C. Sustainability impact of Autodesk Software Empowering innovators 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. As a result, we are helping our customers to create net‑zero energy buildings, develop smart cities, and streamline more efficient yet green manufacturing. Providing automation tools to support these objectives ® affordably and at scale is central to our sustainability efforts. The Autodesk Architecture, ® Engineering & Construction (AEC) Collection and Autodesk Construction Cloud help en‑ able customers to achieve these outcomes. Focus area: Green building design 1 The buildings sector represents 19% of GHG emissions globally and 38% of energy‑ and process‑ related emissions: 28% from operational energy consumption and 10% from the 2 production of building materials such as cement, metal, and glass . Tackling the embodied carbon 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 3 construction between 2020 and 2050 . Reducing the impact of construction is essential, 4 since that industry consumes more than half of all extracted raw materials and generates 5 upwards of 36% of the waste stream in the developed West . We support customers with tools that tackle the total carbon impacts of the building life‑ cycle. The Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) helps customers choose car‑ bon‑smart materials that have lower embodied carbon. It uses information from publicly available datasheets, enabling building professionals to quickly compare different materials. 1 http://ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/ipcc_wg3_ar5_chapter9.pdf, Chapter 9: Buildings. 2 https://globalabc.org/sites/default/files/inline‑files/2020%20Buildings%20GSR_FULL%20REPORT.pdf 3 http://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 Autodesk Sustainability Financing Framework | October 2021 7
