Awards 2026

Now in its 17th year, the awards recognize organizations and leaders who turn sustainability
commitments into action and deliver measurable impact. This year’s awards attracted
more than 700 entries and were assessed by an independent panel of 25 judges. The
Sustainability Trailblazer Award honors business leaders who challenge the status
quo through pioneering ideas and actions, demonstrate inspiring leadership, and 
are committed to creating lasting impact.

As AI reshapes the global economy, Lei argues that energy, not just chips, will 
be a fundamental constraint on AI’s growth. He advocates a future energy system 
that is Infinite, Intelligent and Inexpensive, where AI accelerates clean energy
growth rather than competing with households, hospitals and industry for electricity.
For Lei, sustainability is not just a responsibility, but a pathway to new prosperity.

In 2026, Lei launched Mission GOBI, targeting 5GW of renewable-powered AI infrastructure
by 2030. In August, Envision’s Galaxy Campus began operations in Ulanqab as the 
initiative’s first flagship project, featuring the world’s largest single AI data
center building. Powered directly by renewable electricity and supported by Envision’s
proprietary AI Power System, the campus brings together large-scale computing, renewable
power and intelligent energy management within an integrated infrastructure architecture.
At full build-out, it is designed to support gigawatt-scale AI computing, with up
to one million PFLOPS of computing capacity. By aligning AI computing with regions
rich in wind and solar resources, the initiative seeks to use growing demand for
computing to catalyse investment in clean energy: letting computing follow clean
energy, rather than the other way around.

These initiatives reflect Envision’s vision, formalized in 2026 as "To Create a 
New Prosperity for Civilization". From renewable energy to AI infrastructure, Lei
is working to turn technological innovation into lasting economic, industrial and
social value.

Earlier this year, Lei became the first entrepreneur and private-sector business
leader to receive the Energy Institute President’s Award. The Reuters award further
recognizes his role in advancing a new model of energy infrastructure – one that
moves beyond individual technological breakthroughs towards scalable, system-level
solutions that deliver environmental and economic value while broadening the benefits
of AI.
