When it comes to customers , Autodesk explains : “ By building and deploying the industry cloud platforms that enable our customers to connect data across teams and workflows , we can equip them with the insights they need to make better decisions throughout their design and make processes , accelerating sustainable outcomes .”
“ We ’ re transitioning to be much more of a platform company ,” says Joe Speicher , Chief Sustainability Officer at Autodesk . “ We ’ re building Tandem to be open and accessible so that existing building system companies can integrate their software , validate the performance of the building in real time and connect it back to the original design intent .”
The third pillar encompasses the work that Autodesk does to support the wider ecosystem , particularly through policy and research .
“ Our philanthropy invests in technologies that we think need to exist to be able to decarbonise ,” explains Joe .
“ For example , we invest in the carbon removal space because we think the best thing that we can do is bring down the cost curve so that others can participate in that market . We do so by both investing in CDR companies , carbon vaccine removal companies , as well as taking carbon removal offtake .”
