Atlassian
Sustainability Report
We’re building a 100-year company together. Atlassian’s sixth Sustainability Report details our progress from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024.
Planet
We’ve committed to achieve net-zero by 2040.
We believe in making long-term climate progress (together)
Our highlights
We engaged 69% of our top-emitting suppliers and saw a 43% increase year-over-year in the number of suppliers that have set science-based targets (SBTs).
Where we fell short
Our business travel emissions continue to increase, up 73% year-over-year, despite improvements to our travel policy. While we’ve engaged business leaders in other strategies to reduce emissions, setting goals and driving behavior change takes time.
Where we’re going
In the final year of our near-term targets, we’re laser focused on doing everything we can to reduce travel emissions and convince suppliers to set their own goals. In parallel, we’ll turn attention toward a strategy to achieve our recently approved long-term net-zero target by fiscal year 2040.
People
At Atlassian, we believe in the power of diversity.
We are dedicated to ensuring equity for every Atlassian and are committed to fostering an authentic culture of inclusion.
Our highlights
Participation in Atlassian’s Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) increased by more than 60% year-over-year, and we now have approximately 13% participation company-wide. ERG communities also expanded the events they host – a critical piece of fostering authentic connections and a culture of inclusion.
Where we fell short
Our global representation of women has continued to slow over the past two years, currently at 34.2% of all Atlassians, which is down 1.4% since fiscal year 2022. We know that to improve overall representation, we’ll need to focus on both hiring and retention efforts by partnering closely with leaders across the company.
Where we’re going
We’ll continue evolving our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) data practices to deliver department-specific insights and actions to better enable leaders; embed bias mitigation into our people processes and tools; and expand the external impact of our ERG communities.
Customers
Transparency and accountability underpin our human rights approach.
We also look to the Atlassian values and UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
Our highlights
We developed and publicly shared a Responsible Technology Review Template and Guide to advance the conversation on responsible product development and deployment. Within Atlassian, teams used the review more than 40 times to assess external, internal, and third-party AI products.
Where we fell short
Though we redesigned and implemented a human rights-based process to assess Atlassian’s risks related to our customers, more work remains to turn this into ongoing and proactive customer due diligence as outlined in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
Where we’re going
We will seek to further integrate due diligence practices into product development and embed greater accountability across Atlassian, fostering a culture committed to responsible technology.
Community
The Atlassian Foundation is on a mission to unleash the potential of social impact teams.
We empower teams to change lives through education.
Our highlights
The Atlassian Foundation donated US$14.8 million and 5,300 free or deeply discounted product licenses to nonprofits, and Atlassian employees logged 53,000 hours of volunteering time during the year.
Where we fell short
Even with our 75% discount, the cost of Atlassian cloud products is still prohibitive for some small nonprofits and social enterprises. We’re looking at how we can make Atlassian products accessible to all social impact teams that want to use them to grow their impact.
Where we’re going
We want thousands of social impact teams to describe the backing they receive from the Atlassian Foundation as “mission critical.” We’re using a combination of funding, people, products, and practices to help make social impact teams more effective and collaborative.
