I\u2019m an Impact Marketing Specialist at Autodesk and joined the company about a year and a half ago. In my role, I\u2019m responsible for elevating Autodesk\u2019s reputation as a leader in sustainability. I do this through project managing our annual impact report and working with the rest of the impact marketing team to hone our sustainability messaging and storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autodesk\u2019s annual impact report<\/a> is our opportunity to reflect on what we have achieved over the last fiscal year with our impact strategy. We have three impact opportunity areas: Energy & Materials, Health & Resilience, and Work & Prosperity. This report is our chance to share our progress, highlight innovations, and celebrate what we have accomplished with our partners and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The power of collaboration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important for us to release this report because it shows how we not only talk the talk, but also walk the walk, every year. It holds us accountable and encourages transparency across all the areas we report on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s report included more than 100 stakeholders and contributors across Autodesk. It\u2019s an incredible opportunity to hear what everyone is working on and how the entire company is working to make a difference. It\u2019s a process that starts almost immediately after we publish the previous report and goes right up until the launch date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) being an ever-evolving field, we are constantly looking for ways to make sure our process and messaging align with best practices and changing recommendations. One exciting update we made this year was changing the structure of the report. We did this so that it better aligns with how we are creating impact through our operations, in partnership with our customers, and our industries. We think this change will allow report readers to more easily find the information they are looking for and understand how we work across all our channels to effect change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiring stories of impact<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I see stories and information from the impact report show up in presentations and other pieces throughout the entire year \u2013 this demonstrates just how much impact means to Autodeskers across the company. My team is constantly receiving requests for impact stories and examples, and the report is a way to consolidate the key highlights from the last fiscal year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love working on the impact report because I\u2019m able to see all the incredible things we\u2019ve accomplished as a company in the past year. You\u2019ll have to read the report<\/a> to see all our highlights, but here are a few initiatives that show how we are making a difference to deliver better outcomes for our customers and the world:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
