AVEVA named finalist for Microsoft Sustainability Changemaker award

Industrial software company AVEVA has been named a finalist for the 2026 Microsoft Sustainability Changemaker Partner of the Year Award.

The Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards recognise partners delivering strong customer outcomes through Microsoft Cloud, AI, services and devices. This year’s winners and finalists were selected from more than 4,500 nominations worldwide across a range of categories and regions.

AVEVA was recognised for helping industrial enterprises achieve both business and sustainability goals through digital transformation. Using Microsoft Azure, AI and industrial intelligence technologies, its software helps organisations reduce energy consumption, lower carbon emissions, optimise resource use and run more sustainable operations across the life of their assets.

According to AVEVA, the judges highlighted its customer impact, innovative use of emerging technologies and its commitment to helping industries make decisions that benefit both operational performance and the environment.

“By combining deep industrial expertise with advanced cloud and AI capabilities, AVEVA is helping organisations transform sustainability from an aspiration into measurable action and long-term value,” said Lisa Wee, chief sustainability officer at AVEVA.

Nicole Dezen, chief partner officer and corporate vice president at Microsoft, said this year’s honourees were “harnessing the power of Microsoft Cloud and AI to deliver transformative solutions, accelerate customer success, and expand what’s possible”.

The awards were announced ahead of Microsoft Ignite, which takes place in San Francisco from 17 to 20 November.
