Leading Sustainability with Data and AI

Organisations face increasing pressure from their stakeholders to develop a sustainability strategy. This subject provides students with a foundation in sustainability, addressing what it is, its different components and why an organisation’s long-term viability requires incorporating sustainability into its strategy. The subject emphasises an evidence-based perspective by applying data analytics and artificial intelligence tools to improve decision-making on sustainability issues. Understanding how data analytics and AI can shed light on sustainability challenges helps students move from advocacy-based perspectives in popular media to bringing an evidence-based perspective to this critical societal and managerial issue.
