Investing in sustainable technology All three of Autodesk ’ s sustainability pillars support each other .
“ We only get to talk to customers about sustainability if we walk the walk ourselves ,” Joe says . “ As we support our customers , we understand the wider ecosystem and realise that , if we don ’ t figure out how to decarbonise cement , we will have a hell of a time decarbonising the built environment – so we start investing in the materials selection space .”
The companies and developments that Autodesk invests in then become a tool that the company uses to keep its operational emissions down .
“HOPEFULLY 10 YEARS FROM NOW WE WILL HAVE SOLVED THE COST CURVE CHALLENGE ASSOCIATED WITH TECHNOLOGIES LIKE DIRECT CARBON CAPTURE ”
