Paris (France), February 18, 2021
Atos today announces that it is increasing its decarbonization ambition to get to “net zero” by 2028. With this ambition, Atos is committing to minimizing the worldwide carbon emissions under its management and influence by fifty{79e59ee6e2f5cf570628ed7ac4055bef3419265de010b59461d891d43fac5627} by 2025[one] (scopes one, 2, three[2]), and to offset all its residual emissions by 2028.
Atos’ new trajectory is 22 yrs forward of the 2050 concentrate on established by the Paris Arrangement to limit worldwide warming to 2°C by 2050 higher than pre-industrial amounts, and seven yrs forward of the concentrate on previously established by the Group.
With this ambition, Atos also commits to get to the SBTi concentrate on by 2025. The SBTi concentrate on on greenhouse gas emission reduction aims to limit worldwide temperature rise to one.5°C higher than pre-industrial amounts. Atos’ concentrate on is 5 yrs forward of both equally the most stringent SBTi pathway and of the concentrate on previously established by the Group.
The final decision to increase its ambition was enthusiastic by the accomplishment of Atos’ decarbonization plans, which have by now materialized into a reduction of the Group’s worldwide carbon emissions by 15{79e59ee6e2f5cf570628ed7ac4055bef3419265de010b59461d891d43fac5627} in 2020[three] (from three.three to 2.8 M Tons CO2), of which an estimated 10{79e59ee6e2f5cf570628ed7ac4055bef3419265de010b59461d891d43fac5627} is structural improvement in addition to the conjunctural Covid-19 influence. It also demonstrates Atos’ commitment to further accelerate its customers’ electronic decarbonization.

“It is time to accelerate the fight from climate change. By increasing our have decarbonization ambition, we will improved aid our purchasers on their journey by tapping into the electricity of electronic systems and their recognized probable to lower carbon emissions by up to 20 {79e59ee6e2f5cf570628ed7ac4055bef3419265de010b59461d891d43fac5627} in other sectors.

Atos was shown amid the major seven{79e59ee6e2f5cf570628ed7ac4055bef3419265de010b59461d891d43fac5627} of firms assessed for supplier engagement on climate change in the 2020 CDP Provider Engagement Leaderboard
- Solutions & alternatives: Atos continually increases the power efficiency of its products and solutions, illustrated by the release in 2020 of the #one greenest device amid the major a hundred most significant supercomputers in the earth, offered to the Jülich Supercomputing Centre in Germany.
