“AspenTech has a decades long history of partnering with asset-intensive industries to provide the expertise and digital technology to guide them in their sustainability journeys,” said Antonio Pietri, President and CEO at AspenTech. “Today, with the support of our Board of Directors and executive team, I’m pleased to share that in addition to the solutions for customers, we are committing to our own net-zero target as part of tackling climate change.”
Added Rasha Hasaneen, Chief Product and Sustainability Officer at AspenTech, “Confronting climate change has never been more critical, and AspenTech is committed to operating in the most responsible way possible — and partnering with our customers to do the same. Our innovative sustainability solutions portfolio in combination with our own net-zero initiative will make a significant contribution to achieving a net-zero future.”
In keeping with the SBTi guidelines, AspenTech is developing a plan to achieve these targets which will be submitted within the next 24 months.
