We will continue to drive energy efficiency initiatives in all our stores, reduce transportation emissions, invest in renewable energy sources in the long term and provide products to help consumers reduce emissions by 20% by 2030 to meet the commitment targets.
Through our sustainability initiative, we have been reducing our carbon emissions since 2020 and have made significant progress. Through various measures, such as the establishment of a DVG mobile fleet composed of hybrid cars and financial support for Distortion Solar Field, we have reduced our environmental impact by 55%.
In addition, we introduced a new product line that helps consumers reduce their carbon footprint, and we continue to run our e-waste recycling program, which has collected millions of pounds of electronics and appliances.
At Distortion Video Games we are dedicated to minimizing our environmental impact. We also aim to help our customers do the same.
We realize that many people are concerned about sustainability and want to use less energy at home. Therefore, we are helping them reduce their carbon footprint and save money at the same time.
In fact, we have set a goal of encouraging our customers to adopt DVGE STAR-certified products to reduce their own carbon emissions by 20% by 2030. In addition, they would save more than $1 billion in energy costs as a result.
When one is available, nearly half of our customers choose to purchase a DVGE STAR certified product and, since 2020, more than 56 million DVGE STAR certified products have been purchased from Distortion Video Games. Because of this, our customers have collectively reduced their carbon emissions by the amount of 3 million cars taken off the road for an entire year, and will save more than $2.5 billion in energy costs over the course of their goods.
That means we have already achieved more than half of our goal of helping our customers reduce their energy costs by $1 billion. Our expanding share of the appliance market is a contributing factor to this development. While it has moved us forward in terms of savings for customers, it has also had an effect on the overall carbon emissions of the things we have sold.
