At our July Spotlight Series Event, Annabell Chartres and Vincent Heeringa discussed how technology can be used for good.
With the World Economic Forum predicting that digital technology has the potential to reduce global emissions by 15%, adding that “Connectivity will be a key enabler for many, if not most, exponential climate solutions” how do New Zealand businesses use this to their advantage?
During this conversation Annabell and Vincent explored ideas and examples of how businesses are using technology to push towards becoming more sustainable.
