The three curated activities our employees volunteered with in September included: The virtual volunteer events were hosted by Impact Champions around the globe in 60-minute sessions that provided unique opportunities for our employees to support key Autodesk Foundation Impact Opportunity Areas: climate, health and resilience, and future of work. Though this year’s campaign was postponed for a few months while Autodesk employees settled in to working from home, I’m thrilled to share that we were able to reimagine how to engage employees in this important worldwide call to action and complete yet another great Global Month of Impact at Autodesk!ĭuring the month of September, more than 1,000 Autodesk employees gathered together to foster climate ecosystem resilience, aid in COVID-19 response, and give career advice to underrepresented youth. Past years’ projects have included assembling solar lights for children living in energy poverty, creating water purifiers for families without access to clean drinking water, and packaging meals to be deployed to individuals in need of nourishing food. Typically we hold Autodesk’s Global Month of Impact during the month of May, when employee Impact Champions around the world host group volunteering events for colleagues to gather at Autodesk offices worldwide to make a positive impact together. Our employees expressed a desire to volunteer while working remotely, so earlier this summer, we created virtual opportunities for Autodeskers to contribute to initiatives like decreasing the instances of COVID-19 around the globe, supporting racial equality, and empowering future workers of the world. With all the 2020 events that have made this year like no other, we had to find ways to adjust many of these opportunities.
Throughout the year we offer multiple opportunities for employees to participate in volunteer activities and make a positive impact: from curated group events to individual opportunities, pro bono consulting opportunities to donation matching from the Autodesk Foundation, and more. This activity helps scientists understand the changing lives and environment of the penguins.įrom the first day on the job, Autodesk employees are granted paid time to volunteer in support of the causes most important to them. Autodesk volunteers supported research on climate change ecosystem resilience by counting and classifying penguins from images in remote regions.
