Climate Tech & Data: Are Businesses Measuring Sustainability or Just Marketing It?

Sustainability has become a business imperative—but is it driving real change, or is it just another PR exercise?

In this episode of Tech Talks, David Savage is joined by Sammi Gower (Pollen Advisory), Tanishq Jain (Dash), and Louis Millon (Systemiq Capital) to discuss how climate tech and data are shaping the green economy.

They explore the role of AI, data, and regulation in sustainability, questioning whether businesses are truly innovating or simply adapting their reporting to meet expectations.

From startups pioneering climate solutions to investors backing the future of sustainable tech, we get an inside look at how companies are leveraging technology to make environmental responsibility profitable.Are businesses using sustainability data to drive real impact, or are they just getting better at talking about it?
