Scaling Sustainability Impact with AI

With data from over 260 senior executives this new report provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of industrial AI on helping organisations to realise their sustainability goals.

The next stage of Industrial AI

From early adoption to scaling impact

Two transformations are shaping our world: the shift from fossil fuels to renewables and from a linear to a circular economy. Navigating both amid growing complexity requires new approaches. Industrial AI unlocks new possibilities—enabling simulation before construction, optimisation before operation and orchestration across entire value chains—transforming energy systems, supply chains and infrastructure into intelligent, sustainable ecosystems.

Building on our inaugural report in 2024, this year’s edition highlights how organisations have progressed beyond early adoption to deploying industrial AI at scale—driving measurable sustainability impact.

Key Findings

↑ 63% Widespread adoption

63% of organisations are actively implementing industrial AI.

↑ 81% Growing confidence

81% of respondents agreed that future innovation in sustainability will be driven by industrial AI.

↑ 23% Proven results

Organisations are achieving an average of 23% energy savings and 24% CO₂ reductions with industrial AI.

Climate change, biodiversity loss and population growth require customers to embrace the energy transition, the circularity transition and societal changes at the same time. The complexity of juggling global interconnected system transitions in times of major disruptions can only be mastered with AI.
