Responsible Business Matters

At Synopsys, we recognize that as we drive innovation and business success in the era of pervasive intelligence, we are simultaneously responsible for the sustainability of our operations, products and ecosystem, which may impact our long-term value as a company. 

Our Responsible Business program at Synopsys provides a focus and structure for how we address both our own operational impact on the world and our ability to influence others around us. For example, Synopsys is driving energy savings in the semiconductor ecosystem through solutions that optimize energy efficiency in the design and use of chips and systems, along with solutions that reduce energy use, water use, and waste generation in semiconductor manufacturing. With the addition of our Ansys business, we now offer expanded capabilities that help customers model, predict, and improve product performance and sustainability across a broader range of industries. Together, these solutions enable more efficient design cycles, reduce physical prototyping, and support the development of energy-efficient, AI-enabled systems, further amplifying our impact on responsible innovation.

We maintain a robust governance structure for our Responsible Business program, gauging and acting on our highest priority responsible business impacts, business risks, and opportunities, as we believe this creates positive impact for our stockholders as well as our customers, employees, partners, and local communities.
