Unlocking the Future of Sustainability Performance
The Sustainability Compass is the breakthrough tool for leaders who want to move beyond reporting and turn sustainability into real strategic value.
Unlike traditional ESG ratings, it doesn’t stop at compliance—it reveals how sustainability is embedded (or missing) in core business decisions, and how that links directly to growth, risk, and value creation. Built on the Seven Principles of a Sustainable Company and refined with top executives worldwide, the Compass offers clear diagnostics, actionable insights, and a roadmap for transformation. The initial version of this work was proudly sponsored by CEDEP, ensuring its foundations are rooted in world-class executive education and practical boardroom impact.

“It is estimated that powering AI algorithms will require between 1,000 to 5,000 terawatt-hours of electricity annually, equivalent to the energy consumption of countries like Japan or the United States. Cooling these data centers will consume vast amounts of water—up to 6.6 billion cubic meters. For every 5-10 responses from your favorite GenAI tool, roughly 500ml of water is used. The construction of new data centers will also convert natural spaces into artificial ones, impacting biodiversity on a large scale. While the environmental impact of AI raises concerns, it also holds the potential for positive change. AI can contribute to a more sustainable future, not just by automating tasks but by creating solutions that benefit the environment, as well as our physical and mental health. Together, we can harness AI’s power to foster a more sustainable world.”

Next Class: AI & Sustainability, navigating complexity with intelligence, October 2026, Singapore
Vela Intelligence was built to solve a growing problem: critical decisions are still trapped inside documents. Whether in investing, governance, regulation, or strategy, leaders are expected to make high-stakes calls based on hundreds of pages of filings, reports, contracts, and disclosures. Vela converts that unstructured complexity into clear, decision-ready intelligence.
Vela is an Evidence-to-Decision Intelligence platform designed for environments where traceability, consistency, and trust matter. Rather than relying on fragile autonomous AI agents, it uses controlled workflows that extract evidence, assess it against structured dimensions, and generate outputs that can be audited and explained. Every finding is linked to source material. Every conclusion follows a clear logic. This makes Vela not just faster, but more reliable in real-world decision processes.
Its value lies in helping investors, boards, executives, and regulators move from information overload to disciplined judgment. Vela Intelligence Platform supports due diligence, investment committee preparation, governance reviews, sustainability analysis, and regulatory-facing assessments by turning messy documentation into structured insight. In a market crowded with AI promises, Vela stands for something more practical: reproducible intelligence that helps people make better decisions.
”ESG in the Age of AI” a book project authored by Ann Molin where I am grateful to participate in writing the two opening chapters.
From Harvard to the University of Tokyo, from AI and food security to finance, cybersecurity, governance, and youth leadership — this book brings together perspectives from those shaping our future as we speak.
The book, published by Packt Publishing, will be a hands-on guide for leaders who are navigating a new terrain of @ESG and AI are not only present - but an integrated part of everyday work and life.
