We set and open-sourced our target-setting methodology for reducing emissions back in 2010 and helped launch the science-based target movement. The next one is science-based targets and efforts to reduce our own carbon footprint. First and early on, we started making investments in technology that could enable better decision-making, like energy analysis for the AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) sector. What are the milestones you would celebrate on this journey?īen: There are three that stand out to me, and it really starts with our customers. Lynelle: Ben, we’ve had victories along the way, and each milestone pushes us to dig even deeper and think about the next mountain we need to climb.
Here are some highlights from that conversation. He and I recently reflected on our road to net zero. Joining me for most of the effort has been Ben Thompson, our director of sustainable business. I’ve been on this journey with Autodesk for more than 14 years.
They’re creating new paths to efficiency, sustainability, and growth, and reaching beyond net zero to net positive. This year’s Impact Report stands out for the innovative ways our customers are harnessing data and insights to meet the climate challenge across the globe. While we’re committed at every level of leadership to advancing sustainable business practices, we have an even more critical role to play in equipping our customers and other innovators to better understand and improve the impact of design and make decisions on the environment.
We continually set even bolder targets, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because our learnings help us better guide our customers, wherever they are on their sustainability journey.
Net-zero is a new milestone in our more-than-decade-long effort to make sustainability an essential component of our business strategy and to translate that value to our customers, so they can embrace the opportunity of a low-carbon future, too. As we shared in our annual Impact Report, we’re proud to announce we have achieved our goal to become a net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions company across our business and value chain, while many companies are just starting to set similar goals. Every step forward we take to do our part reveals yet more we can and must do. No one ever said solving climate change would be easy.
