GE Vernova Inc.’s GEV sustainability strategy is becoming an increasingly important part of its long-term investment story. Recently, GEV released its 2025 Sustainability Report highlighting progress across its mission to "electrify the world to thrive and decarbonize."
One of the most significant achievements was the addition of 26 gigawatts (GW) of new generating capacity during 2025. Nearly 47% of this capacity was deployed in developing and emerging economies, helping improve electricity access while supporting economic growth. The company also energized 68 GW of new power transformers, reinforcing its role in expanding and modernizing electric grids around the world.
GEV reported that the carbon intensity of new generating capacity brought online during 2025 was nearly 31% below the global average carbon intensity of the existing power grid. In addition, technologies deployed by the company helped avoid an estimated 22 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions compared with conventional alternatives.
The company reduced its Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 27% year over year in 2025 and by 64% from 2019 levels. At the same time, its circular economy initiatives expanded, with 53% of its major products now covered under its 4R framework of Rethink, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Its diverse portfolio of power generation, grid and emerging energy technologies enables the company to address growing needs for reliable, affordable and lower-emission energy solutions, while its sustainability initiatives may support long-term growth and strengthen its competitive advantages.
