AVEVA unveils product impact metrics in latest sustainability report

AVEVA, a global leader in industrial software, has published its 2024 Sustainability Report, providing a comprehensive update on its progress towards sustainability goals and its expanding green product roadmap.

The report highlights how AVEVA’s software solutions, designed to unify trusted information and insights, are helping industries drive the responsible and efficient use of the world’s resources.

The report outlines strong progress across all three pillars of AVEVA’s sustainability framework: technology handprint, operational footprint, and inclusive culture. In 2024, AVEVA sustained a 93% reduction in scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions compared to its baseline year. This achievement was made possible through a series of strategic actions, including a continued shift to renewable energy sources, careful optimisation of office space, and improvements in fleet management.

“We believe that sustainability and business success go hand in hand,” said Caspar Herzberg, CEO, AVEVA. “We’re focused on helping our customers harness the full potential of industrial intelligence, bringing visibility and insight to complex data and processes. This empowers the industry to achieve measurable improvements in both efficiency and productivity, unlocking significant savings in costs, emissions and resource requirements. AVEVA’s 2024 Sustainability Report demonstrates the strides we’ve made to deepen our technology handprint, reduce our operational footprint and advance our inclusive culture.”

Demonstrating its commitment to sustainable software development, AVEVA completed a maturity assessment of its entire product portfolio against the principles of the Green Software Foundation. Additionally, 85% of its products underwent power bench testing to evaluate energy consumption, laying the groundwork for future enhancements and ensuring alignment with green software principles.

Recognising that the greatest climate impact lies in the use of its technology, AVEVA also introduced a new annual metric for saved and avoided emissions. This figure reflects the measurable energy savings generated by a specific portion of its product suite. The company has committed to further refining this methodology and expanding its coverage in the coming years, reinforcing the real-world impact its software has on supporting decarbonisation.

“As we enter the final year of our 2025 targets, we’re focused on meeting our goals and chartering an even bolder path with our sustainability framework. We know that the biggest impact comes from our software handprint – how we work with our customers to enable them to drive decarbonisation, become more resilient and support circularity. This is why we’re publicly reporting our 2024 customer saved and avoided emissions data for select industry sectors. We’re committed to expanding our methodology to capture and quantify our broader impact. At AVEVA, we are continuing to advance towards a sustainable future, driving digital transformation through our software and leading by example with responsible operations,” said Lisa Wee, CSO, AVEVA.
