Paris (France), February eighteen, 2021
Atos right now announces that it is elevating its decarbonization ambition to achieve “net zero” by 2028. With this ambition, Atos is committing to lessening the international carbon emissions underneath its handle and affect by fifty{312eb768b2a7ccb699e02fa64aff7eccd2b9f51f6a579147b7ed58dbcded82a2} by 2025[1] (scopes 1, two, three[two]), and to offset all its residual emissions by 2028.
Atos’ new trajectory is 22 a long time ahead of the 2050 target set by the Paris Agreement to restrict international warming to 2°C by 2050 previously mentioned pre-industrial levels, and seven a long time ahead of the target beforehand set by the Team.
With this ambition, Atos also commits to achieve the SBTi target by 2025. The SBTi target on greenhouse fuel emission reduction aims to restrict international temperature increase to 1.5°C previously mentioned pre-industrial levels. Atos’ target is 5 a long time ahead of each the most stringent SBTi pathway and of the target beforehand set by the Team.
The conclusion to increase its ambition was enthusiastic by the accomplishment of Atos’ decarbonization plans, which have previously materialized into a reduction of the Group’s international carbon emissions by 15{312eb768b2a7ccb699e02fa64aff7eccd2b9f51f6a579147b7ed58dbcded82a2} in 2020[three] (from three.three to two.eight M Tons CO2), of which an estimated 10{312eb768b2a7ccb699e02fa64aff7eccd2b9f51f6a579147b7ed58dbcded82a2} is structural improvement in addition to the conjunctural Covid-19 influence. It also demonstrates Atos’ dedication to more accelerate its customers’ digital decarbonization.
Atos is the moment again positioning by itself amid the most superior technological innovation firms around the world in the fight towards local weather alter and is encouraging to restrict international warming to 1.5° C previously mentioned pre-industrial levels. As a reminder, Atos is ranked #1 in the digital sector around the world by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index.
“It is time to accelerate the fight towards local weather alter. By elevating our personal decarbonization ambition, we will far better help our purchasers on their journey by tapping into the electricity of digital technologies and their recognized probable to cut down carbon emissions by up to 20 {312eb768b2a7ccb699e02fa64aff7eccd2b9f51f6a579147b7ed58dbcded82a2} in other sectors. Our around the world field leadership in decarbonization will instantly profit all our customers”, mentioned Elie Girard, Atos CEO.
Atos has previously strongly executed on its decarbonization plans above the previous calendar year, resulting from a strategy that encompasses all small business functions and small business models, and a long time of continuous investment in capabilities, competencies, and research. The Group’s decarbonization endeavours are concentrated on 4 principal regions:
- Genuine estate: optimization of workplace room and power intake across all locations, with sizeable endeavours to undertake decarbonized power. This has materialized into a 34{312eb768b2a7ccb699e02fa64aff7eccd2b9f51f6a579147b7ed58dbcded82a2} reduce of international CO2 emissions of Atos offices in 2020 vs. 2019 (19{312eb768b2a7ccb699e02fa64aff7eccd2b9f51f6a579147b7ed58dbcded82a2} excluding the Covid-19 influence), with an accelerated swap to carbon-free of charge and renewable power, powering 44{312eb768b2a7ccb699e02fa64aff7eccd2b9f51f6a579147b7ed58dbcded82a2} of all Atos offices in 2020 (as opposed to 25{312eb768b2a7ccb699e02fa64aff7eccd2b9f51f6a579147b7ed58dbcded82a2} in 2019)
- Datacenters: enhanced power effectiveness materializing into a 15{312eb768b2a7ccb699e02fa64aff7eccd2b9f51f6a579147b7ed58dbcded82a2} reduce of international power intake of Atos datacenters in 2020 vs. 2019 and a swap to carbon-free of charge and renewable power, which now powers fifty five{312eb768b2a7ccb699e02fa64aff7eccd2b9f51f6a579147b7ed58dbcded82a2} of all Atos datacenters in 2020 (as opposed to 32{312eb768b2a7ccb699e02fa64aff7eccd2b9f51f6a579147b7ed58dbcded82a2} in 2019)
- Source chain: introduction of systematic decarbonization standards for the Atos source chain, which has previously led to sizeable gains (e.g. a 10{312eb768b2a7ccb699e02fa64aff7eccd2b9f51f6a579147b7ed58dbcded82a2} reduction in the power intake of all new PCs). Atos was outlined amid the major seven{312eb768b2a7ccb699e02fa64aff7eccd2b9f51f6a579147b7ed58dbcded82a2} of firms assessed for provider engagement on local weather alter in the 2020 CDP Supplier Engagement Leaderboard
- Goods & solutions: Atos continuously increases the power effectiveness of its solutions, illustrated by the launch in 2020 of the #1 greenest device amid the major a hundred major supercomputers in the planet, provided to the Jülich Supercomputing Centre in Germany.
To make certain that its dedication to decarbonization is reflected at all levels across the company and to increase personnel recognition on digital sustainability, Atos released in 2020 an internal carbon pricing mechanism (eighty € / ton CO2), which applies to all of Atos’ functions, as properly as the “Atos Green” app, which delivers Atos staff members with resources to make certain the lowest doable environmental effect.
In parallel, Atos plans to create a reinforced offsetting plan, focusing mainly on carbon sequestration, for all its residual emissions.
For its clients, Atos is creating a distinct decarbonization offering to help its purchasers in swiftly applying extensive decarbonization approaches. Capitalizing on the acquisition of EcoAct in 2020 and the progress of a devoted portfolio, Atos now presents CO2 reduction commitments via DLAs (Decarbonization Level Agreements) in all large contracts. These commitments, which are measurable and auditable by third events, bind Atos to indemnify purchasers if the calendar year-above-calendar year carbon reduction contractually agreed commitments are not achieved.
