Operating models, digitisation and AI
How does Caroline help businesses with digitisation and AI automation?
Caroline has extended CGBC into digital compliance and AI. Digital Management Systems (DMS) replace document-heavy management systems with live, auditable ones, while AI Automation helps growing businesses save time and streamline their operations. CGBC’s Information Security & AI division also helps organisations adopt AI responsibly under ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act.
What is EcoVerify and why did Caroline found it?
Caroline founded EcoVerify in 2023 after seeing a gap between sustainability claims and the evidence behind them. It is Ireland’s only RvA-accredited GHG verification body under ISO 17029, providing independent verification of emissions inventories, carbon-neutrality claims and net zero pathways.
What is Caroline’s approach to compliance?
Her view is straightforward: credible performance is built on strong systems, secure data and verifiable evidence.
