Less Routine Work, More Value from Sustainability Data.
Artificial intelligence offers SMEs new opportunities to make sustainability management more efficient. It can be used to collect and analyze sustainability data, identify areas for improvement, and simplify sustainability reporting and communications. When used effectively, AI saves time and helps companies use sustainability information to support business management.
Käkikuu's practical training teaches participants how to use AI at different stages of their company's sustainability work. No previous AI expertise or expensive software investments are required. We focus on tools and approaches that can be applied in everyday SME operations.
What Can AI Do in Sustainability Management?
AI can be particularly useful for tasks involving large amounts of data, combining information from different sources or preparing documents.
The training explores practical applications of AI in the following areas:
- Collecting sustainability data: Organizing energy consumption, procurement, employee information and other sustainability data.
- Data analysis: Identifying trends, deviations and potential areas for improvement.
- Sustainability reporting: Structuring information according to the new EU Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard and preparing sustainability reports.
- Sustainability planning: Supporting the identification of material sustainability issues, target setting and action planning.
- Sustainability communications: Preparing customer communications, website content and other communication materials based on reliable information.
The training also addresses the limitations of AI. Particular attention is paid to the reliability of source data, the accuracy of calculation results, data security and how to avoid unsubstantiated sustainability claims.
How Will Your Company Benefit from the Training?
The aim of using AI is to make sustainability management more efficient and better aligned with business needs.
The training can help your company:
- Reduce the time spent processing sustainability data and preparing reports.
- Make more effective use of existing information.
- Respond more easily to sustainability information requests from customers and business partners.
- Improve the monitoring of sustainability performance and the use of sustainability data in decision-making.
- Identify risks associated with AI use and avoid reporting based on inaccurate information.
The objective of the training is to enable participants to use AI independently in practical sustainability management tasks and recognize situations where verified source data or expert assessment is required.
Training Options for Businesses
The training can be delivered to individual companies or groups of companies. The content is tailored to the participants' level of expertise, industry and current stage of sustainability management.
Expert Lecture – 1–1.5 Hours
A concise introduction to the opportunities and limitations of AI in SME sustainability management. Practical examples of data collection, analysis and reporting.
Practical Workshop – 3 Hours
An interactive training session introducing participants to AI tools, with hands-on exercises in processing sustainability data, preparing sustainability reports and evaluating AI-generated results.
In-Depth Business Training – 2 × 3 Hours
Company-specific training focused on applying AI to the company's own sustainability management needs. The aim is to develop practical approaches that the company can continue to use independently after the training.
AI Supports Sustainability Management – Responsibility Remains with the Company
AI can process information and produce convincing text, but it does not automatically ensure the accuracy of the information. For example, calculating a company's carbon footprint requires reliable source data, appropriate calculation methods and suitable emission factors.
Käkikuu's training combines expertise in sustainability management with the practical application of AI. The aim is to enable companies to use new tools effectively without compromising the reliability of their sustainability information.
