Use of semi-colon in this sentence?

Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me if I've used the semi-colon correctly in the following sentence:

"On the latter point; we are doing what we can to integrate green technology and cut carbon emissions by 29%"

Thanks!

Hi, Can anyone tell me if I've used the semi-colon correctly in the following sentence: "On the latter point; we are doing what we can to integrate green technology and cut carbon emissions by 29%" No. The semi-colon need to be preceded by a full sentence structure. Just use a comma instead.
