Davos theme
Accelerating the sustainable enterprise: Resilient | Innovative | Collaborative
At TCS, we believe enterprise will be at the heart of building a more sustainable future. The role of business in creating a more prosperous, inclusive, and greener future has never been more important, and businesses are increasingly rallying to this call. More than 85% of large corporations have already made net-zero pledges and are working on their execution plans to decarbonize, use more renewable sources of energy, and create greener supply chains. TCS is proudly working with leading companies in all sectors to leverage the power of digital technologies to forge a path towards a better future for people and the planet. The companies that will define the future need to be resilient, innovative, and collaborative. Davos is a platform that deepens this collaboration.
Resilient
Besides being efficient, organizations must also be resilient across operations and be able to respond rapidly to new challenges and opportunities.
Innovative
The value of innovation, and an organization’s ability to be innovative, has evolved from solving problems to becoming an enabler of sustainable transformation.
Collaborative
An organization’s success relies on its ability to collaborate and foster strong partnerships, and grow around purpose-led ecosystems.
