PLEASE NOTE EVENT LOCATION HAS CHANGED.
Please join us for our next Digital Irish event at 30 Irving Place (Quad.com, SE Corner of 16th – event space on ground floor) New York, NY 10003, on Wednesday May 3rd from 6:00pm, where we’ll host Mike Hanrahan of Sustain.Life, Sabina Munnelly of Baringa, and Rael McNally of Blackrock.
Hosted by Digital Irish board member, Sarah Clarke, we’ll discuss Climate Analytics – a vital tool in the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) framework as it enables businesses to measure and track their environmental impact accurately. By analyzing data on carbon emissions, energy usage, and other environmental factors, climate analytics allows businesses to understand their carbon footprint and identify areas for improvement.
This information is crucial in setting and achieving environmental sustainability goals, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and mitigating climate change risks. Additionally, climate analytics provides transparency to investors and stakeholders by offering insights into a company’s environmental performance, which is a critical aspect of ESG investing.
Therefore, climate analytics plays a crucial role in ESG and is increasingly becoming a top priority for businesses that want to create a sustainable future.
