Artificial intelligence is reshaping sustainable business from two directions at once. Sustainability professionals are navigating AI as both a force multiplier for impact and a fast-growing environmental challenge to manage.
At Trellis Impact 26, the AI x Sustainability Program examined how artificial intelligence is transforming how companies measure emissions, automate reporting, mitigate environmental risk, and drive real-world climate outcomes. Rather than a standalone track, it functioned as a lens applied across the entire event through three distinct program elements.
The AI x Sustainability Showcase featured a series of fast-paced presentations highlighting the tools, technologies and solutions organizations are deploying to accelerate climate impact. Sessions included practitioner case studies, technology demonstrations and emerging solution pitches from across the sustainability ecosystem.
