Lisa Wee, global head of Sustainability for AVEVA highlighted the benefits of a clearly defined sustainability strategy for businesses.

“Customers and partners are also looking for opportunities to collaborate with those that share their values, understand their challenges and boast a robust sustainability track record of their own,” she said.
Also, the company has embedded sustainability more deeply into the company’s core product strategy under its ‘technology handprint’ pillar.
Beyond building new sustainability-specific capabilities into its software portfolio, the company is investing in global sales enablement aligned with growing the green economy.
For instance, it delivered over 115 innovative sustainability concepts during hackathons even as over 750 universities worldwide incorporate AVEVA software into curricula and research.
