AI is bringing real benefits to businesses of every size. But as organisations increasingly adopt AI tools without treating them as suppliers, the environmental and ethical consequences that come with them can easily slip under the radar.

In this Lunch and Learn, Andy, Omar and Laura will explore three key areas: the human rights questions within AI’s supply chain, the environmental footprint of building and running these systems, and the governance gaps that can turn an AI mistake into a company mistake. They’ll also share practical steps organisations can take to address these challenges, whatever the size of their team.

This session will be particularly useful for B Corps, given the recent changes to certification standards and how they relate to AI.

This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s an open conversation, with Andy, Omar and Laura sharing what has worked, what hasn’t, and what they’re still figuring out themselves, with plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion.

Who it’s for: Any organisation using or considering using AI tools, particularly B Corps and purpose-led businesses. No technical background is needed.
