Increasingly, ESG (environment, social, and governance) compliance initiatives are becoming commonplace across the developed world. Sustainability has emerged as a critical business goal, with organizations recognizing the importance of measuring and minimizing their environmental footprint while maximizing their positive impact for all stake holders. Google has released Google Earth Engine, to help commercial organizations unlock enormous archives of environmental data so that they can model, replay, and monitor changes in the surface of the Earth at any scale – forests, oceans, global supply chains – to help business quantify the impact these Earth changes may have on their business… and vice versa.
Topics planned to cover:
• The state of ESG and sustainability initiatives in enterprise organizations.
• The challenges of and positive impacts of ESG initiatives on enterprises – expected and actual outcomes.
• Introduction to Google Earth Engine and use cases in business.
• How NGIS and SADA enable organizations in their regions to take full advantage of the capabilities available in Google Earth Engine.
