Interview: Dydon AI CEO Dr. Hans-Peter Güllich on Digitalising the EU Taxonomy - ESG Today

Dr. Hans-Peter Güllich is the founder and CEO of Dydon AI, a Swiss company offering transparent and flexible AI solutions for Sustainable Finance (Fintech), Insurtech, and Medtech. He made significant contributions to the development of numerous risk management systems (credit and operational risk), founding also a leading vendor of a cross-industry IT solution for governance, risk, and compliance management (Avanon AG) acquired years later by Thomson-Reuters. We discussed several topics with Hans-Peter, including the challenges facing investors and companies in complying with the EU Taxonomy, and the use of AI solutions to address those issues. The EU taxonomy provides companies, investors, and policymakers with appropriate definitions for which economic activities can be considered environmentally sustainable. This should create security for investors, protect from greenwashing, help companies to become more climate-friendly, mitigate market fragmentation and help shift investments towards sustainable activities – one of the core objectives of the Paris agreement already back in 2015.
