Sustainability in Design and Manufacturing with Autodesk

We can help create a sustainable future where net zero is the new normal​

Our impact strategy

THREE IMPACT OPPORTUNITY AREAS

Improve our operations

Partner with customers

Advance industries

THREE INITIATIVES TO CREATE IMPACT

Introduction / Autodesk Impact Strategy / Impact Opportunities /

Enable better energy and materials choices, reducing carbon emissions and waste

Accelerate the design and make of products and places that are safer, healthier, and more resilient

Advance equity and access, and facilitate the acquisition of in-demand skills of the future

Energy & Materials Health & Resilience Work & Prosperity

Three impact opportunity areas to best serve our customers

Explore: opportunities in D&M

Operational Energy Improve performance of factories, machines and products, optimizing for energy

consumption and reducing waste

Supply chain resilience Transparency and accountability across the supply chain, suring up supply chains against

disruption

Material Impact

Increased access to skilled labor by provision of equal opportunities to

learning and jobs

Learning & accreditation Continuous learning on job and through formal education pathways

Circular Economy Circular design of products through material choices, durability, and disassembly

Equitable access to jobs

Explore and understand performance tradeoffs of materials selected in design and used in

manufacturing

Consumer demand for more sustainable products coupled with increasing environmental regulations is pushing product designers and manufacturers to achieve more sustainable outcomes. ADSK solutions enable more sustainable design, manufacturing, production, and operations.
