Making Sense of AI in 2026

An exclusive webinar series for BSR members

Our Events

AI is advancing rapidly, with new models, tools, and applications reshaping how companies operate and compete. What began as an emerging technology is now being embedded across core business functions, from product design and supply chain management to decision-making and customer engagement. As AI becomes more deeply integrated into business systems, its sustainability-related impacts are growing in both scale and significance.

Alongside the many benefits of AI, there are also a range of environmental and social impacts including energy and resource use, implications for workers and working conditions, challenges related to data governance and transparency, and questions of accountability. For sustainability leaders, the focus is no longer on whether AI will have sustainability implications, but whether existing governance, risk management, and oversight frameworks are adequate for a business environment increasingly shaped by AI.

This three-part webinar series will help you navigate this rapidly evolving landscape. The first webinar will examine emerging forms of AI, business use cases, and the evolving policy and regulatory context, alongside the growing expectations for responsible deployment. The second and third webinars will explore the environmental and social dimensions of AI in greater depth, highlighting practical steps companies can take to anticipate risks, strengthen governance, and align development and use of AI with long-term sustainability goals. 

Join this series to emerge with a clearer, more strategic understanding of how AI is reshaping sustainability, and what companies need to do now to lead responsibly as we move into 2026.
