Autodesk FY2020 Sustainability Report

Letter from our President and CEO Table of contents Customers 4 Climate change 8 Employees 10 Philanthropy 12 Ethics 14 UNGC index 15 By all measures, the next decade will be pivotal. The challenges we face—a global pandemic, a warming climate, rising inequality, and political instability—will continue to test the resilience of businesses, countries, ecosystems, and our global community. While few of us predicted that the global economy would be shut down by the novel coronavirus, it’s easy to argue we could have, and perhaps should have, seen this coming and been more prepared. This pandemic has been a wake-up call to leaders around the globe. As we look ahead to the next decade, it is more clear than ever that we need to design for resilience—in business, infrastructure, manufacturing processes, and political systems. It is equally important that we sharpen our collective ability to forecast business, market, and societal drivers, especially the unexpected ways these forces amplify and accelerate one another. As the CEO of Autodesk, I am grateful for the work we’ve done this past decade to prepare our business for today’s realities—moving to the cloud years ago, shifting most of our business to be recurring, and delivering products and platforms that enable distributed workforces to collaborate on data-driven decisions that create positive impact. I am equally humbled by the magnitude of opportunity that lies ahead as we and our customers future-proof our businesses to align growth with positive impact, as articulated by the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Our success this decade will be measured by our customers’ ability to deliver sustainable outcomes. Our platform must automate and power decisions with insights and intelligence that catalyze industry innovation and deliver positive outcomes in three key areas. First, our technology needs to help customers design and make products, buildings, and entire cities that foster healthy, resilient communities. We envision a future that is equitable, safe, and free from preventable illness and injury. We will continue to focus on technologies such as Construction IQ, which uses machine learning to make construction sites safer and healthier for workers, helping to prevent the hundreds of thousands of construction injuries that occur annually. Second, we must help designers and engineers understand the impact of everyday decisions about materials and energy use in the context of other goals. Technologies such as generative design and the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) enable customers to use resources more efficiently and productively, thereby saving money and reducing carbon emissions. Third, we have to continue delivering technology that helps people adapt, grow, and prosper alongside increasing levels of automation. Our cloud tools must support and enable human creativity, not replace it, in an increasingly remote workforce. Autodesk customer The Industrial Sewing and Innovation Center (ISAIC) in Detroit, Michigan, is focused on upskilling workers in the era of automation—just one example among many that illustrates how Autodesk tools are accelerating a better future. With these focus areas top of mind, we continue to lead by example within our own business. Ten years ago we set one of industry’s first science-based greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. We’re proud to announce we achieved that goal and set an even more ambitious target to make our entire business climate neutral beginning in fiscal year 2021. We are equally committed to building a resilient, diverse, and equitable culture at all levels of the organization. To that end, I’m proud that every Autodesk employee is now an owner of the company through stock grants deployed this spring. And finally, we have committed to invest 1% of our annual operating margin in Autodesk Foundation, to support entrepreneurs and innovators who are at the forefront of creating positive impact. The coming decade demands the very best of each of us. We need courage to confront and accept the unprecedented challenges we face. We need new levels of conviction, and the confidence to believe that an economically inclusive, socially just, and environmentally restorative future is possible. To achieve this, we’ll need to collaborate in ways previously unimaginable across sectors, industries, and disciplines. Please join us in working to shape a thriving future for billions of people. This is our decade to deliver—to make the impossible inevitable. Sincerely, Andrew Anagnost President and Chief Executive Officer Autodesk 2

