Atos continues its journey to sustainability
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Atos presents an integrated strategy to embark on its 2019 Ambition's next
chapter of sustainable growth
Paris, May 31(st) 2017 - Atos, a leader in digital transformation, has just
published its 2016 Corporate Responsibility Integrated Report for the third
consecutive year, in accordance with the most demanding recommendations from the
Global Reporting Initiative G4 comprehensive option and the International
Integrated Reporting Framework.
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is an international independent standards
organization widely used for its sustainability reporting guidelines. Since
2014 Atos has successfully completed the GRI Content Index Service in accordance
with the G4 comprehensive option. This ongoing commitment demonstrates Atos'
world-class performance in corporate responsibility and recognizes Atos as a
trusted business partner and as a responsible employer.
In this integrated report, Atos describes how its Digital Transformation
Factory[1]powers the digital transformation of its clients and is a value
creation model for all stakeholders. This is the essence of Atos' new strategic
2019 Ambition plan: to help all our customers navigate towards digital
transformation while providing them with enhanced security, greater computing
power, application transformation and deeper collaboration while maintaining
financial discipline and sustainable performance.
Thierry Breton, Chairman and CEO of Atos, said: "Sustainability forms an
integral part of a successful digital transformation journey creating lasting
value for our clients and stakeholders and ensuring sustainable growth. I am
proud of the major progress we have made in Corporate Responsibility. In 2016,
the Dow Jones Sustainability Index ranked Atos at Gold level as the most
sustainable company in the IT services sector both in its World and Europe
Index. We have cut our carbon intensity by 50% since 2012 which has led the CDP
to rank us as best-in-class for reducing carbon emissions. All these results
were displayed in our 2016 integrated Corporate Responsibility Report which
ranked once again at the highest level of G4 comprehensive by the GRI."
The 2016 Corporate Responsibility Report and the Registration Document are
available for download on a dedicated microsite. As a reminder, Atos is
addressing four challenges as a priority:
1. People: Being a responsible employer;
2. Business and Innovation: Generating value for clients through sustainable
and innovative solutions;
3. Ethics and Supply Chain: Being an ethical and fair player within Atos'
sphere of influence;
4. Environment: Managing the corporate environmental footprint.
