Event sessions and activities examine
accelerating net zero carbon initiatives, ensuring compliance with
evolving regulations, and delivering ESG governance
MCLEAN,
Va., April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- At this
year's Appian World conference, low-code technology's role in
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) programs is on display.
Event sessions and activities are designed to raise awareness
across the ESG spectrum, and to highlight accelerating net zero
carbon programs and improving ESG ratings through a low-code
approach.
At this year's Appian World conference,
low-code technology's role in ESG programs is on
display.
Businesses are increasingly under pressure from customers,
financial regulators, investors, and governments to strengthen
their internal ESG systems. Low-code can help organizations improve
their ESG ratings by rapidly integrating ESG data sources, adapting
to evolving regulations, ensuring visibility, control, and
auditability, and by embedding ESG within operational
processes.
Conference Sessions
Conference sessions with customers, Appian leaders, and industry
experts illustrate low-code's value in big data capture and
management, compliance assurance, and reporting for ESG. Sessions
include:
- "Embracing Sustainability and ESG for Strategic
Advantage," featuring John
Stretton, Senior Manager, Process Improvement &
Automation at EDP Renewables North America and Jenna Harvey, Global Manager, Emerging
Industries at Appian.
- "Supply Chain Resiliency and the Journey to Net Zero
Carbon," featuring John Moore,
Carbon Expert with NZC Services Ltd, and Meryl Gibbs, Emerging Industries Leader at
Appian.
- "ESG Data and Reporting: Adapting to Shifting Regulatory

Schild, Global Industry Lead, Financial Services at Appian,
and John Trapani, Industry Leader,
Financial Services at Appian.
- The Appian Product Keynote sessions, presented by a
group of Appian experts across two days, are being delivered in the
context of ESG use cases, demonstrating how the latest Appian
features simplify and accelerate ESG program management.
Live-Build Challenge
This year's Live Build Challenge focuses on using the Appian
Low-Code Platform to build ESG solutions. Six Appian developers
will compete head-to-head, showing off their app building speed and
skill, while demonstrating how Appian can address the most daunting
ESG data collection, management, and reporting challenges. The
winner will receive a $10,000 cash
prize. Senior Developer Advocate April Schuppel will be joined by
Senior Solutions Consultants Jenny Durina and Val Rader to guide viewers through the
action.
"Go Green at Appian World"
App
Appian has taken steps regarding transportation, food and
beverage, conference policies, and accommodations to lessen the
conference's environmental impact. Conference attendees are
encouraged to use the "Go Green at Appian World" app (built into
the general conference app) to see how they can lower their
individual event-related carbon footprints as well. The simple
survey app asks a series of questions regarding event travel and
participation, and provides information on alternative choices each
attendee can make to help the event be as environmentally-friendly
as possible. In addition to raising carbon emissions awareness, the
app is an example of how the new Appian Portals capability makes it
easy to create external interfaces that deliver the power of Appian
without requiring users to login. Five survey participants will be
selected at random for Appian to adopt endangered penguins in their
names.
"It has never been more urgent for organizations to prioritize
sustainability," said Michael
Heffner, Vice President, Solutions and Industry Go To Market
at Appian. "Customers, investors, and financial auditors are
increasingly making decisions based on a company's commitment,
transparency, and auditability regarding environmental and social
impact. Low-code provides the speed, data management, and
visibility organizations need to understand their current position,
automate for improvement, and measure the results."
