About this update from Atlassian Corporation

[{"type":"text","content":" SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nAtlassian Corporation Plc (NASDAQ: TEAM), a leading provider of team collaboration and productivity software, today released its second annual Sustainability Report for the fiscal year 2020 and announced ambitious goals to combat global climate change.\n\nThis report, which covers our progress from July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2020, details Atlassian’s progress and trajectory across four sustainability pillars: planet, customers, people, and community.\n\nThe report includes deeper disclosures and data across all pillars and includes Atlassian’s diversity, equity, and inclusion reporting, instead of having two separate documents.

And it’s what we must do for the future sustainability of our business.”\n\nIn September 2019, at UN Climate Week, we committed to set a target to reach net-zero emissions by no later than 2050. We aligned our goals with a 1.5°C trajectory as part of our commitment to the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign, reflecting the most ambitious objectives of the Paris Agreement.\n\nLast week we announced that these goals have been approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative steering committee.
