How technology can boost sustainability and fuel  innovation

Deloitte’s Jamie Sawchuk on why it’s possible to balance sustainability with growth and innovation

In this episode, Deloitte Canada partner Jamie Sawchuk—a leader on sustainability and climate change—discusses why he thinks that mitigating climate change and pursuing corporate sustainability efforts don’t have to be at odds with business growth and innovation. Why? Jamie thinks it’s because next-gen tech solutions like Generative AI, coupled with community sustainability initiatives, can both mitigate the effects of climate change and drive the innovation that powers long-term growth.

While some might feel we're faced with a no-win choice – save the planet or drive growth and opportunity – I don't see it that way. I believe we can create sustainability and economic opportunity. I'm optimistic about the future.

Jamie Sawchuk is a partner with Deloitte Canada, and he is the Global Alphabet Google sustainability leader. Jamie works with clients to help them leverage technology to promote sustainability and resiliency, mitigate climate risk, and drive business growth through innovative, sustainable solutions.

Empowering employees in sustainability

Mitigating the impacts of climate change starts at the individual level. By supporting sustainability initiatives within their walls, organizations can encourage positive climate choices.

The vital role cloud can play in promoting sustainability

It’s no secret that stakeholder expectations on sustainability are changing. Organizations are making it a top priority to develop business sustainability strategies that optimize investment, capture value, and drive accountability.
