For further support, Atlassian brought in consultants to offer free advice to top suppliers, helping them navigate the complexities of setting and achieving climate targets.
The path forward for Atlassian For Atlassian, the sustainability journey is ongoing, marked by transparency, collaboration and a willingness to share both successes and setbacks.
“ So much of our climate, human rights, foundation and social impact work is about making sure that what we’ re doing reflects our values,” Jessica says.
“ Our founders started Atlassian with a vision of making sure that we do the right thing, that we take responsibility and that we set ourselves up to be a hundred year business.
“ So all of these commitments are really authentic, and we really are putting in the hard yards when it comes to achieving them and then being open about when we’ ve got headwinds in our way.
“ That lends itself to something like the Don’ t #@!% the Planet Guide and puts Atlassian in this unique position – to be really open and honest about what doing this work really looks like.”
