Digital technologies are the electronic tools, devices, systems and resources that generate, store or process data. This includes the business systems (e.g. ERP and GRC solutions) and technologies such as robotics, Internet of Things (IoT) and drones. These technologies are at the heart of most organisations and play a central role in driving ESG initiatives and providing the required reporting solutions.
Digital technologies are already being used across the Middle East as part of environmental initiatives, including drones and robotics to improve efficiency, reduce waste and provide less carbon-intensive means of environmental management.
While technologies such as robotics or Artificial Intelligence can enable the improvement of environmental impact, they can also cause detrimental social impact such as job displacement or bias. This highlights the importance of applying a holistic approach to Digital Technology and ESG.
