Abstract

The mounting urgency of climate change has compelled businesses, policymakers, and researchers to look beyond conventional financial metrics when evaluating corporate performance. This chapter investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) can serve as a meaningful enabler of climate-oriented corporate sustainability by facilitating the convergence of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting frameworks, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) mandates, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Drawing on the policy landscape of emerging economies—with particular attention to India's evolving regulatory architecture—the chapter examines how AI-powered tools can strengthen sustainability measurement, sharpen ESG disclosures, enhance supply chain transparency, and support evidence-based climate governance. The analysis identifies persistent barriers including fragmented data standards, algorithmic bias, and uneven institutional capacity, while outlining practical pathways for responsible AI deployment aligned with the objectives of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The chapter contributes to the growing discourse on AI's role in translating climate commitments into verifiable, accountable, and inclusive corporate action.
