LONDON, UK, Oct. 26, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Extending technological advantages to all parts of society is important for social and environmental stability.
This is especially true for low-income people, says the new report, How Sustainable is the Technology Sector? Part two, from international thought leadership consultancy iResearch Services.
Alexandra Nicholson, senior director of social media and impact at Pegasystems (Pega), an artificial intelligence software maker, comments: “Sometimes it’s not about selling software. Sometimes it’s about activating coding skills in a community that really needs it. Letting people see their work stand out from your ESG efforts is really important from a business perspective. »
Awareness of what sustainability means in every sense is key – across the tech industry and beyond. But awareness is often only at the surface level.
“I call it people who are ‘Google smart’,” adds Alex, “Everyone has Google, has a sense of sustainability issues. But nobody really understands energy management, carbon mitigation They don’t understand the societal components of sustainability.
The report features insights from sustainability experts, consultants, technology leaders and policy makers on key challenges and opportunities.
It follows How sustainable is the tech sector? Part One, which surveys 550 technology executives in 11 countries.
Having a formal commitment is an important starting point for promoting diversity and inclusion within a company. Research by iResearch Services found that the UK, Japan and Germany are leading the way, with more than half of organizations surveyed having a formal commitment in place. Among the countries surveyed, France (35%) and China (36%) come last.
One in eight (12%) U.S. organizations say they have no plan to create a diversity and inclusion program. This is a higher proportion than in the other countries studied.
Tech companies cite cost (39%), time constraints (38%) and speed of initiatives (34%) as the biggest challenges to addressing accessibility, diversity and inclusion in their organizations.
