Almost two years after these indicators, and in the face of a new scenario in which the economy is beginning to reactivate, viable alternatives are required to reduce the carbon footprint without harming the productive labor market.
Net-Zero: A simple but challenging concept
During the last decade, at Atos we have been pioneers in decarbonisation. We reduced our own carbon intensity by 60% between 2012 and 2019, achieving carbon neutrality as of 2018. With this ambition, we committed to reduce global carbon emissions under our control and influence by 50% by 2025, and to offset all of our residual emissions by 2028.
In addition, as a leading technology company, we combine our experience and solutions to help develop and implement the strategy net-zero of our clients. We offer an initial consultancy to understand the degree of maturity of the processes, staff training Y technology available relative to its net carbon emission targets.
Once again, digital transformation is the key element to achieve this, starting with the migration of its main applications to the cloud, the reduction of local infrastructure through the virtualization of servers, support in the purchase of equipment with a low carbon footprint, among others. others. The commitment is also achieved in actions that are more accessible in the short term, such as reducing energy consumption by adapting work environments to systems that are more aware of their impact on a day-to-day basis.
There is a lot of interest in adopting this type of technology, not only because of the commitment to environmental impact but also because of the benefits in terms of corporate image and also economic benefits in receiving the so-called green bonds that provide an additional source of income for the companies.
In conclusion, sustainability is a fundamental part of the strategy, value and differential of companies compared to their clients, competitors, collaborators and society in general. The ability to transform will be just as -or more- important than the services they offer to the market. It is time to put the issue on the table and open conversations, the future is today.
