Making a positive impact
Creating a sustainable future
At Autodesk, sustainability is about creating technology that improves energy and material productivity. It’s about supporting innovators through grants, software donations, and training. And it’s about leading by example with our own operations, advancing sustainability business practices, and supporting every employee to make a positive impact.
Technology for a rapidly changing world
Empowering people to design, collaborate, build, and fabricate in ways that improve productivity–while also reducing waste, saving money, and staying competitive–is the goal behind our sustainable design technology. Our software harnesses the power of automation to achieve business and sustainability goals.
Catalyzing innovation through philanthropy
Through financial grants, software donations, technical training, and more, we support many of the entrepreneurs and innovators on the front lines of solving today’s most pressing social and environmental challenges.

Walking the walk in our operations
We power our buildings, data centers, and cloud services with 100% renewable energy. We’ve reduced our GHG emissions by 43% since 2009. Beginning in fiscal year 2021, we set a new target to make our entire business climate neutral. When it comes to sustainable business practices, we set ambitious goals and work with our customers and partners to meet them.
