Hey {{first_name}}

Let me be direct for a second.

Every department around you — Sales, Marketing, Finance — has already figured out how to use AI to move faster or at least has tons of resources. They have the tutorials, the templates, the workflows. And sustainability professionals? We're mostly still copy-pasting from a chatbot and calling it a day.

That's not a criticism. It's just where we are. But 2026 is the year the gap becomes visible. The professionals who figure out how to execute with AI — not just chat with it — are going to look like they have a team behind them. The ones who don't will wonder why everything still takes so long.

The shift happening right now isn't about better prompts. It's about AI that actually sits on your desktop, reads your files, and hands you a finished Word document, a formatted Excel tracker, or a stakeholder-ready PowerPoint. No copy-pasting. No reformatting. Just work done.

This is exactly what Claude Cowork is capable of and exactly what I will show you today.

I made a video this week that walks through exactly what this looks like for sustainability professionals. Five real workflows. The kind that used to eat your Tuesday afternoons. Supplier benchmarking across five reports at once. Turning meeting minutes into a presentation. Transforming a messy brainstorm into a professional questionnaire — in Word and Excel — in seconds.

If you've been curious about where AI is actually going for people like us, this is your answer.

See you there.
