8 Autodesk takes a broad approach to addressing the challenges and opportunities of climate change and driving progress for our company and customers. We focus on four key areas. • Governance: With oversight from our CEO, the Sustainability & Foundation team has direct responsibility for setting and implementing our corporate sustainability strategy, including our climate change strategy. • Strategy: To drive continued progress and meet growing demand, we continue to expand the solutions, education, and support we offer, helping customers secure a competitive advantage for a low-carbon future by designing high-performance buildings, resilient cities and infrastructure, and more efficient transportation and products. To continue to grow this market, we provide software and support to early stage entrepreneurs and startup companies who are designing clean technologies. We lead by example by infusing sustainability in our own business operations. See Customers and Philanthropy . • Risk management: Internally, we are investing in best practices to mitigate our GHG emissions and climate change risk through investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, disaster management and recovery strategies, and materials innovation. See Carbon footprint . • Metrics and targets: We set aggressive targets based on climate science to drive progress (see below) and measure and report performance across the value chain (see Carbon footprint ).
