Press Release
Atos launches sustainable digital
workplace suite to help organizations reach CSR goals
Paris, France, and Dubai, UAE - December
6, 2023 - Atos today announces the launch of a new global
offering designed to help enterprises reach their CSR goals. With
57% of enterprise IT’s carbon footprint attributable to workplace
devices*, this service offering represents a major step forward in
providing clients with access to new sustainable IT solutions.
Since the 2021 announcement of Atos’ partnership
with the BSI Kitemark™ certified startup Circular Computing at
COP26, Atos has expanded its portfolio and set up a comprehensive
suite of more than 20 “Tech for Good” services and solutions,
encompassing social value and accessibility criteria as well as
data analytics and user interfaces.
The first segment in the new offering reshapes
device lifecycle management. Most companies replace employee
laptops every three to four years, with each new device accountable
for emissions of more than 300 kg of CO2e (carbon dioxide
equivalent)**. Atos is now working with a global network of
industrial partners to offer clients lower-carbon laptop
replacement options, including performance-based refresh and
extended use, refurbishing, or remanufacturing.
However, to optimize IT assets it is critical to
accurately measure their usage and the carbon footprint of digital
behaviors. Atos’ new offering includes a set of dashboards that
enable end users and executives to better monitor and improve their
workplace carbon footprint.
The “Atos Tech 4 Good Assistant” application
offers employees real-time feedback about their personal
performance against environmental and social parameters. The
assistant can recommend actions such as removing unnecessary
programs, turning off the laptop or changing settings on the
device. The assistant is available via Microsoft Teams or pop-up
notifications, and provides a monthly performance report for each
end user.
The final part of the sustainable workplace
offering provides consolidated data and recommended actions to IT
and CSR leaders. These recommendations allow leaders to not only
closely monitor and manage their workplace carbon footprint, but
also to improve the impact of the service in terms of social value
and accessibility. They are designed to support CSR reporting,
which is becoming an increasingly challenging task for
organizations across the world.
The Atos Tech 4 Good Assistant solution already
monitors more than 100 device models, applications and services,
and offers 10+ dashboards to track metrics like device redeployment
and improved electricity use. The offering has been co-designed
with several Atos clients to ensure it meets the needs of different
industries and geographies before expanding to more devices and
services as it ramps up in 2024.
Alexa Van Den Bempt, Senior Vice
President, Digital Business Platforms, Tech Foundations,
Atos said: “I am very excited about this new offering. Not
only will it help meet our clients’ monitoring and reporting needs,
but we are also taking major strides towards making decarbonization
more compelling, empowering employees to make the right choices for
our planet.”
The Atos Group has been committed to reducing
the environmental impact of activities across its worldwide value
chain for more than 12 years. It has been a member of the Dow Jones
Sustainability Indexes for the World and Europe for eight years,
and was among the first three European IT companies to make the
list. Atos has earned an “A” score for more than 10 years by the
CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project), which rewards actions to fight
global warming.
Digital Workplace is one of the strategic core
activities of Atos’ Tech Foundations business line. It provides
end-to-end employee experience through digital collaboration and
productivity tools, as well as intelligent customer care services.
In March 2023, Atos has been positioned as a Leader by Gartner in
its 2023 Magic Quadrant for Outsourced Digital Workplace Services
(ODWS) for the seventh consecutive year.
