Reflecting on techUK Tech and NetZero conference on Wednesday, where Eric Zie from our start-up GoCodeGreen | B Corp™ hosted an engaging and insightful breakout session on 'the techUK net zero plan for tech firms'. I loved the fact that the first panel was all female led discussing 'the role of digital tech in delivering net zero and growth' which was extremely interesting and the panel on 'the climate and AI challenges' was highly engaging. Overall a plethora of great sessions covering a wide spectrum of topics, some of them falling into the 'energy consumption of data centre' conundrum when there are so many other ways in which digitisation will help to accelerate the green transition, including just making what we have so much more efficient... all in all very inspiring, thanks to techUK!

I can only apologise if I talked too much.. but it was only because it was a good discussion and I care.. A productive day at FinTech-Tables #FTClimate event yesterday, thanks to Zühlke Group, Linda Scott for bringing me along and to Ian Davey and team for a packed agenda. Some great conversations with some new faces like Matthew Waldron and Kirstie Ross and some equally good chats with some more familiar faces Kelly Williams and Julia (Jules) Salmond. Not 100% sure we stayed on topic all the time, but great to see a complete triangle, of product businesses, banks and other FS providers and the consultancies all coming together to work out how we make it all work better for people and planet.

How Can the Digital World, Including Financial Services and FinTech, Become Part of the Climate Solution? In the ongoing battle against climate change, we often overlook a critical contributor to global emissions: our digital infrastructure. This is especially relevant in sectors like financial services and FinTech, where digital transformation is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. Enter Decarbonise Digital by Eric Zie, a book that dives deep into how the digital sector—particularly industries like ours—can and must transform to become a force for good in the fight against climate change. Eric Zie, a recognised leader in sustainable IT and a two-time The Earthshot Prize nominee, doesn’t just outline the problem. He provides a clear, actionable roadmap for reducing the carbon footprint of digital technologies. This book is not just a wake-up call; it's a guide to making meaningful change, especially in data-heavy industries like financial services, where the digital footprint is enormous and growing. Zie argues for a "global digital reset," urging the tech industry—including FinTech—to rethink its entire approach to growth. As our sector continues to innovate with digital wallets, blockchain, and AI-driven financial services, it’s crucial that sustainability is integrated as a core principle, not just an afterthought. His "Recipe for Change" is a practical framework that organisations in the financial sector can adopt today to balance digital growth with environmental responsibility. What makes Decarbonise Digital particularly impactful is its reach beyond the pages of the book. It has inspired a series of educational courses designed to equip IT professionals and digital leaders—especially those in finance and FinTech—with the knowledge and tools to implement these sustainable practices in their work. This extension of the book’s influence underscores its importance—not just as a text, but as a catalyst for real-world change. In an era increasingly dominated by digital technology, Decarbonise Digital is an essential read for anyone connected to the digital sector. For financial services and FinTech leaders, this book offers invaluable insights into how we can all contribute to a more sustainable future while continuing to innovate and grow.
