This Practice Note reviews current and forthcoming rules shaping TMT and examines leading organisations influencing sector benchmarks. It identifies the organisations most influential on evolving industry norms and compliance expectations. It then considers technology’s environmental effects and sets out actions and openings the TMT industries will probably need to adopt to progress towards a sustainable future. The discussion frames both risks and opportunities for TMT as it charts a path towards sustainability.
