Australian CIOs face an unprecedented challenge to cut data-based carbon emissions Original
Far-reaching compliance reform has now been passed in Australia, forcing many ASX listed companies to report for the first time on the carbon emissions generated across their entire value chains. Referred to as the Treasury Laws Amendment (Financial Market Infrastructure and Other Measures) Bill 2024, this amendment to the Corporations Act might seem innocuous at first glance.

GUST OPINION: As we paused to observe another Earth Day, it is sobering to consider that for all the benefits of artificial intelligence, one of its side effects is its impact on the environment, not only from the amount of energy and water it requires but also the level of e-waste it is contributing to.

The data behind the drive for gender equality in technology Original
This Friday is the 49th International Women's Day (IWD). As a female leader of the Australian and New Zealand division of a global technology, I can vouch for the importance of IWD as an annual reminder for us all to review and reset where we are on not only women's participation in traditionally male industry such as IT, and where Australia stands around Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) in general. IWD is not window dressing.

Data management is the emissions safeguard we can all get behind
We know this because a recent investigation by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) into sustainability claims made by 250 businesses found “57 per cent of the businesses made sustainability claims that raised greenwashing concerns”. Clearly, many companies remain in the dark about how to start reducing emissions. One solution lies in how they manage their company crown jewels – their data.
Data management is the emissions safeguard we can all get behind
Federal government reforms to the “safeguard mechanism” to restrict the carbon emissions of Australia’s top 215 polluters should come as a wake-up call for all major industries, not just the fossil fuel and related sectors. This is because the safeguard mechanism is just the latest example of a clear trend in Australia and around the world – governments, regulators, and crucially, investor bodies are looking very closely at how directors and senior management account for their emissions.
