A Letter from John Williams
CEO & Co-founder
At Autocase, we are driven to ensure every decision about the built environment delivers meaningful, measurable impacts for people, profit, and the planet. Over the past decade, we’ve helped direct over $100 billion into sustainable infrastructure and building projects that strengthen communities, boost resilience, and reduce environmental harm.
Our team of expert economists and software developers provides innovative software solutions and advisory services that empower design teams, consultants, asset owners, and investors to make data-informed decisions. By quantifying social, environmental, and financial impacts, we help clients unlock the hidden value in their projects—shaping a more sustainable future across sectors like transportation, utilities, aviation, commercial real estate, and beyond.
Autocase stands apart by using economic insights to show that sustainability isn’t just good for the planet—it’s essential for smart, long-term investments. Our mission extends beyond financial returns, ensuring that every infrastructure and building decision contributes to a resilient future.
As we confront global challenges like climate change, urban growth, and economic uncertainty, our solutions, grounded in the triple bottom line, bridge the gap between sustainability and profitability by measuring impact.
Wherever you are on your journey to make a difference, we invite you to join us. Together, we can build a better future—one decision at a time.
