How can organizations meet ambitious sustainability goals while leveraging the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI) — without creating new environmental risks? This is the central question addressed in the latest Thought Leadership report by PMI: „Sustainability in the Age of AI – The Integration Imperative“.
Why this topic matters now:
Organizations face a dual imperative: Sustainability is business-critical — 93% of executives recognize its importance — yet only 37% have integrated it into core operations. At the same time, AI is advancing rapidly, offering opportunities to optimize efficiency, reduce emissions, and identify sustainability risks across global supply chains. But AI also demands vast resources: the energy consumption of AI systems is rising sharply — a single ChatGPT query, for example, requires many times more energy than a conventional Google search.
