Atos boosts its decarbonization ambition committing to Net Zero by 2028

Paris (France), February eighteen, 2021

Atos today announces that it is increasing its decarbonization ambition to arrive at “net zero” by 2028. With this ambition, Atos is committing to lessening the world wide carbon emissions beneath its control and impact by fifty% by 2025[one] (scopes one, two, 3[two]), and to offset all its residual emissions by 2028.

Atos’ new trajectory is 22 decades in advance of the 2050 concentrate on established by the Paris Agreement to restrict world wide warming to 2°C by 2050 above pre-industrial degrees, and 7 decades in advance of the concentrate on formerly established by the Team.

With this ambition, Atos also commits to arrive at the SBTi concentrate on by 2025. The SBTi concentrate on on greenhouse fuel emission reduction aims to restrict world wide temperature increase to one.5°C above pre-industrial degrees. Atos’ concentrate on is five decades in advance of each the most stringent SBTi pathway and of the concentrate on formerly established by the Team.

The selection to raise its ambition was determined by the results of Atos’ decarbonization designs, which have currently materialized into a reduction of the Group’s world wide carbon emissions by fifteen% in 2020[3] (from 3.3 to two.eight M Tons CO2), of which an estimated ten% is structural enhancement in addition to the conjunctural Covid-19 impact. It also reflects Atos’ dedication to additional speed up its customers’ digital decarbonization.

Atos is the moment again positioning alone among the most superior technological innovation providers all over the world in the fight versus local weather transform and is helping to restrict world wide warming to one.5° C above pre-industrial degrees.

“It is time to speed up the fight versus local weather transform. By increasing our personal decarbonization ambition, we will superior support our customers on their journey by tapping into the electric power of digital technologies and their discovered prospective to cut down carbon emissions by up to twenty p.c in other sectors.

• Supply chain: introduction of systematic decarbonization conditions for the Atos offer chain, which has currently led to sizeable gains (e.g. a ten% reduction in the energy use of all new PCs). Atos was outlined among the top rated 7% of providers assessed for provider engagement on local weather transform in the 2020 CDP Provider Engagement Leaderboard
• Merchandise & options: Atos consistently increases the energy efficiency of its items, illustrated by the release in 2020 of the #one greenest machine among the top rated 100 major supercomputers in the entire world, provided to the Jülich Supercomputing Centre in Germany.

To make sure that its dedication to decarbonization is reflected at all degrees throughout the enterprise and to raise staff awareness on digital sustainability, Atos released in 2020 an inside carbon pricing system (eighty € / ton CO2), which applies to all of Atos’ functions, as effectively as the “Atos Green” app, which gives Atos staff with assets to make sure the least expensive possible environmental affect.

In parallel, Atos designs to establish a reinforced offsetting method, focusing largely on carbon sequestration, for all its residual emissions.

For its prospects, Atos is building a distinct decarbonization supplying to support its customers in speedily applying detailed decarbonization strategies. Capitalizing on the acquisition of EcoAct in 2020 and the advancement of a devoted portfolio, Atos now offers CO2 reduction commitments by means of DLAs (Decarbonization Degree Agreements) in all substantial contracts. These commitments, which are measurable and auditable by third events, bind Atos to indemnify customers if the yr-around-yr carbon reduction contractually agreed commitments are not satisfied.
