Atos boosts its decarbonization ambition committing to Net Zero by 2028

Paris (France), February eighteen, 2021

Atos these days announces that it is increasing its decarbonization ambition to get to “net zero” by 2028. With this ambition, Atos is committing to lowering the world carbon emissions less than its manage and influence by 50{bcdc0d62f3e776dc94790ed5d1b431758068d4852e7f370e2bcf45b6c3b9404d} by 2025[1] (scopes 1, 2, 3[2]), and to offset all its residual emissions by 2028.

Atos’ new trajectory is 22 many years ahead of the 2050 focus on established by the Paris Arrangement to limit world warming to 2°C by 2050 above pre-industrial levels, and seven many years ahead of the focus on earlier established by the Team.

With this ambition, Atos also commits to get to the SBTi focus on by 2025. The SBTi focus on on greenhouse fuel emission reduction aims to limit world temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Atos’ focus on is five many years ahead of both the most stringent SBTi pathway and of the focus on earlier established by the Team.

The determination to elevate its ambition was motivated by the good results of Atos’ decarbonization strategies, which have currently materialized into a reduction of the Group’s world carbon emissions by 15{bcdc0d62f3e776dc94790ed5d1b431758068d4852e7f370e2bcf45b6c3b9404d} in 2020[3] (from 3.3 to 2.eight M Tons CO2), of which an believed ten{bcdc0d62f3e776dc94790ed5d1b431758068d4852e7f370e2bcf45b6c3b9404d} is structural improvement in addition to the conjunctural Covid-19 impact. It also demonstrates Atos’ motivation to further accelerate its customers’ digital decarbonization.

Atos is after once more positioning itself among the most innovative technologies businesses throughout the world in the combat from weather adjust and is serving to to limit world warming to 1.5° C above pre-industrial levels. As a reminder, Atos is ranked #1 in the digital sector throughout the world by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index.

“It is time to accelerate the combat from weather adjust. By increasing our have decarbonization ambition, we will superior guidance our customers on their journey by tapping into the electrical power of digital technologies and their discovered probable to cut down carbon emissions by up to 20 p.c in other sectors. Our throughout the world field management in decarbonization will specifically reward all our customers”, reported Elie Girard, Atos CEO.

Atos has currently strongly executed on its decarbonization strategies about the past 12 months, resulting from a method that encompasses all enterprise pursuits and enterprise models, and many years of constant financial investment in abilities, competencies, and investigate. The Group’s decarbonization efforts are targeted on 4 major parts:

• Authentic estate: optimization of place of work house and electricity intake across all regions, with important efforts to adopt decarbonized electricity. This has materialized into a 34{bcdc0d62f3e776dc94790ed5d1b431758068d4852e7f370e2bcf45b6c3b9404d} lower of world CO2 emissions of Atos offices in 2020 vs. 2019 (19{bcdc0d62f3e776dc94790ed5d1b431758068d4852e7f370e2bcf45b6c3b9404d} excluding the Covid-19 impact), with an accelerated swap to carbon-totally free and renewable electricity, powering forty four{bcdc0d62f3e776dc94790ed5d1b431758068d4852e7f370e2bcf45b6c3b9404d} of all Atos offices in 2020 (compared to 25{bcdc0d62f3e776dc94790ed5d1b431758068d4852e7f370e2bcf45b6c3b9404d} in 2019)
• Datacenters: enhanced electricity efficiency materializing into a 15{bcdc0d62f3e776dc94790ed5d1b431758068d4852e7f370e2bcf45b6c3b9404d} lower of world electricity intake of Atos datacenters in 2020 vs. 2019 and a swap to carbon-totally free and renewable electricity, which now powers 55{bcdc0d62f3e776dc94790ed5d1b431758068d4852e7f370e2bcf45b6c3b9404d} of all Atos datacenters in 2020 (compared to 32{bcdc0d62f3e776dc94790ed5d1b431758068d4852e7f370e2bcf45b6c3b9404d} in 2019)
• Source chain: introduction of systematic decarbonization conditions for the Atos source chain, which has currently led to important gains (e.g. a ten{bcdc0d62f3e776dc94790ed5d1b431758068d4852e7f370e2bcf45b6c3b9404d} reduction in the electricity intake of all new PCs). Atos was listed among the major seven{bcdc0d62f3e776dc94790ed5d1b431758068d4852e7f370e2bcf45b6c3b9404d} of businesses assessed for provider engagement on weather adjust in the 2020 CDP Provider Engagement Leaderboard
• Goods & answers: Atos continuously increases the electricity efficiency of its products and solutions, illustrated by the launch in 2020 of the #1 greenest device among the major one hundred premier supercomputers in the entire world, offered to the Jülich Supercomputing Centre in Germany.

To ensure that its motivation to decarbonization is reflected at all levels across the organization and to elevate worker awareness on digital sustainability, Atos launched in 2020 an inside carbon pricing system (eighty € / ton CO2), which applies to all of Atos’ operations, as perfectly as the “Atos Green” application, which presents Atos employees with assets to ensure the most affordable attainable environmental affect.

In parallel, Atos strategies to create a strengthened offsetting system, focusing predominantly on carbon sequestration, for all its residual emissions.

For its shoppers, Atos is building a exclusive decarbonization offering to guidance its customers in speedily implementing detailed decarbonization techniques. Capitalizing on the acquisition of EcoAct in 2020 and the advancement of a focused portfolio, Atos now gives CO2 reduction commitments by DLAs (Decarbonization Amount Agreements) in all massive contracts. These commitments, which are measurable and auditable by third parties, bind Atos to indemnify customers if the 12 months-about-12 months carbon reduction contractually agreed commitments are not fulfilled.
