51、 who has focused their career on the environment,energy,climate and sustainability for almost 30 years,Ive never experienced so much consensus from governments,companies and NGOs around one common themeaction.2022 marked a tipping point toward accelerating action.Throughout the year,weve seen three
52、key transformations that are helping to solve some of the worlds most pressing sustainability challenges.And GEs own transformation is perfectly timed and aligned to ensure success.ROGER MARTELLAChief Sustainability Officer First,the relationship between governments and companies is rapidly reconfig
53、uring toward partnership of shared goals.One key catalyst:the United States passage of its first climate change lawthe Inflation Reduction Actis one of the most impactful energy policies in decades and is bringing the government and companies together to solve for climate change,energy security and
54、supply chain together.Another is the European Unions RePowerEU package,which is helping address the energy market disruption caused by Russias invasion and promote energy security while accelerating the energy transition.Importantly,this is not just a U.S.and Europe transformation.We are rapidly exp
55、anding our engagement with governmentsacross the Middle East,South America,Africa and Asiato help build a clean energy supply chain across the communities in which we operate.The work our GE Vernova team has done together to provide emergency power to Ukraine,documented on page 14,is perhaps the bes
56、t example of a public-private partnership Ive seen.At GE Aerospace,were working with the European Commissions Clean Aviation program and the U.S.Federal Aviation Administrations Continuous Lower Energy,Emissions and Noise(CLEEN)program to innovate jet engine technologies and help decarbonize the avi
57、ation industry.Second,the urgency of electrification and energy security is creating additional incentives to act on climate change.In the last 12 months,weve seen more severe weather events threatening energy reliability,risks from cybersecurity,growing variability from renewable energy and the nee
58、d to harden the grid so that other sectors can decarbonize through electrification.All these factors have ignited a sense of urgency of acting today on both power generation and grid modernization.While doing so within the context of electrification,these investments bring equal benefits to decarbon
59、ization and climate change goals.Thus,we are increasingly seeing action that solves both climate change and the energy trilemmagrowing access to more sustainable,reliable and affordable electricity for the nearly 775 million people who lack access.We launched GridOS,the worlds first grid orchestrati
60、on software,which is designed to enable secure and reliable grid management while delivering the resiliency and flexibility needed by utilities worldwide.Third,weve seen a transformation and increasingly unified global action plan for climate change.For example,countries like Egypt and the United Ar
61、ab Emirates(UAE)are now putting their climate commitments front and center in their economic plans.They are aggressively pursuing climate change investments as ways to advance their economies and inspire a new generation of diverse leaders and workforce.We were honored to work in Egypt to run a gas
62、turbine on a hydrogen blend for the first time for the African continent in 2022,and were prioritizing our partnership with the UAE,which I believe will emerge in 2023 as one of the worlds leaders on innovating technology to decarbonize industrial and energy sectors.In addition,members of Air Transp
63、ort Action Group,including GE Aerospace,previously adopted a goal of net zero CO2 emissions by 2050,confirming the aviation industrys support of the Paris Climate Agreement.We want to enable the world to be invested both in cleaner and more affordable energy,and the economic benefits with it.As I re
64、flect on these transformations,I feel fortunate that GEs most significant transformation is aligning at this pivotal time.With our announcement in 2021 to launch three companies focused on critical,growing sectors in energy,aerospace and healthcare,we used last year to the fullestpreparing each comp
65、any to independently continue and build upon the legacy of GEs established ESG program,including our climate commitments and ambitions.All GE companies operate from the principle that sustainability is a business imperative and a necessary condition for long-term growth and success.That includes GE
66、Vernova and GE Aerospace,which are,respectively,uniquely positioned to lead the energy transition and the future of flight,and GE HealthCare,which successfully completed its separation in January 2023 and will release its own sustainability report detailing and further developing its own ESG strateg
67、y and goals.I am already a witness to how each of our three businesses are more strongly positioned to serve these three critical areas of energy,aviation and healthcare through focus.And,importantly,Im confident in their success both for their shareholders as a business and for sustainability in in
68、novating the solutions the world most needs to accelerate action.2022 marked the beginning of a transformative era not only for sustainability,but also for GE.One where we are unleashing our full potential as three independent industry leaders.With a continued commitment to our sustainability priori

