Tom Fox is joined by Jed Yueh, founder and CEO of Delphix. They discuss his newest passion project with SustainableIT.org and their mission to advance global sustainability through technology and leadership. 

The Work of SustainableIT.org 

Many people believe that sustainability is somebody else's problem to solve, but Jed makes it clear that we cannot keep thinking that way if we want to make a difference. At SustainableIT.org, they collaborate with esteemed technology leaders to drive sustainability forward across the world’s largest organizations. 

The Link Between Technology and ESG 

Jed tells Tom that companies must “take a hard look at how you govern technology programs so that they don’t have adverse impacts on society and the environment.” Most companies view ESG as something in-demand, and so they independently chart the course they will take on ESG initiatives. At SustainableIT.org, they create and identify the best programs that can actually digitize the way a business functions while decreasing its carbon footprint. 

Making an Impact

Facilitating change is not about one technology company being pro-environment. Jed names a number of SustainableIT.org’s board members, explaining how many of these great technologists work for some of the world’s biggest companies. “That’s how we can have the biggest impact,” he says.
