105 100 per cent renewable energy as of the 2022 financial year, up from one per cent in in the 2020 financial year. We have also begun the full electrification of our car fleet, which we aim to complete by the 2030 financial year. We are encouraging our teams to reduce commutinglinked emissions and have committed to use our purchasing power to advance the next generation of sustainable aviation fuels, in partnership with other members of the First Movers Coalition. Only collective action can rein in GHG emissions and stave off the worst effects of climate change. Best practice in setting sciencebased targets requires companies to commit to measure and mitigate emissions across their entire value chain, driving increased collaboration and supporting the formation of strong networks of like-minded businesses. To help realise a more equitable, net-zero world for the next generation, AVEVA has partnered with peers across the industrial ecosystem. For several years now, we have been working together with strategic partners such as Microsoft to support industrial decarbonisation and assist the energy transition for customers in each of the 12 industry verticals that we operate in. Microsoft’s standardised, open cloud platform combined with AVEVA’s industrial expertise provide unmatched capabilities to optimise design, engineering, production and operations, improving environmental efficiency and decreasing fuel usage and materials waste. A customer example is Dominion Energy, the US power leader, which has leveraged AVEVA PI System and Microsoft Azure to improve grid sustainability and create an entirely new revenue stream. It can now provide customers with live information to help validate renewable energy commitments. Within the technology sector, new standards and partnerships are also being developed as companies continue to want to lead by example and tap into their own culture of innovation to accelerate global decarbonisation. AVEVA has joined the Green Software Foundation to support the development of lower-carbonemitting software standards. Alongside, we are focused on low-carbon innovation in our products with the use of green design principles and we are working with our global cloud providers, including Microsoft, to understand and minimise related emissions. Climate science indicates that achieving our common net-zero goals requires rapid and deep emissions cuts. Companies must tackle the GHG emissions that are generated at every level of their business, including upstream and downstream of their operations, creating new opportunities for collaboration that are good for the planet and good for business.
