In times of rapid change, leadership is defined not just by how we respond to the present but by what we aspire to in the future. The journey toward a sustainable and resilient future is not without its challenges—yet we must chart it with purpose and foresight. The pressures of macroeconomic instability, geopolitical tumult, and technological upheaval increasingly require immediate attention—and have the power to distract from our longer-term aspirations.

We must maintain a balanced approach—addressing today’s challenges while pushing toward positive, longer-term outcomes. Sustainability now competes with priorities like energy security, affordability, and the race to deliver value from AI investments. In many ways, sustainability is maturing and now must demonstrate the value we know it can deliver and is delivering.

At Autodesk, we strive to achieve that balance and deliver that value to our employees, customers, and the wider ecosystem in which we operate.
