Economist Impact and Infosys have jointly launched The Sustainability Atlas, an AI-powered tool designed to assist businesses in navigating the complexities of achieving a sustainable future. Leveraging Infosys Topaz, an AI-first suite incorporating generative AI technologies, the Atlas provides business leaders and policymakers with crucial sustainability-focused insights to inform decisions that drive meaningful climate action.
The Sustainability Atlas aims to simplify access to comprehensive sustainability information by providing clear and concise answers to sustainability-related inquiries. By drawing upon the extensive data and analysis from 18 Economist Impact indices, encompassing over 1700 indicators, and 500 reports and articles, the Atlas offers an efficient way to gain a holistic understanding of the global sustainability landscape across different regions.
The Sustainability Atlas is equipped with several key features designed to empower business leaders and policymakers:
Jonathan Birdwell, Global Head of Policy & Insights at Economist Impact, highlighted the tool's unique value: "Over the past decade, Economist Impact has built dozens of indices and published hundreds of reports across a wide range of sustainability topics from food security to plastics management, to climate resilience. But never before have we been able to bring all of that data and insights together in one place. Leveraging Infosys' generative AI capabilities, The Sustainability Atlas provides easily accessible and actionable insights to policy makers and business leaders worldwide."
Ashiss Kumar Dash, EVP & Global Head - Services, Utilities, Resources, Energy and Enterprise Sustainability at Infosys, emphasized the Atlas's strategic importance: "The Sustainability Atlas, powered by Infosys Topaz, is not just a tool to help businesses navigate today's environmental challenges; but a strategic portal that can inform and effectively shape future sustainability efforts. Imagine a world where predictive analytics, fuelled by rich data within the Atlas, anticipate emerging environmental risks – from localized climate anomalies to global supply chain vulnerabilities. We envision the Atlas evolving into a global intelligence network, guiding collaborative action towards a future where sustainability is an inherent part of our collective intelligence and actions, ultimately helping to build a thriving, resilient world."
