risks. Participants will leave with concrete next steps and resources to start or scale Gen AI projects aligned with corporate sustainability commitments.
