Agentic AI Readiness Assessment

Answer a few questions about your sustainability work, AI familiarity and the kinds of workflows you want to improve.

Takes about 2 minutes

What this assessment looks at

AI readiness through a sustainability lens.

This assessment is designed around the intersection of sustainability work and Agentic AI, rather than generic AI knowledge.

01

Sustainability Context

Your current involvement with ESG, sustainability, climate, reporting, carbon or related professional work.

02

AI Familiarity

How comfortable you are with generative AI and using AI to support professional tasks.

03

Workflow Opportunity

Where repetitive research, reporting, analysis and coordination could potentially benefit from AI agents.

The direction

From AI tools to AI agents for sustainability work.

The goal is not simply to know what AI is. It is to understand how agentic workflows can be designed around sustainability problems and professional outcomes.

UnderstandAI agents, workflows and the shift from one-off prompts to multi-step task execution.
IdentifyFind sustainability workflows where research, monitoring, reporting or analysis can be improved.
DesignThink through the inputs, actions, tools and human oversight an agentic workflow requires.
ApplyMove toward practical Agentic AI use cases in ESG and sustainability environments.
Why this matters

AI is moving from answering questions to executing workflows.

For sustainability teams, the opportunity is not simply generating better text. It is understanding how AI agents can support multi-step work such as research, information gathering, analysis, monitoring and first-draft preparation while keeping appropriate human oversight in the loop.

01

Reduce repetitive work

Identify recurring sustainability tasks where an agent can help coordinate research, organise information or move work through defined steps.

02

Work with complex information

Explore how agentic workflows can be structured around sustainability information, documents, data and multiple sources instead of relying on one isolated prompt.

03

Build a new professional capability

Develop the ability to think about sustainability problems not only as reporting or analysis tasks, but also as workflows that can be redesigned with AI.

What the learning journey is about

Learn the thinking behind practical Agentic AI.

The objective is to connect AI-agent concepts with sustainability use cases. You do not need to become a software engineer to start thinking differently about how professional sustainability work can be performed.

01

Agentic AI fundamentals

Understand the difference between conventional generative AI interactions and workflows where agents can reason through defined tasks, use tools and progress through multiple steps.

02

Sustainability use cases

Explore applications across ESG research, sustainability reporting, carbon and climate work, information monitoring and other professional sustainability workflows.

03

Workflow design

Learn to break a real professional problem into inputs, decisions, tools, actions, checks and human review rather than asking AI to simply produce a final answer.

04

Responsible implementation

Think about source quality, validation, human oversight and the boundaries that matter when AI is applied to professional sustainability work.

05

Practical application

Translate the concepts into workflows that are relevant to the way sustainability professionals actually research, analyse, monitor and communicate information.

06

Future-ready capability

Build a practical mental model for evaluating where AI agents can create value in sustainability as the technology continues to evolve.

Who this is for

Designed for people who understand sustainability and want to understand AI differently.

You can come from different professional backgrounds. What matters is having a real interest in applying Agentic AI to sustainability-related work.

ESG

ESG & Sustainability Professionals

Explore how agentic workflows could support research, reporting, monitoring, analysis and other recurring responsibilities.

CAR

Carbon & Climate Professionals

Consider how AI agents could support information-heavy carbon, climate and emissions-related workflows.

FIN

Finance & Risk Professionals

Understand how sustainability information and AI-enabled workflows can intersect with finance, risk and decision-support work.

CON

Consultants & Advisors

Explore ways to think about repeatable sustainability research and delivery workflows through an agentic lens.

LEA

Leaders & Managers

Build enough practical understanding to identify meaningful AI opportunities without treating every AI task as an automation problem.

NEW

Career Explorers

Develop an emerging capability at the intersection of sustainability and AI and understand where it may fit into your professional direction.

The transformation

From “How do I use AI?” to “What workflow should AI help me redesign?”

That shift is at the heart of the learning experience. Instead of chasing every new AI tool, you learn to start with a sustainability problem, understand the workflow and then consider where an agent can responsibly contribute.

01 · Start with the problemDefine the sustainability task and the professional outcome before choosing an AI approach.
02 · Map the workflowBreak the work into information, decisions, actions, tools and review points.
03 · Design the agentic layerIdentify where an AI agent can support or coordinate defined steps.
04 · Keep humans in controlBuild validation and professional judgement into the workflow where it matters.
Why take the assessment first?

Because your starting point matters.

The self assessment is not a generic AI test. It helps connect your current sustainability experience, AI familiarity and professional goals with the kind of Agentic AI learning you may need.

A

Know your starting point

Understand whether you are completely new to Agentic AI, already using generative AI or beginning to experiment with workflows.

B

Identify your opportunity

Think about the sustainability workflows where you would most like to save time, improve consistency or explore new capabilities.

C

Make a clearer decision

Use your answers as a starting point before deciding whether a structured Agentic AI learning path is right for you.

Agentic AI in Sustainability

Don't just learn another AI tool. Learn how to think in AI-enabled sustainability workflows.

Take the self assessment first. Your answers will help you reflect on your current sustainability experience, AI familiarity and the workflows you want to improve. From there, you can explore the next step for your Agentic AI learning journey.
