As the world's leading computing platform company, with its energy efficiency DNA embedded in it, Arm, through innovative technologies and extensive collaboration with its ecosystem, has shown how to achieve energy efficiency technology innovation while delivering on its sustainability and social impact commitments. In the newly released "Arm 2024 Business for Sustainability Report", Arm has demonstrated its outstanding performance in improving energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting social well-being with strong data and cases.

    From small sensors running workloads on edge devices to large servers for training complex workloads on large language models (LLMS), Arm cpus are fundamentally driving the AI revolution and are at the heart of an AI ecosystem that will grow in the coming decades. By striking the right balance between performance and energy efficiency, Arm is setting the standard for greener and more efficient technology for the entire industry, helping to achieve sustainable energy use worldwide.

Arm Computing Platform: The best combination of performance and power efficiency

    In the face of increasing global demand for data computing and increasingly complex workloads, Arm's solutions prioritize reducing energy consumption while delivering market-leading performance. As the world's most extensive and efficient computing platform, Arm technology, represented by the Armv9 architecture, dramatically improves energy efficiency through innovative design, thus finding a valuable balance between technological progress and environmental responsibility.
    Taking the significant reductions achieved by the ARM-based AWS Graviton3 as an example, in Arm's collaboration with Amazon Cloud Technologies (AWS), the Armv9 architecture excelled in handling complex AI workloads, especially in data-intensive tasks that significantly reduced power consumption. Compared to non-Graviton processors, the Graviton3 achieved a 68% reduction in carbon intensity when running ARM-specific workloads. This not only improves the energy efficiency of the data center, but also shows how technology can lead the green transformation in cloud computing and large-scale data processing.
    Taking the Yitian 710 as an example, according to the data disclosed at the Alibaba Cloud 2022 Cloud Conference, the Yitian 710 can reduce the power consumption per vCPU by 6 times compared with x86 when the CPU load is 30%, and the power consumption of the whole machine is reduced by more than 60%. Carbon emissions are also proportionally lower. The annual power consumption of the national IDC is about more than 200 billion degrees, equivalent to the power generation of two Three Gorges dam, and the replacement of the case of relying on the sky can save the power of the entire Three Gorges.
    In addition, the Armv9 architecture is unique in its extremely high scalability, enabling it to be used in a wide range of computing scenarios, from smart terminal devices to large data centers. This architecture not only meets the current technical needs, but also provides the foundation for the larger scale computing tasks of the future, opening up a new path for green computing.

Mission driven: Achieving net zero emissions by 2030
    Climate change poses an unprecedented challenge to global societies and economies. In the face of this challenging situation, Arm set a goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2030 and made significant progress in fiscal year 2024. According to the report, Arm reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 77% in fiscal year 2024 compared to the fiscal year 2020 baseline, and this significant reduction result is due to the company's multi-faceted efforts.
    Arm has successfully achieved 100% renewable electricity use, ensuring that energy consumption is carbon neutral by fully switching power to renewable sources at all operating sites. This initiative significantly reduces the company's carbon footprint and is a core part of Arm's environmental strategy. At the same time, the office area achieved a 19% reduction in electricity consumption in fiscal year 2024, exceeding the original medium-term target of 8%.
    Not only is it making progress in its own operations, Arm is also actively driving the green transformation of its supply chain. In order to better achieve the 2030 net zero target, Arm is working closely with its supply chain to ask its top suppliers to take positive action in reducing their own carbon emissions. Through this partnership, Arm aims to reduce the absolute amount of carbon emissions from its supply chain by 42% by 2030. At present, this strategy has shown significant results, laying a solid foundation for the company to fully achieve net zero emissions.
    n addition, adhering to the company's mission and concept of sustainable development, Arm employees also go hand in hand with the company, and work towards the same direction in ESG practice to jointly promote positive changes in society and the environment. During fiscal year 2024, Arm employees accumulated 10,000 hours of service to charities and non-profit organizations. Through these actions, Arm is demonstrating how it can leverage its technology and team strengths to make a positive difference in global society. This not only enhances the company's reputation, but also provides an example for the entire industry of combining sustainability with social responsibility.

Ecological collaboration: Advancing technology for good and enhancing social well-being
    Arm's continued investment in an ecosystem of more than 20 million software developers enables us to optimize the Arm platform faster for a wider range of software, which means more devices, industries and use cases can enjoy the energy efficiency benefits, superior performance and accelerated development benefits of running on the Arm platform.
    In addition, technology is not only a tool to drive innovation, but also an important force in solving global social problems. Arm always adheres to the concept of "technology for good" and actively promotes the application of technology in social well-being through joint efforts with global ecosystem partners:
    Social Impact and the broad results of the Innovation project: Since 2015, Arm's social impact and innovation initiatives with partners have directly benefited 6.1 million people and indirectly reached 32.9 million through broader engagement with partners in ARM-supported social impact and innovation initiatives. The technological innovations it has enabled have reached 818.8 million people. It also shows that only through cooperation and technology can truly meaningful and lasting social progress be achieved on a global scale.
    Bridging the Digital Divide and accelerating equity in Education: Arm and UNICEF have been working together since 2015 to help children in poor and marginalized areas access digital resources through innovative projects. For example, Arm supports UNICEF's Global Learning Innovation Center, which helps improve access to educational resources for children in underprivileged areas around the world. In Africa, the ARM-funded Drone and Data Academy (ADDA) has trained more than 3,800 students in drone and data analytics skills.
     Technology empowerment for health and environmental protection: Arm not only focuses on the field of education, but also actively promotes the application of technology in health and environmental protection. For example, the AirQount project is using AI to monitor air quality in Uganda, helping local authorities understand and improve pollution. In addition, Arm has partnered with the Gavi Vaccine Alliance to develop biometric solutions based on Arm technology to help Ghana accurately track vaccinations and ensure efficient distribution and use of vaccines. In addition, Arm is helping to protect critical ecosystems globally by funding forest conservation projects in Borneo through a partnership with Pachama.

Leading industry innovation to build a sustainable future
    As Rene Haas, CEO of Arm, put it: "AI is the most profound opportunity of our lifetime. The moment matters -- it's about people, the planet, and the future of all of us." By building technologies that are the cornerstone of the AI era, Arm is supporting the transition to a cleaner, more efficient, equitable, and connected world. Looking ahead, Arm will continue to lead the industry in innovation, delivering on the company's commitment to sustainability and creating a better future for people and the planet.
