📅 Live Masterclass

Companies are investing heavily in both AI and sustainability. Yet too often, the two agendas remain disconnected.

AI is pursued for productivity and efficiency. Sustainability is still frequently managed through reporting, targets and compliance. But some of the most important opportunities for durable business value sit at the intersection of the two.

Energy and material costs. Supply-chain resilience. Product design. Resource productivity. Risk. Capital allocation. New sources of growth.

The question is no longer simply “What can AI automate?” or “How do we improve our sustainability performance?”

It is:

How can we use both to make better business decisions and create profitable, resilient growth?

This live masterclass explores how leaders can bring together AI, sustainability and business value — moving beyond compliance and isolated AI productivity gains to identify where meaningful economic value can actually be created.

In this masterclass, you will:

✅ Explore where durable value actually comes from — looking beyond short-term efficiency to productivity, resilience, resource efficiency, risk reduction, innovation and growth.

✅ See how AI can unlock a second return from sustainability data — turning information already collected on energy, emissions, materials, suppliers and operations into inputs for better decisions.

✅ Examine where the money actually sits — through practical examples involving energy, materials, supply chains and other areas where sustainability performance can directly affect business performance.

✅ Learn how to identify better AI use cases — starting with the business decision or problem to solve, rather than with the technology.

✅ Understand where human judgement still matters — because AI can surface patterns, options and trade-offs, but leaders still need to decide what creates value, for whom, and over what time horizon.

Why join?

This masterclass is designed for leaders across finance, operations, strategy, sustainability, innovation and general management who are asking how AI and sustainability can contribute more directly to business performance.

You will leave with a clearer understanding of:

• How AI and sustainability can reinforce each other as drivers of value creation

• Where to look for financially meaningful opportunities inside your organisation

• How to move sustainability information from reporting data to decision intelligence

• How to distinguish interesting AI experiments from use cases capable of creating real business value

A preview of the SMU AI × Sustainability Decision Lab

The masterclass also offers a preview of the ideas and practical frameworks explored in Applying AI to Sustainability: From Compliance to Value Creation, the two-day executive decision lab taking place at Singapore Management University on 29–30 October 2026.

The programme goes further by asking participants to bring a real challenge from their organisation, identify AI × sustainability opportunities, build and test a working AI prototype, and translate their ideas into a practical 90-day execution plan.