4 Customers Our customers have a broad and global reach. They include a wide range of companies, design firms, academic institutions, nonprofits, students, and entrepreneurs in the architecture, engineering, construction, product design, and manufacturing fields. Pressure on the built environment and production- consumption systems will grow as global population increases. This must be balanced with the urgent need to tackle climate change during the critical 2020s, which will set the trajectory for decades to come. Autodesk technology helps our customers to design and make better things with less overall negative impact on the world. Architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC): The buildings sector represents 19% of GHG emissions globally 1 and 39% of energy- and process-related emissions: 28% from operational energy consumption and 11% from the production of building materials. 2 Reducing operational energy consumption in new and existing buildings remains a high priority for Autodesk and our customers. Tackling the embodied GHG emissions of building materials also offers great potential for near-term improvement, since those materials will account for about half of the climate impacts of projected new building construction between 2020 and 2050. 3 Reducing the impacts of building construction is essential, since that industry consumes more than half of all extracted raw materials 4 and generates over 36% of the waste stream in the developed West. 5 Up to 30% of construction activity on-site is related to rework, 6 and as much as 30% of construction material is wasted on-site, 7 costing time, money, and natural resources. Global demogra phic trends compound the urgency of reducing these impacts. As the global population continues to urbanize over the next 30 years, the construction in dustry will need to build an average of 13,000 buildings every day. 8 Indeed, 60% o f urban areas anticipated to exist in 2 030 have y et to be built. 9 Industry dema nd will contin ue to rise for solutions that enable architec ts, engineers, a nd contractors to support this ra pid growth more sustainably by improving energy and ma ter ials productiv ity while managing embodied carbon thoughtfully. T his past year, the Autodesk ® Revit ® 2020.1 updat e included enha nced systems an alysis workflows for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engin eers. This update supports HVAC systems analysis enabling ear li er, better, and more integrated collaboration between architects and engineers for better building energy performa nce. Our customers are increasingly working to make net-zero energy buildings, reduce embodied c arbon, reduce construction waste, and develop smart and sustainable cities. A study of Autodesk AEC c ustomers showed that approximately 47% of those customers h ave commitments to implementing sustainable practices. 10 Providing automa tion tools to support these objecti ves affordably and at scale is central to our sustainabi lity efforts. The Autodesk ® Ar chitecture, En gineeri ng & Construction Collection and Autodesk Construction Cloud™ help enable customer s to achieve these outcomes. Education We offer flexible, self-paced online learning opportunities as well as in-person experiences to help people get more out of Autodesk tools and to teach sustainable design concepts to those already practicing or considering a career in architecture, engineering, design, or related fields. Autodesk Knowledge Network , a repository of more than a million contributions from Autodesk, its community, and its partners, includes more than 250 videos and articles related to sustainable design. Autodesk ® Design Academy offers free projects, courses, webinars, and more for educators and design students at all levels. During fiscal year 2020, the site received more than 1 million new and returning visitors. Autodesk ® Education Community enables students, faculty, and educational institutions to access Autodesk’s professional-grade software portfolio at no charge. 11 In fiscal year 2020, students and educators accessed millions of educational licenses for Autodesk software. Autodesk University , a learning community for design and engineering professionals from around the globe, offers conference experiences and free access to online learning resources year-round. In fiscal year 2020, the Autodesk University website receieved nearly 2.2 million visits, and users watched more than 61,000 hours of instructional video, as well as 26,000 hours on additional distribution channels such as YouTube. Autodesk Certification Program provides educational resources and product certification for professional users and student worldwide, both instructor-led and self-paced. More than 700,000 certifications were issued in fiscal year 2020. 1. https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/ipcc_wg3_ar5_chapter9.pdf , Chapt er 9: Buildings. 2 https: //www.worldgbc.org/news-media/2019-global-status-report-buildings-and-construction 3. https: //www.worldgbc.org/sites/default/files/WorldGBC_Bringing_Embodied_Carbon_Upfront.pdf 4. http://www .mdpi.com/2075-5309/4/3/266/pdf 5. https: //ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Waste_statistics#Waste_generation_excluding_major_mineral_wastes 6. https: //www.researchgate.net/publication/291000555_Cost_Management_in_Construction_Projects_Rework_and_Its_Effects 7. https: //www.sciencedirect.com/book/9780123814753/waste , Chapter 15: Construction Waste. 8.

5 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals provide an important framework to drive social, environmental, and economic progress globally. Although Autodesk addresses all 17 goals to varying degrees, we focus particularly on the following goals to maximize our positive impact with our customers and through our products, operations, and philanthropic activities. Working to tackle the housing crisis with off-site construction technology Autodesk is supporting Factory OS , a volumetric modular construction startup, to help address the affordable housing crisis in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Factory_OS is revolutionizing home construction by building multifamily homes more affordably and sustainably in a massive off-site facility, while also creating jobs. This innovative approach has considerable potential to displace conventional construction practices for affordable multi-unit residential properties in U.S. urban centers. Autodesk expanded its relationship with Factory_OS with an investment in 2019 that supported the build-out of the Factory Floor Learning Center, a space dedicated to education and research on industrialized construction and changes needed in public policy to optimize its benefits. Learn more . Addressing embodied carbon in buildings The embodied carbon of the materials used in buildings—from resource extraction, refining, manufacturing, and logistics—accounts for 11% of global GHG emissions each year. To help customers reduce these impacts, during 2019 Autodesk served as a lead sponsor of the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) , incubated at the Carbon Leadership Forum with input from nearly 50 industry partners, including leading roles by C Change Labs and Skanska. EC3 takes data from Environmental Product Declarations to align, assess, and present the embodied carbon impacts in a way that’s easy to use and act upon during material specification and procurement. What would have taken days by experts can now be done in minutes by general practitioners. We’ve enabled EC3’s integration with BIM 360 ® (part of Autodesk Construction Cloud™) at no additional cost. AEC professionals can transfer project material quantity data directly from BIM 360 to EC3 with the push of a button. This turns the 3D building model into an interactive embodied carbon heat map (see graphic), enabling users to visualize the impacts of materials selection and make carbon-smart choices. Learn more .

