SUSTAINABILITY
Employee engagement – and travel Covid-19 brought unexpected lessons. The pandemic halted business travel, making emissions targets briefly easier to meet. But as travel resumed, Atlassian’ s new distributed model – dubbed‘ Team Anywhere’ – meant the company’ s more than 13,000 employees worldwide were travelling differently, often coming together from remote locations.“ Travel behaviour is changing. So we need to understand – what’ s the new baseline?
Why are people travelling? What are the emissions hotspots?” Jessica explains.
To address these challenges, Atlassian has revised travel policies and begun exploring sustainable aviation fuel, a new tool in its emissions reduction arsenal.
“ I do feel very optimistic when I think about FY25 to FY40. Do we have a plan to get after this? Yes. And today, are we behind? Yeah. And we have to kind of own that,” Jessica says.
