The Sustainability Loop: Scaling Value and Innovation with David Costa

from Horizons Voices · host NTTDATA Italia

In this episode of Horizon Voices, recorded at the NTT DATA Horizon's Innovation Summit 2026, we are joined by David Costa, Chief Sustainability Officer at NTT DATA. With over three decades of experience at the intersection of business and technology, David dismantles the myth that AI and sustainability are at odds, arguing instead that they form a "reinforcing loop" where AI provides the scale necessary for sustainability, and sustainability ensures the long-term viability of AI.The conversation highlights a major turning point in the industry: the move from sustainability as a "compliance-driven" cost to a structural driver of business value and ROI. David details how modern organizations must move beyond disconnected CSR departments to a model where sustainability is embedded in every function, comparing the role of the CSO today to the Chief Quality Officers of the 1980s.
