In 2022, Schrödinger completed a double materiality assessment, where we worked to determine the sustainability-related topics most important to both our company and our stakeholders. To compile the list of topics for consideration, we interviewed nearly a dozen company leaders, looked to the work of companies in adjacent industries, and consulted key ESG standards and frameworks like the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Schrödinger’s Corporate Sustainability Steering Committee is sponsored by our Chief Legal Officer and chaired by our Senior Manager of Corporate Sustainability. Our committee’s mandate is to support and strengthen Schrödinger’s ongoing commitment to Corporate Sustainability and serve as a cross-functional, enterprise-wide task force charged with advancing and expediting our programs, policies, and performance.
Schrödinger’s Board of Directors is engaged in the company’s Corporate Sustainability matters, and is committed to seeking out Board nominees who represent an array of personal and professional characteristics, backgrounds, experiences, and skills.
At Schrödinger, we believe that AI is a powerful accelerator for discovery, but its value is defined by the rigor of its application and its guidance by human expertise. Our approach ensures a commitment to scientific integrity, rigorous governance, and the ethical application of technology to solve humanity’s most complex challenges. To ensure the secure adoption of AI, Schrödinger maintains a formal AI Use Policy that establishes clear guidelines for our multidisciplinary teams. For further detail, please read more on page 20.
Schrödinger operates responsibly wherever we do business, while maintaining environments that provide inspiration and comfort for employees. Our environmental footprint centers primarily on the energy we use to run our computational software, power our offices, and engage in business travel.
While still relatively early in our environmental sustainability journey, Schrödinger made significant progress in 2025. Our greenhouse gas emissions inventory was externally assured for the first time, and we successfully submitted science-based targets for validation by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
The work of our team also helps to protect the planet through the discovery of new and better materials solutions that help reduce energy use, cut carbon emissions, and curtail waste by drastically reducing the volume of chemical compounds needed to discover new drugs, materials, and chemical solutions.
