Second, we drive social impact through initiatives such as the IBM Sustainability Accelerator, which uses AI and hybrid cloud to address climate challenges in vulnerable communities. Finally, our consulting and technology expertise helps businesses turn data into actionable insights, enabling them to scale their sustainability efforts. Through strategic use of technology, IBM is working toward an equitable and sustainable future.
