Event: How can tech enable the ESG agenda?

Imagine being able to effectively measure the contribution to a balanced ESG agenda in your organisation, where you collect and leverage new and existing data in a strategic way? What if you knew how technologies could be featured in innovative business models to make an environmental difference and push diversity and inclusion in the business sphere?

The opportunities provided by technology and increasingly larger data foundations have further challenged the measures that organisations use to report on their ESG goals - It can help move you from vague statements to implementing concrete initiatives.

KPMG and our NewTech Service Line are happy to invite you to our bi-annual Tech Harbour event where you can join our office in Nordhavn for some great food (vegan/dietary options) and drinks while hearing about the opportunity’s technology can provide for your ESG agenda. Furthermore, there will be opportunities to discuss and network with like-minded peers on technology, ESG and everything in-between.

We will hear how Novo Nordisk have implemented concrete ways to measure and drive the ESG agenda as well as implemented strategic efforts to help sustain them. Moreover, we will hear from Denominator who offer the largest standardized dataset on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion as well as from Reel Energy who offer organisations an easy and responsible way to reduce carbon emissions.
