In 2021[1], 140 “Software and Services” companies from the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI)[2] were assessed based on ESG criteria. The MSCI ESG Ratings report is designated to help institutional investors identify ESG risks and opportunities. MSCI ESG Research is one of the largest providers of ESG data and analysis. Companies are assessed and rated on a ‘AAA’ to ‘CCC’ scale, according to their exposure to industry specific ESG risks, and their ability to manage those risks relative to peers.
Philippe Mareine, Chief Digital & Transformation Officer, Head of CSR at Atossaid: “We are proud to see our sustainability efforts recognized by MSCI once again, as it is a guarantee of confidence for our socially-responsible customers, partners and stakeholders. In 2021, we raised our own decarbonization ambitions to reach “net zero” by 2028, reaffirming that sustainability lies at the very heart of our overall strategy. We have also undertaken new initiatives to foster diversity, digital inclusion, innovation and data security. This rating supports our long-term commitment to helping transition to a more sustainable economy.”
