Autodesk Selected as One of the "World’s Most Ethical Companies®" for the Third Consecutive Year

US-based Autodesk, Inc. (Headquarters: California, USA / President & CEO: Andrew Anagnost, hereinafter referred to as Autodesk) has been selected for the third consecutive year as one of the "World's Most Ethical Companies®" by Ethisphere Institute, a global leader in corporate ethics. This award recognizes companies that emphasize business integrity and demonstrate outstanding initiatives in ethics, compliance, and corporate governance.

To be selected for this award, companies undergo a rigorous and comprehensive evaluation by Ethisphere Institute, requiring the submission of detailed information regarding internal policies, education and communication, auditing and monitoring, risk management, and corporate ethics culture. As evaluation standards become more sophisticated each year, demanding higher levels of transparency and effectiveness, Autodesk has demonstrated how it practices responsible business conduct globally.

Being recognized for three consecutive years demonstrates both Autodesk's consistent efforts and continuous evolution. The company has consistently promoted the strengthening of its governance system, expansion of oversight functions, and advancement of its ethics and compliance programs. The improvement in Ethisphere Institute's evaluation indicates that integrity at Autodesk is not static but is continuously measured, improved, and developed.

Trust is the foundation of Autodesk's business. Customers not only leverage our technology to design and create a better world but also expect us to operate responsibly, protect data, and adhere to high ethical standards. We believe that being a trusted partner leads to competitive advantage, strengthens relationships with customers and partners, enhances resilience, and contributes to long-term value creation.

With this mindset, Autodesk integrates ethical decision-making into all aspects of innovation, risk management, and growth, fostering a corporate culture where accountability is shared across the organization, and "doing the right thing" guides daily decision-making.

Tomoyuki Nakanishi, Representative Director and President of Autodesk, Inc. Japan, commented: "We are deeply honored to receive this recognition from the Ethisphere Institute. This award is proof that the values of 'integrity, trust, and transparency' that Autodesk cherishes globally have been consistently practiced, and it also signifies our responsibility for further improvement. Expectations for AI transparency and responsible business operations are increasing year by year, and we are continuously evolving to meet them. As part of this, our company recently became a member of the Partners Community for the Hiroshima AI Process, an international framework initiated and led by Japan. Moving forward, we will continue to build trust with society and our customers by enhancing our standards and strengthening our initiatives. In Japan as well, we will promote sincere business practices alongside our partners and contribute to the realization of a better society through the power of technology."