235、sector solve for the energy trilemma of sustainability,reliability and affordability.As a company whose technology helps generate approximately 30%of the worlds electricity,we have a meaningful role to play in the energy transition and a strategic imperative to electrify and decarbonize the world.In
236、 2023,there is tangible momentum to solve climate change and propel the energy transition forward.In the United States,the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act(IRA)and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act(IIJA)provides policy support and tax credits designed to accelerate the energy transiti
237、on and energy security.SCOTT STRAZIKCEO,GE Vernova As we work to decarbonize the energy sector with urgency,2022 elevated the importance of energy security with unexpected and painful clarity.From extreme weather events globally,the Russian invasion of Ukraine and global economic retrenchment,energy
238、 security has emerged to join aspects of the energy trilemma as the most critical elements for successful energy ecosystems.At GE Vernova,we see the goals of decarbonization and electrification as mutually inclusive.Any progress in advancing the energy transition and combatting climate change must a
239、lso advance energy security at the same time.These policy and secular industry tailwinds will unlock a massive ramp of investment and execution,beginning now and increasing in the coming decade of actionand GE is uniquely positioned to work with our customers to lead this effort.GE believes the ener
240、gy transition will require increased decarbonization and electrification of the power generation sector lowering the carbon intensity of electricity itself as other sectors such as heavy industry,transportation and buildings look to the grid to achieve their decarbonization goals.Gains in lower carb
241、on power generation from wind,solar,nuclear,sequestered or hydrogen-powered gas turbines,hydroelectric power or other sources also rely on proper investment in the grid system to ensure we are locking in progress toward both goals.This electrification imperative is elevating the importance of invest
242、ment in the electricity grid system itself,including both hardware and software enhancements,to deal with added stresses and opportunities to manage the variability of more renewable electrons,growing threats to the grid and increasing energy demand worldwide.GE Vernova is being built as a company t
243、o lead the energy transition and is on track to separate from GE sometime in early 2024.GE Vernova will be guided by its purpose statementthe energy to change the worldand is on the front lines of combatting climate change.GE Vernova will lead this effort through a dedicated board of directors,focus
244、ed investor base and unified R&D mission.As a company,GE Vernovas businesses will include Power,Wind and Electrification,which will include our Digital business,reflecting the macrotrends present in our industry and our broader conviction that the energy transition will require a diverse suite of te
245、chnologies and solutions.Within Power,our focus will be on delivering the reliable,dispatchable and increasingly sustainable electricity the world requires across our Gas Power,Hydro Power,GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy and Steam Power businesses.These businesses support technologies that provide a sizab
246、le percentage of the worlds dispatchable electricity capacity today and will continue to focus on decarbonizing and meeting the rapidly growing demand for electricityexpected to double by 2050.Importantly,these businesses include critical energy transition breakthroughs we must realize,from small mo
247、dular nuclear reactors and hydrogen fuels,to carbon capture and gas turbine efficiency upgrades.Retooling and retrofitting thousands of power plants to provide reliable,lower-emitting electricity will require years of dedicated effort to extend the lives of these essential assets.For Wind,our focus
248、will be to restore the financial vitality and stability of this business while meeting the unprecedented growth in demand for onshore and offshore wind turbines over the coming decades.At GE,we begin with the fundamental principles by leading first with safety and then with quality and we are doing
249、so in Windparticularly as we move into the industrys ramping growth in the coming years.Whether working at heights or in our manufacturing settings,safety comes first for our team,our customers and our suppliers as wind energy moves toward greater industrialization,cost discipline and enhanced suppl

251、orse products,so we and our suppliers can implement more repeatable manufacturing processes,and thereby enhance overall product quality and reduce cost.To grow,we must ensure the long-term stability of the ecosystem of wind energy and position ourselves to deliver these crucial technologies at the m
252、assive scale that will be required.Electrification is often understated as a keystone of the energy transition;without massive investment in both the hardware and software infrastructure of the grid system,the necessary changes to generation will not be possible.At GE Vernova,our Electrification bus
