Advance industries We cannot meaningfully Accelerate Shape address climate change without collaboration policies significant government action. Overcoming global challenges such as climate change requires new ways of working Enabling more sustainable construction together and knowledge sharing to develop, promote, and scale breakthrough solutions. and manufacturing We work with experts, trendsetters, and leaders to shape best practices, share our expertise and learn from others, and collaborate to help create systems change. This The building industry is increasingly focused on making net-zero buildings, reducing During fiscal year 2022, we called on governments globally to act boldly at COP26. year we worked with industry-leading customers, as well as with industry organizations embodied carbon, minimizing construction waste, improving operations, and building We also engaged government officials in the United States on ways they could lead on like ENCORD and the Lean Construction Institute, to shape best practices on efficiency smarter, more resilient, and more sustainable communities. Manufacturers are climate change, including taking executive action regarding embodied carbon, taking in the construction process. We also partnered with Climate Action on the Sustainable developing more sustainable products—like lighter-weight car parts that lead to better legislative action to reduce GHG emissions across industries, and making strong Innovation Forum during the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), We fuel efficiency—and reducing waste in manufacturing through rapid prototyping, commitments internationally. Mean Business, Race to Zero, Architecture2030, the Bay Area Business Council on Climate additive manufacturing, and other processes driven by digital tools. But action by private Learn more Change, Ceres BICEP, and the Digital Climate Alliance to shape public policy on green industry alone isn’t enough. We cannot meaningfully address climate change without building at multiple scales. significant government action. We are proud to be members of collaborative organizations, including: In addition to engaging on national and global climate policy, we collaborate with Advancing digital transformation in the policymakers and other companies to spur more sustainable construction, manufacturing, manufacturing and architecture, engineering, and water management. and construction industries Autodesk supports policies and international efforts to promote measurement and Autodesk believes better use of technology can help transform design, construction, reduction of carbon emissions, energy efficiency, and waste reduction in our industries, and operations so that products and the built environment are more innovative, efficient, as well as broader national and global commitments, including market-based efforts, safe, and sustainable, and better managed throughout their lifecycle. We believe to tackle climate change. digitalization can help address national and global supply chain challenges. We support These include: public policies that foster greater adoption of digital design and construction tools ● Fostering use of technology to design, construct, and operate sustainable water and for transportation and water infrastructure and building projects, including those that transportation infrastructure and buildings that promote resiliency, produce less support the use of BIM and construction management technologies. waste, limit the use of carbon-intensive materials, and improve energy efficiency. ● Developing embodied carbon reporting and reduction policies.