6 Using data science to reduce construction risk and waste In 2019, Autodesk launched the Construction IQ Preview, a software program that uses machine learning to improve construction practices and outcomes. Our algorithms and models enhance design reviews, helping to reduce rework and waste, detect high-risk defects like water penetration risk early, and analyze unsafe behaviors and safety hazards in construction, which is consistently one of the most hazardous industry sectors. By analyzing data such as issues, observations, checklists, subcontractor assignments, and historical data from across Autodesk’s construction management platform, Construction IQ identifies high-risk issues during design reviews and construction and finds patterns of unsafe behavior that increase risk for fatal injuries on a jobsite. The algorithms were trained using more than 150 million data points gleaned from nearly 30,000 real projects. In March 2020, based on this innovation, Autodesk was rated #5 on Fast Company’s list of the most innovative data science companies of 2020 . Autodesk ® AutoCAD ® , CAMduct TM , CFD, Civil 3D ® , Formit ® , FormIt ® Pro, , InfraWorks ® , Insight, Navisworks ® , ReCap TM , Revit ® , Robot Structural Analysis Professional, and Autodesk Construction Cloud software Building design and engineering • Design high-performance buildings • Conduct energy analysis from concept to complex modeling • Optimize HVAC system design • Use clash detection during design to reduce waste in construction • Reduce embodied carbon through design and material specification • Plan for smart decommissioning and materials recovery • Improve structural material efficiency Infrastructure • Plan and design infrastructure for resilience and adaptation to climate change • Visualize projects in the context of the surrounding built and natural conditions • Perform simulations to assess environmental and social impacts of designs • Conduct traffic flow and mobility impact studies • Optimize inland and coastal flooding projects • Manage bioretention and green stormwater infrastructure Construction • Reduce embodied carbon through low-carbon material procurement • Support lean production planning and execution to reduce waste and streamline schedule • Improve site safety • Modularize design and maximize prefabrication • Minimize scrap in fabrication • Increase precision to maximize built performance Product design and manufacturing (D&M) : Consumer demand for more environmentally friendly products, as well as new environmental regulations, pushes manufacturers to commit to sustainable and circular outcomes in their work. In a 2018 survey of senior executives from large corporations around the world, 30% said their company had a circular economy strategy, and over three-quarters plan on adopting targets to make their products, processes, or business models more circular in the coming five years. 12 A study of Autodesk’s design and manufacturing customers showed that approximately 52% have commitments to implementing sustainable practices. 13 To address sustainability challenges and meet their commitments, Autodesk customers are implementing smarter and more efficient design and manufacturing approaches, increasing materials productivity, developing more circular business models, reducing energy use, and enhancing supply chain responsibility. To better understand how these trends apply to our customers, in 2019 Autodesk and IDEO led a workshop with approximately 20 designers, manufacturers, and consultants to explore what process changes and tools could better support sustainable product design. The “A.I. Chair,” the first chair created in partnership between humans and artificial intelligence, resulted from a conversation between Philippe Starck, Kartell, and Autodesk. Launched in 2019 and made using 100% recycled material, it was developed using generative design , a form of artificial intelligence that uses the power of the cloud to create better outcomes for products, buildings, infrastructure, systems, and experiences. This technology offers great potential for sustainable design through optimization (and reduction) of materials use, energy consumption, and other dimensions. 12. Going Circular: How Global Business is Embracing the Circular Economy. https://d.newsweek.com/en/file/459592/newsweek-vantage-going-circular.pdf 13. Autodesk engaged Business Advantage, a market research consulting firm, to conduct a study of 1400 Autodesk customers to understand their commitments to sustainability. The study, completed in 2019, determined a “commitment to sustainability” if the customer committed explicitly to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and/or showed evidence of a commitment to sustainability on their corporate website.

7 Insights that emerged from the workshop include the importance of engaging more stakeholders from across the business early in the design process, quantifying the return on investment of possible design changes, shifting from transactional toward service-based business models, and focusing on repairability. We’ll use these insights as we develop the next generation of tools and features to support sustainable design across our products. The manufacturing process itself also presents opportunities. Time, money, energy, and materials are often wasted due to poor design and inefficient production cycles, creating bottlenecks, machine idling, and slow product runs. Manufacturers can reduce energy use by up to 25% and increase productivity through smart and connected manufacturing techniques. 14 This past year, Autodesk ® Fusion 360 ® software was enhanced with generative design for 2.5-axis manufacturing, cost estimating, and manufacturing extensions to help accelerate design decisions and improve the quality of production processes, which ultimately leads to less material waste and scrap. Utilizing automation to integrate design and manufacturing processes plays an essential role and helps designers and engineers achieve productivity boosts and deliver more sustainable products. The Autodesk ® Product Design & Manufacturing Collection and our cloud platform help customers deliver on these objectives.

