This Earth Day, we wanted to share how ValueOps by Broadcom is empowering businesses to reach sustainability goals and create a cleaner future. Below are four customer examples that demonstrate this impact.

1. Helping to plan and deliver the future of transportation through advanced technologies and increased efficiency

A global aerospace leader sought to significantly reduce technology costs while remaining at the forefront of a dynamic industry. The organization implemented ValueOps by Broadcom for value stream optimization, streamlining development of next-gen fuel-efficient aircraft and autonomous systems. By eliminating silos and aligning critical teams, they were able to prioritize innovation that supports lower emissions and smarter mobility.

Their efforts reduced tech spend by more than 30%, cut back rework, and improved alignment with sustainability-driven R&D programs, all aiding aviation's mission to reduce its environmental footprint.

2. Providing visibility and decision-making guidance for the energy portfolio transition to renewables and storage

A major energy provider was struggling to overcome a lack of visibility into portfolio performance, excessive manual effort, and a lack of insights into value delivery. To accelerate its shift toward clean energy—including solar, wind, and grid storage investments—the company adopted a strategic portfolio management model centered around value streams and using ValueOps as a single source of truth.

This shift allowed leadership to reallocate investments from legacy infrastructure to renewables, speed up permitting and development cycles, and reduce duplication, supporting the company’s bold goal to become carbon-neutral by 2045.

3. Assisting the mission to a net-zero environmental impact for all products, services, and corporate activities by 2050

A leading automaker aimed to align IT with its shift to value streams and move away from traditional delivery models. Using ValueOps' roadmap capabilities, the company enhanced planning around strategic initiatives like scaling electric vehicle production and phasing out internal combustion programs.

In just nine months, they reported increased engagement from engineering teams, more accurate forecasting of carbon-reduction milestones, and better collaboration across teams tasked with reducing the end-to-end product lifecycle impact.

4. Powering a revolution in how we buy, sell, own, and use vehicles to reduce their ecological footprint

A global automotive services and tech provider, navigating acquisitive growth, turned to ValueOps to unify delivery, eliminate redundancy, and focus efforts on eco-conscious mobility solutions such as integrating platforms for EV resale and fleet optimization. These efforts aligned with reducing the total environmental impact of vehicle ownership.

With ValueOps, the company saw more empowered teams, lower development costs, and improved delivery of features that support reduced emissions and smarter transportation services for consumers.
