Decarbonization
Harnessing the power of data governance, digital finance, AI, and IoT to deliver products that integrate ESG into investment and business decisions. One solution is to divest portfolios by exercising policy influence and changing overall risk and return. Asset managers are already making a significant shift in their investment priorities by getting out of businesses that lack long-term value by concealing their decarbonization activities.
With recyclable cards, loyalty points for a low-carbon lifestyle, and green bonds for investment banking, the adoption of green practices will lead to the transition to net zero.

- Banks are evaluating climate impact based on short- and long-term risk strategies. Based on the data captured, simulations are run based on different configurations to compensate for losses and achieve decarbonization.
- Recognizing climate change as a global security priority
Cloud Migration
Financial institutions worldwide are implementing cloud service offerings with value-added service options. The implementation solely depends on the level of automation and technology to deliver high-end coverage with cloud services.
Data centers require maximum energy, and organizations are looking to reduce power costs tied to CPU consumption, cooling to ambient temperatures, and consolidating storage.
FIs may be able to further sustainability aims by adopting a digital strategy. Banks can benefit from several different FinTech services in addition to advancing AI-based techniques. With digital banking solutions, reduced paper/plastic usage and reduced travel will help reduce footprint and increase accessibility.
