Laying the Foundation: Digital Infrastructure for AI-driven Decarbonisation in Global Value Chains

Synopsis: 

Global industry organisations increasingly scale the use of data and AI to enhance sustainability and resilience across their global value chains. While there is untapped potential to harness data from the built environment and manufacturing sector, governance and interoperability frameworks are key to scaling impact without undermining trust, control, and economic incentives.

We witness a shift in carbon accounting for Scope 3 emissions from corporate-level reporting to more granular, product-level carbon footprint. In parallel, companies are likely to move from enterprise-wide data exchanges to more precise, machine-level data flows. What implications and opportunities does this present for how we build and govern digital infrastructure?

Participants on this panel define the challenges industry faces and outline the contours of emerging partnerships and initiatives to enhance data quality, trust, and scalability needed for a future world of AI-driven decision-making and compliance.
