Cadence Committed to Sustainability: Inside the Mission Sustainable Program

Cadence has a mission to help solve technology's toughest challenges to make a lasting, positive impact on our world, highlighting the company's commitment to environmental stewardship and empowering employees to become ambassadors for sustainability both within and beyond the organization.

In 2023, we launched the Mission Sustainable program. The program's two key components, the Mission Sustainable Ideation Challenge and the Live the Brand Sustainably Quiz, engage employees across all levels and departments, fostering a culture of sustainability throughout the company.

The Mission Sustainable Ideation Challenge encourages employees to contribute innovative ideas to advance the company's sustainability objectives. Ideas cover many areas, including water management, zero waste, energy efficiency, and supply chain optimization. Cadence has identified and showcased the most promising challenge ideas through a collaborative process involving leadership committees and judging panels. The top entrants had the opportunity to present their ideas to an executive panel and Cadence employees, further fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation.

Through the Live the Brand Sustainably Quiz, employees can deepen their understanding of Cadence's Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives. They can win prizes by participating in the quiz while gaining valuable insights into the company's sustainability progress. The quiz has garnered significant interest, with impressive levels of internal engagement, demonstrating the widespread support for Cadence's sustainability efforts.

"Nurturing sustainability isn't just a corporate responsibility. It's a collective endeavor that requires the commitment and passion of every individual. At Cadence, our sustainability initiatives are not only about reducing our environmental footprint but also empowering our employees to become agents of positive change. Through meaningful engagement and collaboration, we are not only shaping a more sustainable future for our company but also inspiring a broader culture of environmental stewardship," said Nimish Modi, SVP and GM, Strategy and New Ventures and Executive Sponsor of Environmental Sustainability

The Mission Sustainable program has sparked enthusiasm and engagement across Cadence, empowering employees to actively drive sustainability initiatives. By harnessing the collective creativity and expertise of its workforce, Cadence is making strides towards its sustainability goals and inspiring others to join the journey towards a more sustainable future.
