Q&A/Intermission

AI, ESG and Responsible Innovation: Understanding the Environmental and Governance Implications of Artificial Intelligence

As artificial intelligence (AI) integrates into core business operations, decision making and security, it reshapes the corporate landscape. But what is the hidden cost? This session explores the critical intersection of AI and ESG frameworks. We will move beyond the hype to examine the tangible environmental footprint of AI—from energy-intensive data centers to large-scale infrastructure—and the governance challenges inherent in responsible deployment.

Join us to uncover emerging best practices for AI accountability, transparency and ethical use. Through real-world examples and practical guidance, attendees will learn how to balance rapid innovation with long-term sustainability, helping leaders build effective governance frameworks that align AI adoption with corporate ESG goals. Whether you are in security, sustainability or executive leadership, you will leave with a clear roadmap for deploying AI responsibly.

Q&A/Intermission

Efficient by Design: How Security and Building Products Contribute to Energy Goals

Owners are under pressure to hit energy and decarbonization targets, and every device on the network is now part of that math. This session looks at how efficiency is being engineered into security and building products—power management, standby draw, materials and life cycle and the role of integrated systems in reducing consumption.

Q&A/Intermission

Beyond Borders: Security’s Strategic Role in Social Impact and Governance

Security leadership does not operate the same way everywhere. While organizations may share global expectations for safety, ethics, accountability, resilience, and responsible governance, how those principles are understood and implemented can vary significantly across countries, cultures, and communities.

Dr. Jill Frack and Eva Nolle will explore the Social and Governance dimensions of ESG through an international security lens, including perspectives from the United States and African markets. The discussion will examine how differences in organizational culture, workforce expectations, community relationships, regulatory environments, infrastructure, technology, and governance influence the way security programs are designed and implemented.

The session will challenge the assumption that successful U.S.-based security and governance practices can simply be replicated globally. Instead, attendees will explore how organizations can establish consistent global principles while adapting their approach to local cultural and operational realities.

Through the intersection of security, human behavior, organizational psychology, social impact, governance, and resilience, attendees will gain practical strategies for building programs that strengthen trust, accountability, organizational performance, and community impact

What It Looks Like in the Building: AI, Occupants and Oversight

This discussion moves from products to practice. An end user walks through a real deployment—what was installed, what it was meant to solve and what surfaced once employees and visitors were in the loop. Joined by an expert in AI for security operations, the session examines the social and governance questions that follow deployment: privacy, data ownership and how automated decisions get reviewed.
