Atos today announces that it has been recognized for leadership in corporate transparency and action on climate change by global environmental non-profit CDP, securing a place on its annual ‘A List’, based on the Group’s last climate reporting.
Based on data reported through CDP’s 2022 Climate Change questionnaire, Atos is one of a small number of companies that achieved an ‘A’ - out of more than 15,000 companies scored. This is also the 10th consecutive year that Atos has been on the CDP Leadership Band.
Atos was recognized for its actions to cut emissions, mitigate climate risks and develop the low-carbon economy, based on the data reported by the company through CDP’s 2022 climate change questionnaire.
Diane Galbe, Senior Executive Vice President, Atos comments “Atos has been ahead of the game in terms of decarbonization and is proud to be recognized for the 10th consecutive year on CDP’s Climate A list. This is a real achievement and yet another testimony to our commitment to continue to reduce our carbon emissions across our whole value chain to help tackle the major environmental challenges that we face today. We grant utmost importance to ensuring transparency to all our stakeholders about our commitment, our progress, and our actions in terms of decarbonization.”
Maxfield Weiss, Executive Director, CDP Europe said: “CDP saw nearly 20,000 companies disclose environmental data this year, including 70% of European companies by market value. COP27 showed the need for transformational change is more critical than ever if we are to limit warming to 1.5 °C. I’m therefore delighted that European companies make up nearly half of all A List companies around the world. We must cut emissions by half and eliminate deforestation by 2030, alongside achieving water security on the same timescale – there is no route to 1.5°C without nature. With the EU’s ground-breaking new reporting regulation, the CSRD, now agreed, CDP A List companies are showing they are ahead of the game – taking clear action to reduce emissions and to address environmental impacts throughout their value chains. This is the type of environmental transparency and action we need economy-wide to prevent ecological collapse’’
Atos received a ‘AAA’ rating (on a scale of AAA-CCC) in the MSCI ESG Rating assessment 2022, was rewarded a Platinum Award from EcoVadis, achieved a Prime status in the ESG assessment carried out by ISS in 2022, scored among the top 1% of the IT Services industry in the 2022 S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) and has been a member of the S&P Dow Jones World and Europe Indices for the last 8 years in a row.
