Autodesk Inc

ISIN: US052769AC08 | United States | North America
Score 2 - Moderate
Full assessment

Autodesk Inc. demonstrates a moderate level of governance in its lobbying activities, including climate-related lobbying. The company states that "the Board of Director's Governance Committee annually reviews Autodesk's Government Affairs Policy, our trade association memberships, company policy priorities and any political activity," indicating oversight of lobbying alignment. Autodesk also engages with trade associations and similar organizations to "advance important company interests and public policy goals," and reviews its memberships annually to ensure alignment with its values and interests. However, while Autodesk mentions direct and indirect engagement with policymakers on climate-related issues, the evidence does not detail specific mechanisms or processes for monitoring or managing the alignment of these activities with its climate change strategy. Additionally, while the company commits to conducting engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, there is no explicit mention of actions taken to address misalignment within trade associations or a detailed monitoring framework for climate lobbying. This indicates some governance measures are in place, but the disclosures lack comprehensive detail on alignment processes and enforcement mechanisms.
