Artificial Intelligence presents one of the largest opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises in the decade ahead. Whether it’s supply chain optimisation, carbon reduction, demand forecasting, customer service automation or data-driven sustainability reporting, AI has the potential to accelerate growth while delivering measurable social and environmental impact.
However, AI also carries risks if poorly designed or adopted. From biased recruitment tools to high-energy AI models, misinformation, or labour disruption without upskilling, AI can undermine the same Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) it has the power to advance.
This two-hour interactive session will give SMEs:
- A clear roadmap to adopt AI tools that reduce waste, carbon and cost
- Practical ways to support fair work, equality, transparency and ethical decision-making
- The ability to assess environmental and social risks before investing in AI solutions
- A hands-on template to design a balanced and responsible AI micro-pilot
Participants will leave with actionable steps, tools, and confidence to drive innovation and sustainability simultaneously. Whether you are new to AI or looking to scale your digital strategy, this event will help you grow responsibly and stay ahead of evolving ESG and procurement requirements.
