Integrating sustainability strategies into digital transformation roadmaps

The critical role CIOs play to advance company sustainability goals

Sustainability is an issue that transcends businesses and their bottom lines. As we continue to see the impact of climate change and a plethora of environmental issues across the globe, organizations are forced to take a hard look inward to see how they may be negatively impacting the environment without even realizing it.

All of us are left to ask ourselves questions like: How do we ensure that true sustainability lives at the core of the products, platforms and experiences we create, and not just in the outcomes we aim to drive? 

The emphasis on corporate social responsibility (CSR) will only continue to gain momentum, and according to research, 82% of CIOs believe that their organization has a moral obligation to take a stand on societal concerns.

As sustainability and digital transformation continue to gain prime placement on business’ agendas, both domains should be seen as inseparable growth drivers; two un-siloed goals that complement one another. For companies to build a resilient business, they must integrate sustainability strategies into their digital transformation roadmaps.
