Episode notes

The next frontier for innovation is sustainable computing! When we reflect on 2023 priority areas, advancing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) impact is increasingly centre stage, especially with the resonance that investment here creates shared value benefits for business and societal innovation. So how can we move beyond rising consciousness and transparency around ESG, to accountability on results that is measurable, comparable and scalable too?

In this special feature, I am delighted to be joined by the brilliant Nicola Peill-Moelter, Director of Sustainability Innovation at VMware, which sits in the Office of the CTO. We focus on the role of technology leadership and all things actualisation when it comes Sustainability, covering areas including sustainable computing through workload energy and carbon efficiency, the 2030 Agenda and decarbonisation of digital infrastructures, the critical role of developers, supported by sustainability dashboard innovation, and the power of partnership and ecosystem collaboration for change.

We also share a range of examples, advice and resources ranging from the Zero Carbon Committed (ZCC) public-cloud partner initiative right through to holistic STEAM skills development, inclusion in the tech sector and ‘moving the dial’ on ESG measurement – look out for some exclusive news! And all the assets discussed can be found in the show notes - all feedback and follow on questions are most welcome.
