AI/R Commits to Net-Zero Carbon by 2040 via The Climate Pledge
Event summary

The big picture

The move reflects broader industry trends where sustainability is becoming a competitive differentiator, not just a regulatory requirement. With carbon neutrality already achieved in direct emissions, AI/R’s next challenge is extending these practices across its entire value chain.