10 Diversity and belonging We’re building a place where people can bring their authentic selves to achieve personal and professional success. This requires a commitment to diversity and belonging—principles that we prioritize. As a company driving change, we work in countries around the world and in many languages. We believe diversity encompasses so much more than gender, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. It also includes valuing backgrounds, perspectives, and beliefs that are different from our own. In 2019, we: • Bolstered our seven Employee Resource Groups , voluntary, employee-led groups of individuals who join together based on common backgrounds or dimensions of diversity such as gender, race, or ethnicity, to foster and enable a diverse, inclusive workplace. • Furthered investment in the Autodesk Mentorship Program, which breaks down the barriers of meeting fellow colleagues from around the world and helps colleagues learn from each other. • Engaged in new strategic partnerships with Hispanic Serving Institutions and Historically Black Colleges and Universities to help develop the next generation of diverse talent. • Established partnerships with the following organizations to support the growth and diversity of the broader technology ecosystem: AfroTech, /dev/ color, PowerToFly, SMASH Rising, Upwardly Global, and Visual Effects Society. Learn more . Employee impact Whether they’re developing our latest sustainable design tools, volunteering in local communities, or helping nonprofits create change, our employees bring our vision of a better world to life and drive our culture of positive impact. We encourage all our employees to take advantage of professional development opportunities in sustainability and social good, pro bono consulting and immersion projects, sustainability-related benefits, and company matching funds that are available when they give their volunteer time and money to nonprofits. Training and development Autodesk offers extensive professional and technical development opportunities to managers, individuals, and teams. To inform our training, we perform comprehensive analysis throughout the business to identify skills gaps. This is linked to Autodesk’s Culture Code framework for managers and employees, which defines what we expect of individuals at various levels throughout the organization. As a part of our Win With Sustainability program, we provide employees in our sales organization with onboarding training about sustainability workflows in Autodesk products as well as the company’s corporate sustainability efforts. This training is designed to help customers succeed in their sustainability goals. Outside the classroom, Autodesk employees can use numerous tools to enhance their learning, such as online educational and professional development materials and a global tuition reimbursement program. Health and safety At Autodesk, we work to maintain a strong health and safety culture. We help our employees work safely and productively through participation in programs that mitigate occupational safety risks in our workplaces. All company sites have emergency response plans, and many also have emergency response teams to help keep our employees safe. Our commitment to wellness begins with helping employees and their families stay fit and minimize health concerns. Many of our facilities offer gyms, and our wellness campaign includes events such as softball, basketball, and soccer tournaments. Employees In December 2019, five Autodesk employees worked on a pro bono immersion project with Gashora Girls Academy of Science and Technology, a high school-level boarding school in Rwanda. For two weeks, the Autodesk team taught day-long workshops to teachers and students related to graphic design, 3D design, website design, learning resources, and Micro:bit.

12 Autodesk Foundation takes an expansive and catalytic view of philanthropy that encourages smart risk taking and innovative resource allocation in order to create a sustainable, equitable, and prosperous future. We do this through our philanthropic grantmaking and investing, software donations, and employee impact programs. The mission of the Autodesk Foundation is to support the design and creation of the most innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges, which include climate change and inequality. We seek out impact-driven, design-oriented organizations— from social enterprises and startups to accelerators and incubators—and help them scale promising solutions. In order to achieve this, we provide funding, software, training, and additional related support to help each organization have the greatest possible impact. In 2019, Autodesk committed to target 1% of annual operating margin for the next three fiscal years in support of the Autodesk Foundation. This commitment will enable us to manage our societal impact long into the future. We focus our philanthropic investments in the following areas where we can have an outsized impact: • Low-carbon innovation (reducing GHG emissions) • Resilient communities (helping climate-vulnerable communities adapt and thrive) • Future of work (initiatives that address inequality in the automation age) Read more about the impact of our grantees and investees on the Foundation website . We match charitable donations and encourage paid volunteer time so that Autodesk employees can support the causes and organizations they care about most. In response to the many natural disasters that occurred in 2019, our employees joined forces to raise tens of thousands of dollars for disaster relief and resilience-building efforts. Many also volunteered their time to provide direct aid in the months following these destructive events. See the Employees section for more information about our volunteering efforts. Autodesk business units also provide direct funding for design and engineering programs and projects in their respective industries. For example, Autodesk Education is an expansive program that supports students, teachers, and academic institutions worldwide with free access to Autodesk software and online learning opportunities. 29 Read more about how we’re educating the next generation to be problem solvers and encouraging job readiness in the Education sidebar in the Customers section.
