Autodesk, Inc. (USA) has been ranked 89th in the '2026 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World' (Global 100) list, published by the Canadian media and investment research firm Corporate Knights. This marks Autodesk's 10th consecutive year of selection since the 2017 edition.

The Global 100 ranking selects the world's most sustainable corporations by evaluating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors, alongside sustainable revenue, investment, and growth. It is announced in conjunction with the World Economic Forum's (WEF) annual meeting in Davos. The 2026 edition evaluated 8,231 major global companies with revenues over $1 billion.

In 2026, a new metric, 'Sustainable Revenue Momentum,' was introduced. This indicator measures the speed of growth in sustainable revenue, accounting for one-third of the total score, reflecting an evolution in recognizing the speed of transition. Sustainable revenue and investment account for the remaining two-thirds.

This shift reflects the increasing urgency of the global economic transition toward sustainability. Sustainability is being recognized as corporate competitiveness itself, rather than just an image, necessitating more rapid transformation.

This selection is an international recognition of the sustainability strategy Autodesk has promoted for years and its steady execution. Such continuous evaluation demonstrates that these efforts are not temporary but are embedded in the core of the company's business.

Autodesk contributes to achieving a better world through design and creative technology in sectors including construction, engineering, architecture, manufacturing, and media & entertainment. Specifically, the company is working on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving resources, realizing safe, healthy, and resilient products and communities, and promoting diversity and equity.

Tomoyuki Nakanishi, Representative Director and President of Autodesk Japan, commented: "We are honored to be selected for the Global 100 for the 10th consecutive year. The newly introduced 'Sustainable Revenue Momentum' is a vital indicator reflecting the speed of transition to sustainable business, which is essential for realizing a better world. We are deeply significance in being evaluated from this perspective. Autodesk is committed to achieving a more sustainable society together with our customers through our design and creative technology. We will continue to balance the reduction of environmental impact and the creation of social value through innovation to contribute to a better future."

Autodesk remains committed to placing sustainability at the core of its business strategy and realizing a better future through innovation.
