Digital Sustainability

Digital Sustainability: Risks, Responsibility, and Regulation

Digital technologies have transformed business, government and society, but they have also created new environmental, legal and ethical challenges. As organisations become increasingly dependent on artificial intelligence, cloud computing, data centres and connected devices, sustainability can no longer be viewed solely as an environmental objective. It has become a matter of governance, legal compliance and long-term resilience.

This book examines digital sustainability from an interdisciplinary perspective, bringing together law, business strategy, technology and public policy. It explores how organisations can balance innovation with responsibility while navigating an evolving regulatory landscape.

Topics include:

- Digital sustainability and corporate governance

- Artificial intelligence and responsible innovation

- Cybersecurity and organisational resilience

- Data protection, privacy and regulatory compliance

- Environmental impacts of digital infrastructure

- ESG reporting and corporate accountability

- International regulatory developments

- Risk management and future policy directions

Written for business leaders, legal professionals, policymakers, researchers and students, Digital Sustainability provides a practical and analytical framework for understanding one of the defining challenges of the digital age.
